I am writing this article to inform those of you that have a box and are
|
|||
|
|
getting bored with nothing to do or if you just aren't quite sure what you are
|
|||
|
|
doing when you play around with MF tones. First of all, when you blast out the
|
|||
|
|
2600hz tone, you are dropping a trunk and essentially, you become your own
|
|||
|
|
operator. When you place a long distance phone call, a computer usually does
|
|||
|
|
the mf tones for you and you don't hear them. In this article, I will deal with
|
|||
|
|
international calling, conferencing, emergency-break throughs and just having
|
|||
|
|
fun with the box. But now days, boxing is much more riskier than it was back
|
|||
|
|
10-15 years ago, so if you aren't cautious or you live on a modern ESS, than you
|
|||
|
|
might just get caught (but if you're not 18 yet then big deal! Go rag the hell
|
|||
|
|
out of Ma Bell!)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Have you ever wanted to call overseas and talk to someone in another country?
|
|||
|
|
Or are you just bored of Metrofone or MCI? Then try this: When you place an
|
|||
|
|
international call, it is routed through the closest or closest unbusy
|
|||
|
|
international link. You can find these links by going KP-213-182-ST. This is
|
|||
|
|
the Los Angles link. Most major cities have them by the coast like New York
|
|||
|
|
KP-212-182-ST and even Denver KP-303-182-ST. When you call one of these links,
|
|||
|
|
you will get a tone, sometimes not, and then you have about 10 seconds to enter
|
|||
|
|
the number you are dialing in MF tones. If you make a mistake, it will tell
|
|||
|
|
you. The normal format for making a call would be: KP-212-182-ST (wait for
|
|||
|
|
tone) KP-(country code)-(phone number in country) -ST then wait for the call to
|
|||
|
|
go through.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There two ways to do conference calls. One is to MF up KP-213-080-1050- ST.
|
|||
|
|
This gives you Aliance tele-conferencing in Los Angles. The way this one works
|
|||
|
|
is you enter KP-2130801050-ST wait till you hear it drop twice then you enter
|
|||
|
|
another number that the call is going to be billed to (usually some- one that
|
|||
|
|
you don't like). This one is totally computer controlled and you just enter the
|
|||
|
|
info needed by a normal touch tone pad. The other way for conferencing is to mf
|
|||
|
|
up your local or not so local conference operator. To do this just drop a trunk
|
|||
|
|
then go KP-(area code)-11511-ST and the lady will answer "conference operator,
|
|||
|
|
can I help you?" Now if you wanted to hook just 1-10 people together you give
|
|||
|
|
her the ph#s and she will dial them up and put everyone on together, meanwhile,
|
|||
|
|
she thinks you are the operator setting it up for someone else. One note,
|
|||
|
|
whenever you are dialing in mf tones and get an operator, they have no idea that
|
|||
|
|
you are boxing, they just think you are an operator from somewhere out of town.
|
|||
|
|
So don't be scared, give those operators hell! In fact, if you can find a good
|
|||
|
|
operator, they will even tell you how to do things.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now don't you all hate a busy signal? Ever try to get to someone and the line
|
|||
|
|
was busy? Well, don't fret anymore! Let's say that the phone number
|
|||
|
|
612-874-8700 was busy and you wanted to get through. First you would drop your
|
|||
|
|
trunk then go KP-612-121-ST. This will give you a local operator in the 612
|
|||
|
|
area code. When she answers (she thinks you are an operator from some- where
|
|||
|
|
else calling) you say "emergency interruption on area code 612-874-8700 and the
|
|||
|
|
party's name is Peter (or some dumb name)" Since trunk verification cannot be
|
|||
|
|
done by outside toll switching systems, you cannot do these by boxing and you
|
|||
|
|
have to let the operator do them for you. Again, she has no way of knowing that
|
|||
|
|
you aren't an operator when you call her unless you are 12 years old and sound
|
|||
|
|
like a sniveling little wimp. After the operator has cleared the line, you can
|
|||
|
|
dial it and it won't be busy. If it is out of order she may say it is OD or off
|
|||
|
|
the hook.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now let's say you just want to make an ordinarily phone call or call an 800
|
|||
|
|
ph#. After you drop your trunk, just do this KP-(area code)-(ph#)-ST, and
|
|||
|
|
notice that no '1' is needed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, what if you have a friend with a phone in his car? Well, you just MF up
|
|||
|
|
the mobile operator by going KP-(area code)-11521-ST. And if you would like to
|
|||
|
|
test out some Bell calling card numbers, the number is KP-(AREA CODE)-11611-ST
|
|||
|
|
or jupst plain KP-11611-ST if the city that you dropped the line in has a local
|
|||
|
|
Bellcard computer. Have phun boxing, but don't get busted!
