CLEAR BOX PLANS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE CLEAR BOX IS A NEW DEVICE WHICH HAS JUST BEEN INVENTED THAT CAN BE USED
|
|||
|
|
THROUGHOUT CANADA AND RURAL UNITED STATES. THE CLEAR BOX WORKS ON "POSTPAY"
|
|||
|
|
PAYPHONES (FORTRESS FONES). THOSE ARE THE PAYPHONES THAT DONT REQUIRE PAYMENT
|
|||
|
|
UNTIL AFTER THE CONNECTION IS ESTABLISHED. YOU PICK UP THE FONE, GET A DIAL
|
|||
|
|
TONE, DIAL YOUR NUMBER, AND THEN INSERT YOUR MONEY AFTER THE PERSON ANSWERS.
|
|||
|
|
IF YOU DONT DEPOSIT THE MONEY THEN YOU CAN NOT SPEAK TO THE PERSON ON THE
|
|||
|
|
OTHER END- BECAUSE YOUR MOUTH PEICE IS CUT OFF, BUT, NOT THE EAR PIECE.
|
|||
|
|
(OBVIOUSLY THESE PHONES ARE NICE FOR FREE CALLS TO WEATHER OR TIME OR
|
|||
|
|
OTHER SUCH RECORDINGS).
|
|||
|
|
ALL YOU MUST DO IS TO GO TO YOUR NEARBY RADIO SHACK, OR ELECTRONICS
|
|||
|
|
STORE, AND GET A FOUR-TRANSISTOR AMPLIFIER AND A TELEPHONE SUCTION CUP
|
|||
|
|
INDUCTION PICK-UP. THE INDUCTION PICK-UP WOULD BE HOOKED UP AS IT NORMALLY
|
|||
|
|
WOULD TO RECORD A CONVERSATION, EXCEPT THAT IT WOULD BE PLUGGED INTO THE OUT-
|
|||
|
|
PUT OF THE AMPLIFIER AND A MICROPHONE WOULD BE HOOKED TO THE INPUT. SO WHEN
|
|||
|
|
THE PARTY THAT IS BEING CALLED ANSWERS, THE CALLER COULD SPEAK THROUGH THE
|
|||
|
|
LITTLE MICROPHONE INSTEAD. HIS VOICE THEN GOES THROUGH THE AMPLIFIER AND OUT
|
|||
|
|
THE INDUCTION COIL, AND INTO THE BACK OF THE RECIEVER WHERE IT WOULD THEN BE
|
|||
|
|
BROADCAST THROUGH THE PHONE LINES AND THE OTHER PARTY WOULD BE ABLE TO HEAR
|
|||
|
|
THE CALLER. THE CLEAR BOX THUS 'CLEARS UP' THE PROBLEM OF NOT BEING HEARD.
|
|||
|
|
LUCKILY, THE LINE WILL NOT BE CUT-OFF AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME BECAUSE
|
|||
|
|
IT WILL WAIT FOREVER FOR THE COINS TO BE PUT IN.
|
|||
|
|
THE BIGGEST ADVANTAGE FOR ALL OF US ABOUT THIS NEW CLEAR BOX IS THE
|
|||
|
|
FACT THAT THIS TYPE OF PAYPHONE WILL MOST LIKELY BECOME VERY COMMON.
|
|||
|
|
DUE TO A FEW THINGS: 1ST, IT IS A CHEAP WAY OF GETTING THE <20><><EFBFBD>,DIAL-TONE-FIRST
|
|||
|
|
SERVICE, 2ND, IT DOESNT REQUIRE ANY SPECIAL EQUIPMENT, (FOR THE PHONE COMPANY)
|
|||
|
|
THIS PAYPHONE WILL WORK ON ANY PHONE LINE. USUSALLY A PAYPHONE LINE IS
|
|||
|
|
DIFFERENT, BUT THIS IS A REGULAR PHONE LINE AND IT IS SET UP SO THE PHONE
|
|||
|
|
DOES ALL THE CHARGING, NOT THE COMPANY.

The clear box is a new device which has just been invented that can be used
|
|||
|
|
throughout Canada and rural United States. The clear box works on "PostPay"
|
|||
|
|
payphones (fortress fones). Those are the payphones that dont require payment
|
|||
|
|
until after the c
|
|||
|
|
onnec
|
|||
|
|
tion is established. You pick up the fone, get a dial tone, dial your number,
|
|||
|
|
and then insert your money after the person answers. If you dont deposit the
|
|||
|
|
money then you can not speak to the person on the other end- because your
|
|||
|
|
mouth peice is cut o
|
|||
|
|
ff, b
|
|||
|
|
ut, not the ear piece. (obviously these phones are nice for free calls to
|
|||
|
|
weather or time or other such recordings).
|
|||
|
|
All you must do is to go to your nearby Radio Shack, or electronics
|
|||
|
|
store, and get a four-transistor amplifier and a telephone suction cup
|
|||
|
|
induction pick-up. The induction pick-up would be hooked up as it normally
|
|||
|
|
would to record a conversatio
|
|||
|
|
n, ex
|
|||
|
|
cept that it would be plugged into the output of the amplifier and a
|
|||
|
|
microphone would be hooked to the input. So when the party that is being
|
|||
|
|
called answers, the caller could speak through the little microphone instead.
|
|||
|
|
His voice then goes through th
|
|||
|
|
e amp
|
|||
|
|
lifier and out the induction coil, and into the back of the reciever where it
|
|||
|
|
would then be broadcast through the phone lines and the other party would be
|
|||
|
|
able to hear the caller. The Clear Box thus 'clears up' the problem of not
|
|||
|
|
being heard. Luckily
|
|||
|
|
, the
|
|||
|
|
line will not be cut-off after a certain amount of time because it will wait
|
|||
|
|
forever for the coins to be put in.
|
|||
|
|
The biggest advantage for all of us about this new clear box is the
|
|||
|
|
fact that this type of payphone will most likely become very common. Due to a
|
|||
|
|
few things: 1st, it is a cheap way of getting the DTF,dial-tone-first service,
|
|||
|
|
2nd, it doesnt req
|
|||
|
|
uire
|
|||
|
|
any special equipment, (for the phone company) This payphone will work on any
|
|||
|
|
phone line. Ususally a payphone line is different, but this is a regular phone
|
|||
|
|
line and it is set up so the phone does all the charging, not the company.
