:Clear Box:
|
|||
|
|
-----------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
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 don't 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 cannot speak to the person on the other
|
|||
|
|
end- because your mouth piece gets 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 DTF, dial-tone-first service, 2nd, it doesn't require any special
|
|||
|
|
equipment, (for the phone company)This payphone will work on any phone line.
|
|||
|
|
Usually a payphone line is different, but this is a regular phone line and it
|
|||
|
|
is set up so the phone does all the chartering.
