So, you have an enemy who talks behind your back, eh? Or, maybe you just would
|
||
|
|
like to "listen" in on your friend's conversations? Well, if you have
|
||
|
|
2 phone lines and call waiting on one of them, you are in luck. (Only one
|
||
|
|
problem: your friend must also have call waiting!)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Procedure:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[1] Call up your friend with the phone you want to listen with. When he
|
||
|
|
answers call waiting (he's already on the phone, and you are the 2nd
|
||
|
|
caller), then you either sit there or say: sorry, I have the wrong #.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[2] Next, you wait until he goes back to the other line (puts you on hold).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[3] Then, pick up your other line and call ->YOUR<- call waiting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[4] Answer call waiting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[5] Then go back to him. (Answer, and then click back.. Click ->2<- times
|
||
|
|
Answer, and go back..)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[6] Hang up your second line
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[7] You are now on the line!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[8] Listen and be Q U I E T ! He can hear you!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Techniques I use to prevent noise or confusion:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have call forwarding, turn it on and forward calls somewhere
|
||
|
|
before you start listening. If a call comes through on your call waiting circuit
|
||
|
|
, the people talking (your buddie and his pal) will not hear
|
||
|
|
anything, but after you answer call waiting and come back, they will
|
||
|
|
hear the other call hang up (two clicks). If you don't have call forwarding,
|
||
|
|
I suggest you get it if you are going to make a habit of this, because it
|
||
|
|
will become a major pain in the ass. When your call waiting rings, you are
|
||
|
|
removed from the "listening" conversation and placed back on his hold
|
||
|
|
circuit. In order to get back on, you must answer the phone and wait for
|
||
|
|
your party (when you answer the phone, tell the guy you are in a hurry and
|
||
|
|
you have to go or you'll call him back later or something) to hang up. hen
|
||
|
|
he or she hangs up, you will be back on the conversation. Then, one of your
|
||
|
|
pals will say: What was that? (because of the clicks).. So, try to use call
|
||
|
|
forwarding if you can. Remember: Have fun, and don't abuse it. I am not sure
|
||
|
|
about it, because I just discovered it. It is illegal (what isn't these days)
|
||
|
|
because it is "invading privacy". I don't know if the phone company just did
|
||
|
|
not realize there was a flaw in it, or that was planned for line testing, I
|
||
|
|
am not sure. Have fun!
