Now to make free local calls, you need a finishing nail. I highly
|
|
recommend "6D E.G. FINISH C/H, 2 INCH" nails. These are about 3/32 of
|
|
an inch in diameter and 2 inches long (of course). You also need a large
|
|
size paper clip. By large I mean they are about 2 inches long
|
|
(FOLDED). Then you unfold the paper clip. Unfold it by taking each piece
|
|
and moving it out 90 degrees. When it is done it should look somewhat
|
|
like this:

Now, on to the neat stuff. What you do, instead of unscrewing the
|
|
glued-on mouthpiece, is insert the nail into the center hole of
|
|
the mouthpiece (where you talk) and push it in with
|
|
pressure or just hammer it in by hitting the nail on something.
|
|
Just DON'T KILL THE MOUTHPIECE! You could damage it
|
|
if you insert the nail too far or at some weird angle. If this
|
|
happens then the other party won't be able to hear what you say.
|
|
You now have a hole in the mouthpiece in which you can easily insert the
|
|
paper clip. So, take out the nail and put in the paper clip.
|
|
Then take the other end of the paper clip and shove it under the rubber
|
|
cord protector at the bottom of the handset (you know, the blue guy...).
|
|
This should end up looking remotely like...like this:
|
|

|
Cord Blue guy
|
|
(The paper clip is shoved under the blue guy to make a good connection
|
|
between the inside of the mouthpiece and the metal cord.)
|
|
Now, dial the number of a local number you wish to call, sayyyy,
|
|
MCI. If everything goes okay, it should ring and not answer with the
|
|
"The Call You Have Made Requires a 20 Cent Deposit" recording. After the
|
|
other end answers the phone, remove the paper clip. It's all that
|
|
simple, see?
|
|
There are a couple problems, however. One is, as I mentioned
|
|
earlier, the mouthpiece not working after you punch it. If this
|
|
happens to you, simply move on to the next payphone. The one you are
|
|
now on is lost. Another problem is that the touch tones won't work
|
|
when the paper clip is in the mouthpiece. There are two ways around this..
|
|
A> Dial the first 6 numbers. This should be done without the paper
|
|
clip making the connection, i.e., one side should not be connected.
|
|
Then connect the paper clip, hold down the last digit, and slowly
|
|
pull the paper clip out at the mouthpiece's end.
|
|
B> Don't use the paper clip at all. Keep the nail in after you punch
|
|
it. Dial the first 6 digits. Before dialing the last digit, touch
|
|
the nail head to the plate on the main body of the phone, the money
|
|
safe thingy..then press the last number. The reason that this method
|
|
is sometimes called clear boxing is because there is
|
|
another type of phone which lets you actually make the call and listen
|
|
to them say "Hello, hello?" but it cuts off the mouthpiece so they
|
|
can't hear you. The Clear Box is used on that to amplify your voice
|
|
signals and send it through the earpiece. If you see how this is
|
|
even slightly similar to the method I have just described up there,
|
|
kindly explain it to ME!! Cause I don't GET IT! Anyways, this DOES
|
|
work on almost all single slot, Dial Tone First payphones (Pacific Bell
|
|
for sure). I do it all the time. This is the least, I STRESS
|
|
*LEAST*, risky form of Phreaking.
