Everybody's familiar with those cheesy piece of shit phones called
|
|
COCOTs that are popping up everywhere these days. The problem with COCOTs
|
|
is that they are very particular as to the billing arrangements and carrier
|
|
used. Another problem is that most COCOTS mute the receiver until the coins
|
|
are actually placed in the machine, making red boxing nearly impossible. As
|
|
you may recall from another file I wrote, you can unmute the receiver by
|
|
holding a fairly large magnet to the mouth piece (I used a 2lb magnetic
|
|
purchased at a magic shop in a PK kit (used for levitating coins/matches/
|
|
balls/pins/cards/ect)). Another method that works on some operators, but not
|
|
all, is to have the operator dial the number for you. Just call and tell
|
|
her/him that you were trying to place a call to the number, paying with
|
|
coins, and it dropped carrier on your ass. The operator will dial the # for
|
|
you, and then ask you to insert X amount of change. As you can guess, at
|
|
this point, the receiver is unmuted and you can hammer away with quarter
|
|
tones.
|
|
This is also an excellent method of placing local calls using a red
|
|
box. Call the operator and tell him/her that you are trying to place a call
|
|
to XXX-XXXX but the number isn't registering. The patter can go something
|
|
like this, "Hello, Operator? Yes, I'm trying to place a call to XXX-XXXX but
|
|
the 1, 4, and 7 keys on the keypad aren't working/are glued in place/someone
|
|
smeared dog shit on them/etc. I want to pay with coins, as it is only a
|
|
local call. I really need to place this call, I was wondering if you could
|
|
dial the number for me?" Bingo. She'll ask you to insert your quarter and
|
|
....NA-NA-NA-NA-NA! Just be kind to the operator and you shouldn't have any
|
|
problems, even if it takes two or three tries before she accepts your
|
|
"money." If she makes a comment about the tone, just pretend like you don't
|
|
hear anything.
|
|
|
|
OP: "I'm sorry the coin didn't register sir, please redeposit
|
|
25 cents."
|
|
YOU: NA-NA-NA-NA-NA
|
|
OP: "What was that noise sir?"
|
|
YOU: "What noise?"
|
|
OP: "Please redeposit 25 cents."
|
|
YOU: NA-NA-NA-NA-NA
|
|
OP: "There did you hear that?"
|
|
YOU: "Hear what?" etc...
|
|
|
|
Some operators are becoming real bitches about red boxes, and just
|
|
will not connect the call (they'll pretend like they're "on to you"). If
|
|
this happens, stop being polite ask for her operator number, then ask for her
|
|
supervisor. Make sure you get her operator number out of her, if anything
|
|
just to scare the shit out of her. When her supervisor comes on, start
|
|
bitching up a storm, blowing tones in the bitch's ear, whatever. Hang up,
|
|
try again, and hope you get another op. Red boxing is slowly becoming a dying
|
|
sport. Radio Shack discontinued their tone dialer, and Hallmark is changing
|
|
the speed on their cards' recorders. This brings me to the whole point of
|
|
this article: Ripping Off Those Fucking COCOTS.
|
|
|
|
Ok, here's what you do to find out whether or not a COCOT can receive
|
|
incoming billing calls. Pick up the handset and dial 102880. NOTE: even
|
|
some COCOTs will not let you dial another carrier's code. If this happens,
|
|
call 1-800-CALL-ATT instead. When you finally get ahold of an AT&T operator,
|
|
say the following, "Hello, Operator. This is <insert name here>. I'm a
|
|
lineman setting up this COCOT in the XXX exchange. Could you please tell me if
|
|
you are receiving screen code 88 on your terminal?" The operator will
|
|
reply with either yes or no. If yes, then say, "Yes? Ok, everything is in
|
|
working order. Thank you for your cooperation." -CLICK- Hangup and move to
|
|
another phone, this isn't the answer we're looking for. If she says no,
|
|
however, you've got yourself a winner. "No? Ma'am, would you mind reading
|
|
me the screen code that IS displayed on your terminal? Ok, thank you."
|
|
What screen code 88 means is that the phone you are calling from is indeed
|
|
a payphone, and you can not bill calls to this phone. A lot of COCOTs, being
|
|
privately owned, are not registered as pay phones, but residential lines.
|
|
If the operator returns another code other than 88, the phone is a
|
|
residential or business phone, and will accept 3rd party and collect calls.
|
|
|
|
Now that I've found a residential COCOT, what can I do with it? Have
|
|
a friend wait by the phone. Go home, boot up your system and terminal
|
|
software, pick up your phone and dial 0+number of a board. Tell the operator
|
|
you'd like to place a third party call to the number on the COCOT. She'll
|
|
take the number, ring the phone, and your friend answers. "This is AT&T
|
|
operator 7434, I have a third party call from a Jon Doe, will you accept the
|
|
charges." "Jon? Of course, ma'am." "Thank You." Now just type ATDT on your
|
|
terminal, hang up the phone, and your modem connects to the board you're
|
|
calling, free of charge!!! Unless of course, your modem is a piece of shit,
|
|
in which case you have to dial through the modem and set a bunch of pauses so
|
|
it doesn't time out while ur talking to the op. I'm sure you can find many
|
|
wonderful uses for 3rd party and collect calls, if not, then you shouldn't
|
|
be reading text files to begin with.
|
|
|
|
That's it for this file. MYC Digest back issues can be found at
|
|
ftp.paranoia.com in the zines directory. MYC can be reached via email at

|
|
but a public mail box will be available within a few days. Why should
|
|
I call the MYC VMB, you ask? Well, you'll find a plethora of information
|
|
including bridges, backdoors, pbx #s, extenders, ani, links to other H/P
