Using Tones
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
When you call 175 on your phone a nice recorded message will inform you of
|
|
the number you called from. Then it will say "Start Test" and repeat what its
|
|
just said. The line will die so put the phone down and in 15 seconds it will
|
|
reconnect the phone and after 25 seconds it will call you back, not the usual
|
|
ringing, it will ring 3 times then return to the normal ringing ... If you
|
|
held the phone up when it calls you back it will say "Earth B" twice. If you
|
|
had the phone down it should say "Line testing Ok". You can leave the phone
|
|
down without answering it for up to 2 minutes and 15 seconds, after that it
|
|
will timeout and return your line to normal service (it may also notify an
|
|
engineer that the line is fucked so be carefull). Now it will say "Dial next
|
|
test" ... It will now give you some bleeps, dial "1" it will say "Start test"
|
|
then dial in order "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,*,0,#" and if they sound ok to the
|
|
exchange it will say "Dial testing ok" twice then "Dial next test". Now "2" is
|
|
invalid so dial "3" ... "Start test" then some fast bleeps ... Nothing works
|
|
from here as its a payfone test (Mmmm, must try something out). It will come
|
|
back to you and say "Incorrect coin pulsing" then the usual "Dial next test".
|
|
"4" gives off "Sorry, not avalible on your line" and the rest of them
|
|
"5,6,7,8,9,*,0,#" are all invalid options.
|
|
|
|
Using Pulses
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Using pulses instead is fine because it regonizes them ! For the dial test
|
|
just dial "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0" dont press with "#" or "*" as they turn your
|
|
phone (when in pulse mode) into tone mode for the duration of the call ...
|
|
|
|
Uses ?!?!?!?!?
|
|
--------------
|
|
When your parents are skinflints like mine and they dont like you calling out
|
|
and stuff ... Dial 175 then hangup and go talk to your parents about something
|
|
give yourself 25 seconds to get from the phone to a parent and when the phone
|
|
goes off walk over to it and pick it up, say "Yeah, just a minute I'll get you
|
|
on the other phone, dont hang up ..." put the phone down and goto your room
|
|
and call who ever you want,it doesnt make it free but will keep you safe until
|
|
your itemised bill comes in ...
|
|
|
|
Thats all really ... I dunno if 175 is free but I guess it would be as its a
|
|
test line, no wait British Telecom are such buttheads they probably chanrge
|
|
48p per minute for their engineers to check your line ! <g> ... Nah my guess
|
|
is its free ...
|
|
|
|
One last point, unlike some other British Telecom services, you cannot access
|
|
service #175 by dialing (0800)-800-175, this number is unassigned at present.
|
|
|
|
Anyway happy phreaking, and remember ... A phone system is just a computer
|
|
waiting to be explored ... L8r.
