SOME TONES, A PAD WOULD HELP...AND SOME POWER...OK...



  FIRST OF ALL...YOU NEED A NUMBER TO BLOW OFF(WISTLE 2600 HTZ OR USE YOUR TSPS

PROGRAM...IF YOU DONT HAVE IT YOU BEST WRITE ME IMMEADIATELY...I WILL GIVE IT

TO YOU...OK A GOOD # TO DO YOUR LITTLE TONE ON IS 1-514-555-1212...CANADA

INFORMATION...OR IF YOU GET A GOOD LINE 1-800-858-9000...I LIKE THAT # ITS A

LOT OF PHUN...YOU CAN USE IT AS A WATTS LINE TO MAKE CALLS AND YOUR BLUE BOX

ORIGINATOR!...WELL, I REMEMBER SOMEONE POSTING IT BUT NO CODE...HMM TRY 151

WHEN YOU HEAR THE TONE...THEN 1+#(THIS IS TO MAKE IT DIAL TONES INSTEAD OF

ROTARY....SO 1+#+A/C+THE #...  NOW BACK TO BOXING...YOU WILL DO YOUR 2600 HTZ

AND THEN IF YOU DID IT RIGHT, YOU WILL IT DO A 2600, THEN CLUNK-CLUNK(THE 2

CLUNKS ARE THE "KICK BACK" I LOVE TO SEE SOME ASSHOLE SAY:  "THE TONE IS

DETECTED" IT IS THE KICKBACK THAT IS DETECTED...NOW, YOU ARE ON A TRUNK LINE

WHICH OPERATORS USE TO MAKE THEIR CALLS(THE LITTLE BITCHES GET TO CALL FOR

FREE!)NOW...YOU HAVE ALL BUT 10 TO 15 SECS TO STIMULATE IT WITH YOUR

MF(MULTI-FREQUENCY) TONES...IF YOU DO NOT THE LINE WILL TELL YOU TO GO SCREW

YOURSELF...(YOU KNOW, I FIND TRUNK LINES EASIER TO STIMULATE THAN GIRLS!...OH,

WELL...)NOW YOU ALWAYS DIAL 'KP' (KEYPULSE...THIS TONE TELLS THE LINE THAT YOU

ARE GONNA SCREW MA BELL AND IT WAITS FOR YOU NEXT SHIT LOAD OF #'S...)OK...NOW

OPERATOR LINES ARE **NOTHING** LIKE THE CRAP BELL GIVES US...OPERATORS CAN DIAL

#'S WHICH WE WOULDN'T DREAM OF DIALING...LIKE THE BELL TELE-CONFRENCING...  YOU

THEN PROCEED TO DIAL OUT YOUR #...I WILL TELL YOU HOW TO DO THIS IN THE NEXT


MESSAGE...NOW...I DONT ADVISE DOING TRANSFERS OR CALLS TO SECURITY LAND (C)

(HAHA) OR ANY BOARDS...SEE, YOU ARE STILL GOING THROUGH INFORMATION IN CANADA

AND IT MIGHT LOOK KINDA FUNNY THAT YOU HAD A 1 1/2 HR.	TALK WITH

INFORMATION...	MAYBE YOU DID!I DOUBT IT...OK IF YOU SCREW THE # YOU WANT TO

DIAL UP...JUST DO ANOTHER 2600 AND YOU WILL BE PUT ON THE TRUNK AGAIN...(HMMM A

REUSABLE LINEI KNOW SOME GIRLS LIKE THAT) WELL ANYWAY AFTER YOU DIAL THE # YOU

WANT *ALWAYS* END ANY # YOU EVER DIAL WITH 'S'(START...THIS TELLS THE LINE TO

MOVE ITS ASS AND DIAL)...WELL THAT IS THE OUTLINE OF BLUE BOXING...WELL I HAVE

SOME MORE ROOM...OK...DIFFERENT THINGS...





  OK...THE THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH A BOX ARE NOT LIMITED YET I DONT ADVISE USING

A BOX AT ALL...THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO AFTER GETTING ON A

TRUNK AND YOU DIAL KP...OH, SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT ROUTING CODES...YA SEE TRUNKS

ARE DUMB AND YOU MUST TELL IT HOW TO MAKE A CALL...YOU JUST DONT DIAL

KP213-556-3654S...YOU HAVE TO TELL IT HOW...AFTER GETTING ON A TRUNK LINE DIAL

KP009S...IF YOUR CALL GOES THROUGH...HIT(IN NORMAL T TONES)AN AREA CODE AND AN

EXCHANGE WHICH YOU WOULD LIKE TO CALL...IT WILL TELL YOU SOMETHING LIKE THIS...

CHECK NINE 213+954+...THIS MEANS THAT ALL THE PAY PHONES IN THIS AREA HAVE A

NINE IN THE #(I DONT KNOW WHERE) THE REASON SHE SAYS THAT IS BECAUSE IF A

PERSON CALLS AN OPERATOR AND TRIES TO MAKE A COLLECT CALL TO A PAY PHONE, SHE

ILL DIAL KP009S AND SEE THAT THE # IS A PAYPHONE AND WILL NOW ALLOW THE SHIT...

YOU DONT CARE ABOUT THIS...YOU WANT THE 213+954+(OR WHATEVER)THIS IS THE WAY TO

DIAL YOUR DESIRED #(THIS IS GETTING VERY CONFUSING) THE 213 IS THE AREA CODE


AND 954 IS THE ROUTING CODE...LETS ASSUME THAT WE WANT TO CALL THIS BOARD AND

LETS ASSUME THAT 954 IS THE ROUTING CODE...YOU WOULD HAVE TO DIAL

"KP213-954-556-3654S" THEN IT SHOULD WORK...MOST #S DONT HAVE ROUTING CODES...

YOU JUST HAVE TO DIAL KP213-556-3654S AND IT WILL WORK...ALWAYS CHECK THE

ROUTING CODE BEFORE DIALING A #...ALOT OF THE TIME YOU KP009S WILL NOT GO

THROUGH...SO DIAL THIS...  314-535-7390...THIS IS THE SAME AS DIALING KP009S

BUT THROUGH BELL AND YOU ARE USING TOUCH TONES...IT WILL ANSWER AND YOU HIT #

TO SEE IF ITS OK...IF IT SAYS (IN A QUEER VOICE(PROBABLY CALIFORNIAN HAHA))

REDIAL REDIAL...YOU ARE OK...  NOW HIT THE AREA CODE AND EXCHANGE AND IT WILL

TELL YOU THE ROUTING CODE...  AND LETS ASSUME ARE OLD EXAMPLE "CHECK NINE

213+954+(AFTER THE LAST +GOES THE 7 DIGIT #...I HAVE TO CHECK ON

IT...)ANYWAY...TRY ALL THIS...I AM NOT THE BEST PERSON AT EXPLAINING THINGS

LIKE THIS WHEN IT COMES TO TYPING...IT IS EASIER TO EXLAIN IT(VOICE)...I KNOW

THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT YOU ARE UNCLEAR ON.  POST ALL INQURIES(SP?) ON

THE BOARD AND I WILL ANSWER THEM IMMEADIATELY...IT IS MUCH EASIER FOR ME THIS

WAY...	OK...WELL AFTER I SEE THAT YOU ALL UNDERSTAND THIS I WILL POST SOME

NICE BLUE BOX NUMBERS...ALSO...ABOUT ESS...IT IS DUMB TO EXPLAIN WHY BUT JUST

LISTEN DO NOT TRY TO UNDERSTAND..YOU CANT BOX ON ESS...YOU WILL BE NAILED...I

KNOW SOME IDIOTS THAT HAVE DONE IT AND THEY ARE NOT CAUGHT YET...IT TAKES

TIME...DO NOT THINK YOU ARE SO SMART...I AM ON ESS...I BOX WITH A FRIEND WHO IS

ON CBAR 5...  HE IS SAFE(NOT ENTIRELY...NO ONE IS ABSOLUTELY SAFE)...ESS *HAS*

ITS ADVANTAGES BUT BOXING IS NOT ONE OF THEM...  WELL, I HAVE A LOT TO

OFFER...LETS SEE HOW YOU LIKE THIS BUNCH OF WORDS...I HAVE A LOT TO TELL

YOU...JUST HOPE YOU APPRECIATE IT...WELL, I AM TIRED OF TYPING AND I WANT YOU


ALL TO READ THIS...HAVE FUN AND PHREAK FOREVER



  A LITTLE MISTAKE...WHEN YOU DIAL THE ROUTING #(THAT 314 NUMBER OR KP009S) THE

213+954+ IS HOW YOU WOULD REACH THE OPERATOR IN THAT AREA...TO MAKE A CALL WITH

A BOX, JUST DIAL KP+THE AREA CODE AND THE #+START...IF YOU CANT GET THROUGH,

AND YOU WANT TO DIAL THE OPERATOR THEN YOU GO LIKE THIS...LETS SAY YOU WANT THE

OPERATOR IN THE 213 AREA IN THE 556 EXCHANGE...*THEN* YOU WOULD DIAL

213+954(954 IS NOT THE ROUTING CODE...IT IS JUST HYPOTHETICAL) AND THEN TO DIAL

AN OPERATOR ADD 121...SO IT LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE THIS:	KP213-954-121-S...OR

LETS SAY YOU WANTED TO CALL AN ELITE CITY LIKE NY(NY IS THE BEST PLACE IN THE

WORLD!)YOU WOULD DIAL...KP212-121S...YOU WOULD ONLY WANT TO DIAL AN OPERATOR

FOR EMEREGENCY BREAKTHROUGHS OR VERIFICATION OF A # OR WHATEVER...OR IF YOU

CANT REACH YOUR DESIRED # YOURSELF...ITS A LOT OF FUN WHEN YOU DIAL 121 TO GET

AN OPERATOR BECAUSE SHE WILL ANSWER:  HELLO OPERATOR...THAT MAKES ME FEEL REAL

GOOD...AND ONE THING...SOUND OFFICIAL IF THERE IS ONE THING THAT LOOKS BAD IS

WHEN YOU SAY:  "UH UMMM WELL I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AAA AN EMERGENCY BREAKTHROUGH

DUHH ON 213-556-3654..." WHEN YOU SPEAK TOO OPERATOR, SOUND OFFICIAL...*NEVER*

SAY THE A/C BECAUSE IF YOU WANT TO BREAK THROUGH A # IN THE 213 AREA, YOU WOULD

CALL THE 213 OPERATOR.	JUST GIVE THE 7 DIGIT #...REMEMBER YOU DIAL THE AREA

CODE+ROUTING CODE(IF ANY) AND THEN 121...THIS IS THE CORRECT THING TO SAY:

OPERATOR:MAY I HELP YOU OPERATOR?  YOU:YES I WOULD LIKE AN EMERGENCY ON

5563654(SAY IT SLOW BECAUSE OPERATORS ARE VERY VERY SLOW...THEN YOU WILL HEAR

HER DIAL...THAT IS ALL.




AFTER USING THE BLUE BOX FOR SOME TIEM, I HAVE LEARND OF IT'S USEFULNESS.

LET US SAY THAT YOU WANT TO FIND AN UNPUBLISHED PHONE UMBER.  THE NORMAL WAY IS

TO GO THROUGH A THING CALL "EMERGENCY UNPLUBISHED" IF YOU WANT TO FIND A NUMBER

AND KEEP YOUR IDENITY A SECRET, USE YOUR BOX TO DIAL KP131S.  WHEN THE OPERATOR

ANSWERS, ASK FOR THE SUPERVISIOR.  THEN TELL HIM THAT YOU ARE AN OPERATOR FROM

THE 514 AREA CODE (OR WHAT EVER AREA YOU BLEW 2600 FROM) AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO

REACH EMERGENCY UNPUB.	THE SUPERVISOR WILL CALL HIS SUPERVISOR (NOW WE ARE

GETTING CLSE TO GOD), AND THEY WILL TRACE THE LINE BACK TO VERIFY THAT YOU ARE

AN OPERATOR.  DON'T GET WORRIED.  THEY CAN'T TELL WHERE YOU ARE CALLING FROM.

ONLY THAT YOU ARE ON THE 514 TRUNK.  THEY WILL GIVE YOU THE NUMBER AND YOU WILL

BLOW THEM OFF WITH 2600.  DON'T JUST HANG UP.  SAY "THANK YOU OPERATOR." IF YOU

ARE RUDE, THEY WILL BECOME SUSPISOUS.  ALSO, THERE IS A 4 DIGIT VERIFYCATION

CODE THAT WILL ALOW YOU TO TAP LINES.  I USED TO HAVE ONE, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM

TO WORK ANYMORE.  TRY HACKING IT.

				BLUE BOXING

			       [===========]





  THIS IS THE TONE MATRIX FOR A BOX WHICH GENERATES TONES THAT OPERATORS USE TO

DIAL..ROTARY WORKS AS WELL, ON OPERATOR LINES, BUT THIS IS TECHNOLOGICAL(!).

NOW I AGREE WITH THE OPINION OF A WELL KNOWN PHREAK THAT 'BOXING' IS/WILL BE FOR

THE MOST PART DEAD, BUT THIS IS TRADITION...  FIRST,YOU DIAL DIR.ASST, OR AN

OPER.  ETC , THEN YOU BLAST THE LINE WITH A 2600HZ TONE.  THIS GIVES YOU THE

LINE, THIS IS ALSO HOW MA BELL TRACKS DOWN BLUE BOXERS...  THERE ARE 2600HZ

DETECTORS SY STEMS, AND EVEN ON OLD #4 CROSSBARS...  ONCE ON A OPER.TRUNK LINE,

YOU USE YOUR BLUE BOX/ROTARY TDO DIAL...



  SO, IF YOU USE 2600HZ, WHICH IS NECESSARY, UNLESS YOU ARE *VERY* CAREFUL, YOU

  WILL BE SNAGGED.



  FINALLY, THIS IS WHAT YOU READ!  SO LONG AND HARD FOR:



700   :   1   :   2   :   4 :	7   :  11   :

900   :   +   :   3   :   5 :	8   :  12   :

1100  :   +   :   +   :   6 :	9   :  KP   :


1300  :   +   :   +   :   + :  10   :  KP2  :

1500  :   +   :   +   :   + :	+   :  ST   :

      :  900  : 1100  : 1300 : 1500 : 1700  :



  USE KP TO START A CALL, AND ST TO STOP, WITH THE BELOVED 2600HZ TONE TO

DISCONNECT.  I ALSO HEAR THAT 2600HZ RESETS SPRINT NODES AND GIVES YOU THEIR

INITIAL TONE..



  NOW, IF YOU'RE WONDERING ABOUT WHAT TO CALL FROM AN OPERATOR TRUNK, HERE ARE

SOME GOODIES TO HELP YOU OUT:



XXX+101 - TOLL	SWITCHING

XXX+121 - LOCAL OPERATOR

XXX+131 - INFORMATION

XXX+141 - RATE & ROUTE

XXX+181 - COIN REFUND OPERATOR

XXX+11501 - MOBILE OPERATOR

XXX+11521 - MOBILE OPERATOR

XXX+11511 - CONFERENCE OPERATOR





---CONCERNING ABOVE






FIRST THE TONES.  WHILE ALL THE INFORMATION IS CORRECT, THE TIMING SPECS WERE

NOT INCLUDED .	THE TONE PAIRS ARE TO REMAIN ON FOR 1/10 SEC.  WITH 1/10 SEC.

OF SLIENCE BETWEEN DIGITS.  THE 'KP' TONES SHOULD BE SENT FOR 2/10 SEC.  A WAY

TO DEFEAT THE 2600HZ TRAPS IS TO SEND ALONG WITH THE 2600HZ SOME PINK NOISE(MOST

OF THE ENERGY IN THIS SIGNAL SHOULD BE ABOVE 3000HZ, THIS SIGNAL WON'T MAKE IT

OVER THE TOLL NETWORK, BUT SHOULD CARRY AS FAR AS YOUR LOCAL TOLL CENTER SO THAT

THE TRAPS WON'T FIND 'PURE' 2600HZ ON THE TRUNK.  THIS IS NOT A PERFECTLY SAFE

WAY TO BOX, BUT IT SHOULD SLOW DOWN THE DISCOVERY.



  AS TO USE, THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THERE ARE TWO(2)

TYPES OF TOLL COMPLETING TRUNKS:  INWARD AND OUTWARD.  THE NAMES ARE REFERENCE

TO THE OFFICE THAT IS SWITCHING THE CALL(THE TOLL CENTER THAT SERVES THE WATS

LINE YOU CALLED) AND EACH TYPE OF TRUNK HAS A DIFFERENT CLASS OF SERVICE.  FROM

AN INWARD TOLL COMPLETING TRUNK, YOU CAN REACH THE DIFFERENT SERVICE OPERATORS,

THE TOLL TEST BOARD, AND THE INWARD OPERATOR.  SOME OFFICES ALSO ALLOW REMOTE

TESTING AND IT IS IN THESE OFFICES THAT YOU CAN ACCESS THE OUTWARD TOLL

COMPLETING TRUNKS.  THE OUT WARD TRUNKS ALLOW YOU TO MAKE

VERIFICATION(EMERGENCY) CALLS, DO SERVICE MONITORING(TAPPING), STACK TRUNKS(BUSY

OUT ALL TRUNKS BETWEEN LA AND NYC), ENABLE AND DISABLE TSPS POSITIONS, AN D IN

SOME CASES(ON SOME 4A'S) ISSUE TEMPORARY REROUTING INSTRUCTIONS( SEND ALL CALLS

FROM LA TO NYC VIA MIAMI, BOSTON, OR ANY OTHER CLASS 5 OFFICE OR OFFICES).  BOTH

TYPE OF TRUNKS ALLOW YOU TO PLACE A 'STANDARD' CALL WITH A BOX.



  IN SOME OFFICES, MOSTLY THE SMALL ONES WITH A TOLL TEST BOARD THAT IS


UNATTENDED AT NIGHT AND ON WEEKENDS, YOU CAN GET AN OUTWARD TOLL COMPLETING

TRUNK AS WELL AS PERFORMING OTHER TEST AND ROUTING FUNCTIONS.  YOU DO THIS BY

USING THREE DIGIT CODES THAT ARE INVALID EXCHANGES(NOT OF THE PATTERN NNX[SEE

NOTE 1]).  DURING THE SIXITES THE CODES USED WERE FAIRLY STANDARD AND

CONSISTENT, HOWEVER WHEN THE BOXES BECAME POPULAR AND THE PHREAKS STARTED DOING

THINGS LIKE ROUTING ALL CALLS FROM DALLAS TO FT.  WORTH VIA WASHINGTON D.C.

MOTHER STARTED CHANGING THE TEST CODES ON A RANDOM(AS FAR AS I KNOW ) BASIS.

WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IS THAT EVERYBODY INTERESTED IN DOING THIS SORT OF THING

PICK OUT A NICE QUIET LITTLE OFFICE SOMEWHERE AND WORK ON DISCOVERING THE CODES

ACCEPTABLE TO THAT OFFICE.



  EACH NUMBERING PLAN AREA (NPA, ALSO KNOWN AS AREA CODE) HAS AN OFFICE

DESIIGNATED AS ITS MASTER OFFICE.  THIS OFFICE CONT ROLS ALL OF THE OTHER TOLL

OFFICES IN THE AREA AS WELL AS SERVING AS A CONCENTRATION POINT FOR MOST OUT OF

AREA CALLS.  TO ACCESS THE SERVICES OF A NON-MASTER OFFICE YOU NEED IT'S 'CITY

CODE', THIS IS A THREE(3) DIGIT CODE THAT IS OF THE FORM 0XX, AND IS SENT AFTER

THE AREA CODE[SEE NOTE 2 ].  AS AN EXAMPLE, THE 'CITY CODE' FOR CANTON, OHIO IS

042; TH US TO REACH THE INWARD OPERATOR IN CANTON, YOU WOULD SEND 'KP-216

-042-121-ST' WHERE AS IF YOU WANTED THE INWARD OPERATOR IN CLEVELA ND, YOU WOULD

SEND 'KP-216-121- ST'.  THE REASON THIS IS NECESSARY IS THAT THE OPERATOR IN

CLEVELAND CAN'T VERIFY A NUMBER IN CANTON, SO IF YOU WANT TO VERIFY SOMEONE IN

CANTON YOU NEED THE CITY CO DE.  ALSO, MOST AREA MASTER OFFICES HAVE DEDICATED

DATA TRUNKS TO THE NETWORK CONTROL CENTER AND THUS DON'T ACCEPT TEST AND

REROUTING COMMANDS OVER THE SWITCHED NETWORK.

 
                                             


  IN CONCLUSION, THE SWITCHING NETWORK WILL DO A LOT MORE FOR YOU THEN CONNECT

YOU TO PEOPLE AND THE SMALL OFFICES THAT REQUIRE A 'CITY CODE' ARE THE TYPE OF

OFFICE TO TRY TO BREAK.





  NOTE 1:  THE NORMAL FORMAT FOR TELEPHONE NUMBERS IS AS FOLLOWS:  NYN/NNX-XXXX.

WHERE N=ANY DIGIT EXCE PT 1 AND 0; Y=0 OR 1 , AND X=ANY DIGIT.	YES I KNOW THAT

IN SOME AREA CODES THE NNX FORMAT HAS CHANGED TO NXX.  THIS IS A NEW OCCURRENCE

AND ONLY OCCUR WHERE THERE HAS BE AN OUTRAGEOUS POPULATION INCREASE IN THE LAST

FEW YEARS AND ALL OF THE FUNNY EXCHANGES ARE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO MASTER

OFFICES AND THUS DON'T CONFLICT WITH THE 'CITY CODE' FORMAT.



  NOTE 2:  YOU CAN OBTAIN THE 'CITY CODE' FOR A NUMBER BY CALLING RATE AND ROUTE

AND ASKING FOR THE 'NUMBERS ROUTE' TO NYN/NNX(I.E.  914/725).  OR IF YOU LEAVE

ME A MESSAGE WITH THE AREA CODE AND FIRST THREE OF A NUMBER, I WILL GET YOU THE

'CITY CODE'.
