The Joys of Boxing
|
||
I am writing this article to inform those of you that have a box and are
|
||
getting bored with nothing to do or if you just aren't quite sure what you are
|
||
doing when you play around with MF tones. First of all, when you blast out the
|
||
2600hz tone, you are dropping a trunk and essentially, you become your own
|
||
operator. When you place a long distance phone call, a computer usually does
|
||
the mf tones for you and you don't hear them. In this article, I will deal
|
||
with international calling, conferencing, emergency-break throughs and just
|
||
having fun with the box. But now days, boxing is m} it was back 10-15 years
|
||
ago, so if you aren't cautious or you live on a modern ESS, than you might just
|
||
get caught (but if you're not 18 yet then big deal! Go rag the hell out of Ma
|
||
Bell!)
|
||
|
||
Have you ever wanted to call overseas and talk to someone in another
|
||
country? Or are you just bored of Metrofone or MCI? Then try this: When you
|
||
place an international call, it is routed through the closest or closest unbusy
|
||
international link. You can find these links by going KP-213-182-ST. This is
|
||
the Los Angles link. Most major cities have them by the coast like New York
|
||
KP-212-182-ST and even Denver KP-303-182-ST. When you call one of these links,
|
||
you will get a tone, sometimes not, and then you have about 10 seconds to enter
|
||
the number you are dialing in MF tones. If you make a mistake, it will tell
|
||
you. The normal format for making a call would be: KP-212-182-ST (wait for
|
||
tone) KP-(country code)-(phone number in country) -ST then wait for the call to
|
||
go through.
|
||
|
||
There two ways to do conference calls. One is to MF up KP-213-080-1050-
|
||
ST. This gives you Aliance tele-conferencing in Los Angles. The way this one
|
||
works is you enter KP-2130801050-ST wait till you hear it drop twice then you
|
||
enter another number that the call is going to be billed to (usually some- one
|
||
that you don't like). This one is totally computer controlled and you just
|
||
enter the info needed by a normal touch tone pad. The other way for
|
||
conferencing is to mf up your local or not so local conference operator. To do
|
||
this just drop a trunk then go KP-(area code)-11511-ST and the lady will answer
|
||
"conference operator, can I help you?" Now if you wanted to hook just 1-10
|
||
people together you give her the ph#s and she will dial them up and put
|
||
everyone on together, meanwhile, she thinks you are the operator setting it up
|
||
for someone else. One note, whenever you are dialing in mf tones and get an
|
||
operator, they have no idea that you are boxing, they just think you are an
|
||
operator from somewhere out of town. So don't be scared, give those operators
|
||
hell! In fact, if you can find a good operator, they will even tell you how to
|
||
do things.
|
||
|
||
Now don't you all hate a busy signal? Ever try to get to someone and the
|
||
line was busy? Well, don't fret anymore! Let's say that the phone number
|
||
612-874-8700 was busy and you wanted to get through. First you would drop your
|
||
trunk then go KP-612-121-ST. This will give you a local operator in the 612
|
||
area code. When she answers (she thinks you are an operator from some- where
|
||
else calling) you say "emergency interruption on area code 612-874-8700 and the
|
||
party's name is Peter (or some dumb name)" Since trunk verification cannot be
|
||
done by outside toll switching systems, you cannot do these by boxing and you
|
||
have to let the operator do them for you. Again, she has no way of knowing
|
||
that you aren't an operator when you call her unless you are 12 years old and
|
||
sound like a sniveling little wimp. After the operator has cleared the line,
|
||
you can dial it and it won't be busy. If it is out of order she may say it is
|
||
OD or off the hook.
|
||
|
||
Now let's say you just want to make an ordinarily phone call or call an 800
|
||
ph#. After you drop your trunk, just do this KP-(area code)-(ph#)-ST, and
|
||
notice that no '1' is needed.
|
||
|
||
Now, what if you have a friend with a phone in his car? Well, you just MF
|
||
up the mobile operator by going KP-(area code)-11521-ST. And if you would like
|
||
to test out some Bell calling card numbers, the number is KP-(AREA
|
||
CODE)-11611-ST or jupst plain KP-11611-ST if the city that you dropped the line
|
||
in has a local Bellcard computer. Have phun boxing, but don't get busted!
