Clear Box Plans
|
|
|
|
|
|
The clear box is a new device which has just been invented that can be used
|
|
throughout Canada and rural United States. The clear box works on "PostPay"
|
|
payphones (fortress fones). Those are the payphones that dont require payment
|
|
until after the connection is established. You pick up the fone, get
|
|
a dial tone, dial your number, and then insert your money after the person
|
|
answers.If you dont deposit the money then you can not speak to the person on
|
|
the other end- because your mouth peice is cut off, but, not the ear piece.
|
|
(obviously these phones are nice for free calls to weather or time or
|
|
other such recordings).All you must do is to go to your nearby Radio Shack, or
|
|
electronics store,and get a four-transistor amplifier and a
|
|
telephone suction cup induction pick-up. The induction pick-up would be
|
|
hooked up as it normally would to record a conversation, except that it
|
|
would be plugged into the out-
|
|
put of the amplifier and a microphone would be hooked to the input. So when
|
|
the party that is being called answers, the caller could speak through the
|
|
little microphone instead. His voice then goes through the amplifier and out
|
|
the induction coil, and into the back of the reciever where it would then be
|
|
broadcast through the phone lines and the other party would be able to hear
|
|
the caller. The Clear Box thus 'clears up' the problem of not being heard.
|
|
Luckily, the line will not be cut-off after a certain amount of time because
|
|
it will wait forever for the coins to be put in.The biggest advantage for all
|
|
of us about this new clear box is the
|
|
fact that this type of payphone will most likely become very common.
|
|
Due to a few things: 1st, it is a cheap way of getting the DTF,dial-tone-first
|
|
service, 2nd, it doesnt require any special equipment, (for the phone
|
|
company)This payphone will work on any phone line. Ususally a payphone line is
|
|
different, but this is a regular phone line and it is set up so the phone
|
|
does all the charging, not the company. |
