THE JOY OF "BOXING"
|
||
BY THE DRAGYN
|
||
|
||
I AM WRITTING 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 DROP PING 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 NOWDAYS, BOXING IS MUCH MORE RISKIER THAN 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 PARTIES NAME
|
||
IS PETER (OR SOME DUMP 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 I T WON'T BE BUSY.
|
||
IF IT IS OUT OF ORDER SHE MAY SAY IT IS ODD 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.
|
||
|
||
AGAIN, REMEMBER THAT WHENEVER YOU TALK TO ONE OF THE OPERATORS, THEY
|
||
HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHETHER YOU ARE A REAL OPERATOR OR NOT SO GIVE
|
||
THEM HELL AND DON'T BE SCARED! I GUESS THAT THIS IS ALL FOR NOW, BUT
|
||
IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION, LEAVE E-MAIL BUT NO RUGGIES
|
||
PLEASE.
