INTRO:
|
|
|
|
This is an informational file telling you how people can make free
|
|
long distance calls. I am not here telling you to go out and do this, I'm
|
|
just informing you on how it happens.
|
|
|
|
The third party billing service is extremely easy to use and abuse.
|
|
There are no operators involved, so don't let that worry you. What the
|
|
service does, is allows you to call ANYWHERE and let John Doe in some other
|
|
state get charged for it. Pretty cool, huh?
|

|
|
|
However, there were a few things that, at least in this part of
|
|
the w3rld were wrong, and a few neat trix to be done with this
|
|
tek-nique.. so here g0es.
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOW TO:
|
|
|
|
The first thing you need to do is decide where you want to bill your
|
|
call to. I advise billing it to someone out of state. Remember, your number
|
|
will show up on their phone bill. If you bill it locally, the person you have
|
|
billed it to is more than likely going to call you and find out whats up. If
|
|
its out of state, they probably wont call because it will only make their bill
|
|
higher. Its easy for me to get numbers to bill it to, since I've moved around
|
|
the country. I still have copies of old phone books from when I lived in Ohio.
|
|
If you dont have a phone book, your going to have to call directory assistance
|
|
and get yourself a number. I advice getting a phone book from a certain area
|
|
where you want to focus your billing. The price of a phone book is alot
|
|
cheaper than the price of a long distance bill.
|
|
|
|
Once you get yourself the number, the rest is pretty easy. The first
|
|
thing you need to do is dial 1-0-ATT-0. An automated voice will answer,
|
|
saying "Please enter the area code and number of the place you wish to call."
|
|
You simply press 713-583-8318, or whomever your trying to call. Then it will
|
|
ask you "Please say Calling Card, Operator, Collect, Third Number, or Person
|
|
to Person now." You say 'Third Number'. It will then ask you for the number
|
|
you wish to bill the call to. You press 216-773-7317, or whatever number you
|
|
want to bill it to. You'll get the infamous "Thank you for (ab)using AT&T."
|
|
and you'll be on your way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DATA CONNECTIONS:
|
|
|
|
If you wanna use your modem to call long distance, you pretty much do
|
|
the same thing. When AT&T dials the number you wish to call, and you hear the
|
|
other persons modem start to connect, type ATD in your terminal and hang up
|
|
your phone. The modem handshake will sound a little messed up but eventually
|
|
it will give you a good connect.
|
|
|
|
PROBLEMS:
|
|
|
|
You should not encounter any real problems from this. My data line
|
|
has been the victim of a third party billing before. I didnt bother checking
|
|
the numbers on the bill, I just called the phone company and told them to take
|
|
it off my bill. The worst thing that can happen to you is that you are forced
|
|
to pay for the calls. And thats not a common scenario. It occurs too much
|
|
for the phone company to track down all the people doing it.
|
|
|
|
I hope you find this file useful. Believe me, it DOES work, because
|
|
I use it all the time. Oh, and something I may have forgot above, rotate the
|
|
numbers your charging to. Dont charge all your calls to one number, or it
|
|
will increase the chance that you will get charged.
|
|
