Yes, you read this right, Public phone crashing. This is a trick that
|
||
works NOW on ESS not like those other philes you d/l and expect to find out all
|
||
this /<ool stuff, just to learn it only works on Crossbar. The only drawback is
|
||
that this trick only works on rotary or pulse phones - which are now becoming
|
||
somewhat rare with the conversion of the rotaries to touch tone. But this will
|
||
also work on pulses and rotaries in someone's home, so if ya have someone
|
||
ya really want to phuck over, this is the way to go.
|
||
|
||
Ok, there seems to be a little bug in the zero plus (0+) numbers handler
|
||
of ESS. (For those not familiar with zero plus numbers, they are numbers which
|
||
follow the format 0-NPA-prfx-xxxx.) Now, upon dialing a zero plus number, you
|
||
get a tone and the you can either dial 0 for assistance, or enter your calling
|
||
card number. (DON'T phuck with these!) Now if you don't enter a touch tone, the
|
||
operator will come on whether you like it or not. But.... yes, BUT, sometimes,
|
||
before you hear the tone which prompts for the calling card, you'll hear some
|
||
noise which lasts for only a second. When you get this, and if you're on a
|
||
pulse phone where you can't enter a 0 or the card number with touch tones, the
|
||
card promt tone will repeat itself every few seconds INDEFINITELY!!!!
|
||
|
||
NY Telco seems to be onto this bug since it's happening less and less
|
||
often, yet as of the printing of this phile it still does occur.
|
||
|
||
Another trick is for privately owned pay phones. Everyone knows (and
|
||
hates) that you have to pay for Directory Assistance. Now on a privately owned
|
||
pay phone, by dialing 0-NPA-555-1212, the assistance is free (remember zero
|
||
plus numbers are used in collect call handling) so in effect, the Directory
|
||
Assistance operator that answers gets charged for the call and the assistance
|
||
fee. So even if ya don't have a pay phone (don't ask me why ya should - some
|
||
stores do, though), phuck around with it on regular pay phonez, cuz it might
|
||
screw something up in the billing somewhere. The only drawback is that the
|
||
caller must be in the area he is calling DA for. For instance, the caller for
|
||
NYC must be calling DA for NPAs 718, 212 or 516 from one of those NPAs.
|
||
Remember, long distance Directory Assistance is, by nature, free.
