So, you have an enemy who talks behind your back, eh? Or, maybe you just
|
||
would like to "listen" in on your friend's conversations? Well, if you have 2
|
||
phone lines and call waiting on one of them, you are in luck. (Only one
|
||
problem: your friend must also have call waiting!)
|
||
|
||
|
||
Procedure:
|
||
|
||
[1] Call up your friend with the phone you want to listen with. When he
|
||
answers call waiting (he's already on the phone, and you are the 2nd
|
||
caller), then you either sit there or say: sorry, I have the wrong #.
|
||
[2] Next, you wait until he goes back to the other line (puts you on hold).
|
||
[3] Then, pick up your other line and call ->YOUR<- call waiting.
|
||
[4] Answer call waiting
|
||
[5] Then go back to him. (Answer, and then click back.. Click ->2<- times
|
||
Answer, and go back..)
|
||
[6] Hang up your second line
|
||
[7] You are now on the line!
|
||
[8] Listen and be Q U I E T ! He can hear you!
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Techniques I use to prevent noise or confusion:
|
||
|
||
If you have call forwarding, turn it on and forward calls somewhere before you
|
||
start listening. If a call comes through on your call waiting circuit, the
|
||
people talking (your buddie and his pal) will not hear anything, but after you
|
||
answer call waiting and come back, they will hear the other call hang up (two
|
||
clicks). If you don't have call forwarding, I suggest you get it if you are
|
||
going to make a habit of this, because it will become a major pain in the ass.
|
||
When your call waiting rings, you are removed from the "listening" conversation
|
||
and placed back on his hold circuit. In order to get back on, you must answer
|
||
the phone and wait for your party (when you answer the phone, tell the guy you
|
||
are in a hurry and you have to go or you'll call him back later or something) to
|
||
hang up. When he or she hangs up, you will be back on the conversation. Then,
|
||
one of your pals will say: What was that? (because of the clicks).. So, try
|
||
to use call forwarding if you can. Remember: Have fun, and don't abuse it. I
|
||
am not sure about it, because I just discovered it. It is illegal (what isn't
|
||
these days) because it is "invading privacy". I don't know if the phone company
|
||
just did not realize there was a flaw in it, or that was planned for line
|
||
testing, I am not sure. Have fun!
