What is a diverter?
|
|
|
|
A diverter is an device that the phone company hooks up to a phone
|
|
|
|
line to re-route calls from a telephone thats rings and does'nt answer to
|
|
|
|
another phone that should be answered. It is similar to call forwarding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How Are Diverters Used?
|
|
|
|
Let's say you have a number that you know has a diverter on it.
|
|
|
|
When you call the number, first you will hear three or four rings, and then
|
|
|
|
a click, and fainter ringing. This is the diverter in action, re-routing
|
|
|
|
your call to the specified number. When the dude who has the diverter
|
|
|
|
answers, just say you have the wrong number or something, and wait for him
|
|
|
|
to hang up the phone. MAKE SURE YOU STAY ON THE LINE !!! You should then
|
|
|
|
hear a pause for a little, and then a dial tone fainter than your own one.
|
|
|
|
This dial tone is the dial tone of the diverted phone, and any call you make
|
|
|
|
will be charged to his bill!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How can I find Diverters?
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to find diverters are to whip out the good old yellow
|
|
|
|
pages and let your fingers do the walking until you find numbers for '24 hour'
|
|
|
|
plumbers, lawyers, doctors, or whatever. Most likely there is not someone on
|
|
|
|
call at the office, and all calls will be diverted to the person's home phone
|
|
|
|
number. If the doctor/lawyer/plumber has more than one phone line, call all
|
|
|
|
of them until you get one with a diverter on it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What Can I Use A Diverter For?
|
|
|
|
Diverters, if you find one with a local exchange, can be used like an
|
|
|
|
extender, except that you direct dial the call like you would on a normal
|
|
|
|
non-phreaked long distance phone call. Diverters can also be used for con-
|
|
|
|
ference calls, either through an AT&T operator or Alliance (0-700) con-
|
|
|
|
ferencing. If you really want to get malicious, use an AT&T Calling Card
|
|
|
|
on a diverter.
|
|
|
|
To get you started:
|
|
|
|
Yes, I am being a nice guy by giving you a few extenders to try out
|
|
|
|
and use so you can get the 'pheel' of how a diverter works. These numbers
|
|
|
|
are most likely not local calls to you so I suggest you use an extender to
|
|
|
|
dial them with. These were all working as of the date of the writing of this
|
|
|
|
file (July '85). Remember: Only call after business hours when the diverters
|
|
|
|
will be turned on, or else you will just get the office answering.
