"Loops I've Known and Loved"
|
||
|
||
No self-respecting Phone Phreak can go through life without knowing what a
|
||
loop is, how to use one, and the types that are available. The loop is a great
|
||
alternate communication medium that has many potential uses that haven't even
|
||
been tapped yet. In order to explain what a loop is, it would be helpful if
|
||
you would visualize two phone numbers (lines) just floating around in the Telco
|
||
central office. Now, if you ( and a friend perhaps) were to call these two
|
||
numbers at the same time, POOOOFFFF!!!, you are now connected together. I hear
|
||
what you're saying out there ..., "Big deal" or "Why should mother bell collect
|
||
two MSU's (message units) for one lousy phone call!?" Well ... think again.
|
||
Haven't you ever wanted someone to call you back, but were reluctant to give
|
||
out your home phone number (like the last time you tried to get your friends'
|
||
unlisted number from the business office)? Or how about a collect call to your
|
||
friend waiting on a loop, who will gladly accept the charges? Or better yet,
|
||
stumbling a loop that you discover has multi-user capability (for those
|
||
late-night conference). Best of all is finding a non- supervised loop that
|
||
doesn't charge any MSU's or tolls to one or both parties. Example: many moons
|
||
ago, a loop affectionately known as 'The 332 Loop' was non-sup on one 'side'.
|
||
I had my friend in California dial the free (non-sup) side, (212) 332 - 9906
|
||
and I dialed the side that charged, 332-9900. As you can see, I was charged
|
||
one MSU, and my friend was charged zilch, for as long as we wished to talk!!!
|
||
|
||
Ahhhh .... have I perked your intrest yet? If so, here is how to find a
|
||
loop of your very own. First, do all of your loop searching at NIGHT! This is
|
||
because the loops serve a genuine test function which Telco uses during the
|
||
day. (We don't want to run into an irate lineman now, do we?) To find a loop,
|
||
having two phone numbers is a definite plus. If not, get a friend to dial
|
||
numbers at his location. Last resort, try dialing from two adjacent pay
|
||
phones. Now, get your trusty white pages, and turn to the page where it lists
|
||
Metro NY exchanges and the number of MSU's from your exchange. The idea is to
|
||
get a loop that is only one MSU from your calling area so you don't go bankrupt
|
||
trying to find a working one. So write down in a list all of these exchanges.
|
||
The following are common loop endings (EXC stands for the exchange):
|
||
|
||
Manhatten and The Bronx ---------- EXC - 9977 & EXC - 9979
|
||
Brooklyn and Queens -------------- EXC - 9900 & EXC - 9906
|
||
|
||
Armed with the preceding info, dial the tone side of a loop. This would be
|
||
the 9906 or 9979 side. The best thing that could happen now is that you will
|
||
be able to hear yourself, or friend through the loop connection. Eureka,
|
||
you've found a loop!!! Unfortunately, this doesn't happen too often. Here are
|
||
the more common possibilites:
|
||
|
||
1. You can hear through the loop (not muted) but there is a 1/2 second click
|
||
every 10 seconds that interrupts the audio. Good for backup use, but the
|
||
%&%$%%! click is super annoying.
|
||
|
||
2. One side of the loop is busy; try it again later.
|
||
|
||
3. The tone disappears, but you cannot hear through it (the loop is muted,
|
||
try again in a month or so) .
|
||
|
||
4. You get "The number you have reached" recording. No more loop in that
|
||
exchange, go on to next.
|
||
|
||
Most loops fall into catagory #3, but they do become unmuted from time to
|
||
time. Once you have found a loop, its uses are only limited to your
|
||
imagination. If you discover any novel uses for loop lines, I am always
|
||
willing to learn, so leave them for me here on *MOM*.
|
||
|
||
Happy Looping,

The preceding article was duplicated from one posted on Modem Over Manhatten
|
||
(MOM). MOM is no longer in operation, however was one of the first bulletin
|
||
boards (after 8BBS) to support phreeking. The original author of this article
|
||
was the one and only Phred Phreek. Note that the comments at the end of the
|
||
article no longer apply, as this article was written in 1981, and Phred Phreek
|
||
has not been heard of since MOM went down.

||
=================================================================
|
||
|
||
HERE ARE SOME NEW LOOPS. ALL ARE IN THE 212 AREA. ON ANY GIVEN DAY OR NITE
|
||
SEVERAL MAY BE BUSY,(MORE OFTEN CASUAL USERS THAN TELCO PERSONNEL.) AND ON ANY
|
||
GIVEN DAY OR NITE SEVERAL MAY BE INOPERATIVE. IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHETHER TELCO
|
||
MAINTENANCE PERSONELL REMEMBER TO 'THROW THE KEY' WHEN THEYRE DONE LINE
|
||
TESTING. IF THEY REMEMBER TO TO TURN A LINE 'OFF', THEN IT'LL REMAIN OFF TILL
|
||
THE NEXT MAINTENANCE TECH. FORGETS TO TURN IT OFF AFTER USING IT. DO NOT
|
||
ASSUME THESE ARE FREE CALLS. UNLESS THE #'S ARE IN YOUR UNLESS THE #'S ARE IN
|
||
YOUR PRIMARY CALLING AREA,YOU ARE BILLED EITHER MSU'S OR TOLL UNITS DEPENDING
|
||
UPON DISTANCE. NEVERTHELESS LOOPS ARE LOTS OF FUN,AND YOU CAN OFTEN MEET NEW
|
||
PEOPLE ON THEM. ESPECIALLY LATE ON WEEKEND NITES. ALSO, LATE ON WEEKEND NITES
|
||
YOU WILL FIND SEVERAL OF THE LOOPS BEING USED BY AM, FM OR SHORTWAVE PIRATE
|
||
RADIO STATIONS FOR CALL IN LINES. MOST OF THESE STATIONS ARE IN THE N.Y.
|
||
AREA, BUT THE REMAINDER ARE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. 212 LOOPS REMAIN THE BEST
|
||
KNOWN IN THE PIRATE RADIO WORLD,AND SO ARE USED BY PIRATES EVERYWHERE. NOW.
|
||
..HERE GOES WITH THE LOOPS:
|
||
|
||
212-529-9900/9906 212-283-9977/9979 212-352-9900-9906 212-220-9977/9979
|
||
212-365-9977/9979 212-562-9977/9979 212-982-9977/9979 212-986-9977/9979
|
||
---------------------*
|
||
|
||
THE LOWER NUMBER IS THE ONE WITH THE SQUEAL. IT SQUEALS (SINGING SWITCH)
|
||
TILL SOMEONE DIALS THE OTHER NUMBER IN THE PAIR. THEN THE SQUEAL DIES AND
|
||
YOURE CONNECTED. NONE THE HIGHER NUMBER NEVER DOES SQUEAL, EVEN IF THE OTHER
|
||
PART OF THE PAIR IS UNUSED. SO YOU HAVE TO KINDA GUESS AT WHEN SOMEONE IS
|
||
SWITCHED IN AFTER DIALING. LISTEN FOR THE CLICKS,THATLL TELL YOU. THE 982 AND
|
||
986 #'S ARE KINDA WIERD. NORMALLY IF YOU PARK ON A LOOP, YOU WILL HEAR WHOEVER
|
||
CALLS THE OTHER HALF,AND WHEN THEYRE DONE,THE NEXT CALLER(IF ANY) WILL BE
|
||
QUEUED IN, ONE AFTER THE OTHER. NOW ON THE 982 AND 986, YOU SOMETIMES CANT GET
|
||
ANY MORE CALLERS AFTER THE FIRST. FURTHERMORE, IF YOU PARK ON THESE TWO LOOPS
|
||
AND THE OTHER END REMAINS UNCALLED FOR 4 MINUTES, YOU MAY BE AUTOMATICALLY
|
||
DISCONNECTED. YET THESE LOOPS ARE BETTER THAN NOTHING--ESP. ON WEEKENDS WHEN
|
||
ALL OTHER LOOPS ARE BUSY....... IF ANY OF YOU HAVE LOOPS IN OTHER AREA CODES,
|
||
PLEASE LEAVE THEM, EITHER IN BULL. OR LV. A MESSAGE FOR DARK PRIEST.
|
||
THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE, AND ENJOY YOUR LOOPS.

How to fight Sprint Security
|
||
|
||
Well friends, Sprint has declared war on the phone phreaks and is starting to
|
||
set traps, trace lines, and question the SYSOPs of BBS systems. I thank that
|
||
this has gone on long enough!!
|
||
|
||
It time we start to fight back. What I would suggest is that everybody find
|
||
five or ten access codes and put these on a flyer with a local access number
|
||
and instructions on how to use the system and how to find more codes. Next,
|
||
make a LARGE number of copies of this flyer and distribute them as widely as
|
||
possible. Put them on cars in the school parking lot, in the local phone
|
||
booths, on bulletin boards a round colleges, etc.
|
||
|
||
If Sprint starts experiencing a VERY large number of ripoffs then a number of
|
||
things could happen. The bright boy in security who decided to start the
|
||
crack-down may get fired, paying customers may get fed up with the huge bills,
|
||
SPC may make the codes longer and thus lose customers because of the
|
||
inconvenience of the longer codes. In any case, SPC will have so many people
|
||
using the system for free that the chances of them getting anyone of us is so
|
||
small as to be insignificant.
