How to
|
||
Build a SILVER BOX
|
||
=======================================
|
||
ATTENTION:
|
||
BE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO SOLDER! THIS
|
||
COULD PERMENANTLY DAMAGE YOUR PHONE!!!
|
||
READ EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!
|
||
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
|
||
Ingreadients:
|
||
1 Blue wire about 1 foot.
|
||
1 Gray wire about 1 foot.
|
||
1 Brown wire about 1 foot.
|
||
(Better to overkill....)
|
||
1 Single pole/Double throw
|
||
(SPDT) switch. (Smallest
|
||
you can find.)
|
||
1 Standard bell phone.
|
||
|
||
Tools:
|
||
1 Soldering Iron and Solder.
|
||
1 flat-tip screwdriver.
|
||
1 Very patcient person.
|
||
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
|
||
1: Take the casing off your phone by loosening the two screws
|
||
underneath it. (Don't take the screws all the way off!)
|
||
|
||
2: Loosen (But don't remove) the screws on the side of the
|
||
touch- tone keypad. (The ones that attach it to the mounting
|
||
bracket.) and CAREFULLY remove the keypad from the mounting
|
||
bracket.
|
||
|
||
3: You will notice a plastic cover on the keypad; seperate the
|
||
two halves and get the out of your way. (Don't destroy them, you
|
||
will need them later.)
|
||
|
||
4: Now, look at the top of the pad (so the 123 row is facing
|
||
away, and the *0# row is toward you. Turn over the keypad. You
|
||
should see a mass of wires, gold plated contacts, discrete
|
||
components, and two large doughnut shaped black thingies. (These
|
||
are the coils hat make the touch-tone frequencies. All you are
|
||
going to do is connect the wires that Ma Bell "Forgot" to.)
|
||
|
||
5: Look at the coil on the left (with 5 solder contacts facing
|
||
you, rather than being perpendicular to you.) Count over 4
|
||
contacts FROM the left (or 2 conacts FROM the right) and solder
|
||
the GRAY wire to the fourth post FROM the left.
|
||
|
||
6: Solder the other end of the GRAY wire to the LEFT pole of
|
||
the SPDT switch.
|
||
|
||
7: (The point of no return).......... Take a look at the
|
||
bottom edge of the keypad. You should see a row of three gold
|
||
plated contacts (to the right of two very large capasitors) look
|
||
at the one on the left and GENTELY seperate the two touching
|
||
connectors (They are soldered together with a drop of solder)
|
||
and spread them apart.
|
||
|
||
8: Solder the brown wire to the top contact (The one futhest
|
||
from you), and solder it to the RIGHT pole of SPDT switch.
|
||
|
||
9: Now, take the blue wire and solder it to the bottom
|
||
(Closest) contact. Solder the other end of this wire to the
|
||
CENTER pole of SPDT switch.
|
||
|
||
***************************************
|
||
DONE
|
||
***************************************
|
||
|
||
10: Now put you phone back together. (To make it look
|
||
professonal, make a hole in the plastic top of your phone and
|
||
stick the SPDT switch through it.
|
||
|
||
Now, (Hopefully) when the switch is in on position you will
|
||
have a normal phone and when it is in the other position the 3,
|
||
6, 9, and # keys (Which are now the A, B, C, and D keys) will
|
||
magically produce the SILVER BOX TONES!

USING A
|
||
SILVER BOX
|
||
-----------------------------------
|
||
First off, a silver box adds the four extra tones to your
|
||
phone that Ma Bell never told you about. They go like this:
|
||
|
||
1 2 3 A
|
||
4 5 6 B
|
||
7 8 9 C
|
||
* 0 # D
|
||
|
||
There used to be many places were you could use SILVER BOX
|
||
tones, but now you can only use it in places were Ma Bell hasn't
|
||
gotten around to replacing here old switchboxes, (4A), or on
|
||
Autovan.
|
||
|
||
Autovan is a special military phone line, like a mass of
|
||
private lines hooked together (I think, but I'm not sure).
|
||
|
||
To see if a specific area has the old 4A switchboxes try this
|
||
test:
|
||
|
||
Call up there directory assistance by using XXX-555-1212,
|
||
(Where XXX is the area code you are check out. Now hold down the
|
||
"D" key as soon as you finish dialing. (If you are using the
|
||
SILVER BOX that I showed you how to make; Switch to SILVER BOX
|
||
tones and hold down the "#" key.) The phone should start ringing
|
||
and the operator will answer.
|
||
If the operator screams at you to stop pressing your keypad,
|
||
then hang up and try a diffrent areacode. (This one does not
|
||
work.)
|
||
|
||
If you get a pulsing tone the you got a good line! Now try out
|
||
different numbers. 6 and 7 usually form a loop line and two
|
||
people with SILVER BOXES can talk. But some of these are
|
||
whatched, so DON'T say anything you wouldn't want your mother to
|
||
hear!
|
||
|
||
I have heard the 213 works but is being watched. Try out of
|
||
the way states like Iowa, Monatana, Wyoming, ect... Have Phun,
