=======================================
|
||
|
||
|
||
What Diverters Are:
|
||
-------------------
|
||
|
||
Diverters, originally knows as "Chesse Boxes" were used in the sixties by
|
||
bookies and other illegal businesses to forward their calls. Diverters pre-
|
||
date call forwarding and simulate this custom calling feature with one major
|
||
advantage. Unlike call forwarding, a diverted call may be intercepted while
|
||
the phone rings or during conversation just by picking up the phone at the
|
||
diverter location. After diverters became popular in the crime sector, they
|
||
became a good way for professionals to recieve night time office calls at
|
||
home. For this reason may diverters are only up at night.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Locating Diverters:
|
||
-------------------
|
||
|
||
1 - You can recognize a diverter fairly easily. A diverter will ring usually
|
||
one of two times then you may hear a tone, a moment of silence or a voice
|
||
saying something like "Please hold you call is being transferred". On some
|
||
diverters, there is no time laps before the second symptom. The second symptom
|
||
is another ring... sometimes of a different type. Finally and fatally, if you
|
||
wait after the person hangs up you will usually hear the diverter dial-tone
|
||
within a few seconds.
|
||
|
||
2 - Diverters are often in step or crossbar office. But this is only a
|
||
guideline and not a rule.
|
||
|
||
3 - Diverters often belong to:
|
||
|
||
A: Physicians
|
||
B: Dentists
|
||
C: Real Estate Offices
|
||
D: Financial Advisers
|
||
E: 24 Hour Air Cond. Repair

||

|
||
G: 24 Hour Heater Repair
|
||
H: Insurance Agents
|
||
I: Wreckers
|
||
J: Anyone Else Of A 24 Hour Nature
|
||
|
||
|
||
How A Diverter Works:
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
Simply put, a diverter is a small box connected to two phones. When phone
|
||
#1 rings, the diverter picks up phone #2 dials a number on it and patches the
|
||
two phones together.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Flaws To A Diverter:
|
||
--------------------
|
||
|
||
The most commonly known flaw is that if you hold on the line after being
|
||
hung up on you will usually hear the diverter dial-tone and you can usually
|
||
dial off of it. This is because you have not hung up on phone #1 and it is
|
||
still connected to phone #2.
|
||
|
||
Another flaw is even better. If one person rings phone #2, and another
|
||
calls phone #1 the two parties will be connected. If either party hangs up,
|
||
the other will get a dial-tone belonging to the other phone (usually).
|
||
|
||
Often you will have to hit your "1" key. This simulates a dial-tone and
|
||
fools the diverter into thinking that the phone is hung up.
|
||
|
||
You can also sit ringing phone #2 and intercept their calls. One diverter I
|
||
found belonged to a mail order place and I intercepted calls, obtained credit
|
||
card numbers, then placed the orders myself so that noone would know what
|
||
happened.
