As far as I know this works only in Southwestern Bell's areas. That should
|
|
include Texas, Ok, Arkansas, NM and Louisanna.
|
|
|
|
Materials needed: Shoes with rubber soles, Wirestrippers/cutters,
|
|
3/8in open-end wrench, beige box,
|
|
and maybe a cordless phone.
|
|
|
|
First off, this method is not fool proof and is safer in rural
|
|
areas than in big cities. Second, you need to know where the little green
|
|
cylinder that connects your house to the network is. If your area's setup
|
|
is anything like mine, there'll be a green protrusion every five hundred
|
|
feet down a rural road. If you aren't for sure which one is for your house
|
|
you can either report line problems and watch for the lineman to work on
|
|
your line and note what box he goes to or you can get a good cordless phone
|
|
and if the box is in range take it with you to the box, open the box up,
|
|
turn on the phone and verify that you have a dial-tone, the box will have
|
|
several pairs of wires sticking out of it (blues and oranges) and some of
|
|
them (the blues ones) will be connected.
|
|
These blue lines are primary lines. If you notice though, the blue
|
|
lines go into a insulator with a pair of unhooked orange wires,
|
|
secondary lines, that both go to houses. If you already have a legal second
|
|
line the orange pair should be hooked up too.
|
|
The post has a left set of terminals and a right side of terminals.
|
|
You ALWAYS hook up the wire with the white stripe on it to the left side!
|
|
Find your line by disconnecting wires and listening to the phone. When you
|
|
find yours, trace the blue wire down in to the ground and see it there's
|
|
a pair of orange wires that are in the same cable as the blues. Hook them
|
|
up by cutting off the capper and striping the wires. Now close up the box
|
|
after you make it look like it was inside and pick up any wire strippings
|
|
and then go home.
|
|
You're now hooked into another line! Now you need to interface
|
|
your house with the new line.
|
|
Most houses have a telephone network interface box. This is a
|
|
black, silver or beige box thats on the outside of the house. The newer
|
|
model boxes have two parts, one part for the linemen and another part for
|
|
the customers. You need to get in to both. Open up the box.
|
|
You should see the blue wires hooked up to the red and green lines
|
|
also you should see the orange wires sticking up unused. Strip them and
|
|
connect them to the yellow and black wires. The wire with the stripe goes
|
|
to the yellow wire. Now your house has a new line.
|
|
To access the other line you have two choices. You can either buy a
|
|
two line splitter and use both lines in your room, or you can just open up
|
|
the wall plate of the room that you'd want to use the new line in and
|
|
exchange the red and black and the yellow and green wires.
|
|
You're now ready to go. Chances are you'll be tied into an
|
|
existing phone line already so be careful in your usage during the night.
|
|
THe great thing about this is that you can now call long-distance for free!
|
|
No more code hacking!
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
