CAPTURING REDIAL

=============================
INTRO
Ok, here's the scenario: You're at someone's house. That someone
pick's up the phone, dials, and...
"Hey Billy, how's the Missus?....Great glad to hear it. And How's
Chelsea?...Oh really, thats fabulous. And how's Roger doin'?...Great,
glad to hear it. I was just calling to see how you all were doin. Is
Al or Tipper around?"
The phone call's over and you're sayin to yourself "man, I wish I had
that number." Well you could ask your friend point blank for it, but
we both know that as two-faced and shallow as your so-called
friendship with this guy is, theirs NO WAY he'd give you the number to
information let alone to the White House. But that's alright, cuz
you're pretty good at...
CAPTURING REDIAL
The principle behind Redial Capturing is simple. You basically capture
the last number that was dialed from a TouchTone(c) phone and keep it
for later use. So now the question is, how do you do the capture. Well
there's a number of way you can do it, but after some consideration, I
think I've come up with a method thats both fairly inexpensive, VERY
effective, and quite practical. Heres what you need:
* Radio Shack Pocket Dialer w/Memory
Catalog Number: 43-146
Price: $24.99
* Any Brand Pager.
Alrght, here it is, plain, simple, and effective:
1. Take your Radio Shack Dialer and program it with the number to
your pager.
2. Keep your dialer with you at all times. (Every good
phreak should have one anyway.)
3. When you need to make a Capture, wait for the person
who has made the call to get off the phone (obviously.)
4. Pick-up the same phone the person has made the call from.
5. Hold the Pocket Dialer up to the Mouth Piece of the phone, and
press the Memory button (assuming you did like I said and
programmed the Dialer with your pager number. If not dial you're
a bonehead and you have to dial your Pager number manually witht
the Pocket Dialer.)
6. Once your Pager answers and requests you to "[E]nter the number
you are dialing from at the tone," hit REDIAL on the phone. Once
the phone has redialed, hang-up.
7. Beep-beep. Check your pager. You have just captured the last
number dialed from that phone.
Like I said, plain, simple, and cool enough to be in a James Cameron
flick.
WHAT DUMBASS?!?
By the way, I've already been asked the Ingenious question: "how
come you need a Pocket Dialer to do this? Why can't you just call your
Pager and then hit Redial on the phone and Capture the Redial that
way?" Well you can, but the only Number you'll be capturing is your
own pager number you just dialed. (Duh!) If you wan't to Capture the
redial you have to find away to dial a source which will decode the
DTMF tones, and you have to be able to preserve the tones in the first
place. The closest alternative to the method described in this file,
is to call your Pager on one phone in the house, and once your
page answers, pick-up the phone you want to Capture from and hit
Redial. This'll work fine, but you might have a little trouble
remaining inconspicuous about the whole thing--running back and forth
and all.
OUTRO
Anyway, that's it. Thanx to Hades (IIRG-Net) for pointing out the
obvious to me. Look for more oleBuzzard philez at kn0wledge phreak BBS
