Ever heard (actually, seen) people on various hacking boards
|
|
around the country telling you how you are going to get caught for sure if
|
|
you use the in state-WATS (950) telephone numbers to make your phreaks off of?
|
|
This file is to tell you what the story is with 950's and how to SAFELY use
|
|
them.
|
|
The 950 prefix was created by the old Bell System for all the
|
|
SSC's (Specialized Common Carrier), or Extenders as they are called, to
|
|
place their services upon. This was done for the long distance company's
|
|
benefit so they could have the same dialup in all cities across the USA.
|
|
For some reason, the Long Distance companies rejected the 950 prefix in favor
|
|
of local lines and 1-800 numbers.
|
|
Disadvantages to 950's are that they are run on a special ESS of
|
|
their own that can trace you call before you can say 'shit!'. But tracing
|
|
Come on... Ain't Got All Day!! only occurs on special occasions. The companies on 950's will only trace when
|
|
the computer controlling the calls sees that there is an unusually high number
|
|
of calls to the extender on that particular day. The computer then will auto-
|
|
trace every 100th call or so. Which means that, if used in moderation, 950's
|
|
are fantastic!
|
|
Advantages: By having the same dialup in all cities, you can go
|
|
on vacation and just hack codez to use for while you are there on your
|
|
favorite 950 extender. Being a free call (in most cases, some phones not)
|
|
from a pay phone, this is very advantageous. Also, and anyone who has used
|
|
a 950 knows this, the connections on 950 extenders are VERY clear usually,
|
|
making for excellent error-free data transfer on AE lines, etc.
|
|
With the breakup of the Bell System in January of 1984, the 950
|
|
prefix was supposed to be dragged down with it and the companies were sup-
|
|
posed to have switched over to either local or 1-800 numbers, but as is
|
|
very typical of the phone company, they never got around to it.
|
|
Here is the list of the 950's that are currently in use in the
|
|
U.S. :
|
|
950-1000..........Southern Pacific Communications
|
|
950-1022..........MCI Exec-U-Net
|
|
950-1033..........U.S. Telephone
|
|
950-1044..........AllNet
|
|
950-1066..........Lexitel
|
|
950-1088..........SBS Skyline
|
|
|
|
Come on... Ain't Got All Day!! Personally, I favor the use of 950-1088, because it has many
|
|
users and the codez (which, by the way are 6 digits, but they are switching
|
|
over to 8 digits) are easy to hack out from a pay phone. You may want to try
|
|
the other services so you can have a few codez from each available for use.
|
|
|
|
Stay Phree!
