Pay Phone Hacking

Note: The following is 4 files compiled into this one file. I would
like to say that the stuff in this is probably out dated so don't take
it to serious.

Section 1:how to open a payphone
An Atlantic Bell payphone is a heavily armored device. It is designed to
withstand attempted theft and damage. But as we found out in part 1, we don't
need to get through all the armor to phreak it. All we need to do is get to
the wiring which is all located behind 3 easy to remove panels.
All that holds the front panel on is 3 or 4 bolts. Just apply sulfuric acid
and in ten minutes or less they will come right out. While you are waiting
remove the other panels. The top panel is held on by two tight nuts. A good
pair of pliars will remove them. Now the back panel is the hardest to remove.
It is held together by a semi-permanent solution. On the newer AT&T credit
and pay phones, an alarm goes off when the back panel is removed. Th
e
circuitry for it is located in the top panel. Look for a round box with 4
wires coming out. Cut the first and second ones. Now use sulfuric acid, wait
ten minutes and lift it off.
Section 2:How to steal a payphone
Ever wanted to have your own payphone. Its not very hard to steal one. As a
matter of fact, it is easy to rip one out of the wall, but I want to show you
how to take one home intact. Anyone traveling to Toronto should stop by to
see MR. C0SMOS' collection of payphones. He has them set up and working.
Stealing payphones is very dangerous. Much more than phone boxing. Do not
steal more than one from an area. They sometimes know immediatly when its
gone, so get the hell out of there. The inside of it is heavily armored. If
you are taking it for the money, you will need a full set of philips &
flathead screwdrivers, sulfuric acid, a crowbar, a sledgehammer, bolt cutters,
and probably more. Now you can take it home and pound on it, or you can use
the easy way we showed you in part one.
The following text file is for AT&T & GTE payphones from 1982-1985. some
things are different on gte phones, so additions are included for them.
Section 1:The coin slot
For every 5 cents you put in a phone, a sound is made. After you put the
coins in the slot, they pass through a totalizer which counts them. They
Then collect in a hopper. To empty out the hopper, all you have to do is
activate the coin relay. Payphones sometimes hold $100 or more. To activate
the relay place 5 cents in the phone. Stick a magnet up the coin slot about 5
inches. Now remove the front panel of the phone. You will see a series of
wires. cut the red and green wires. Now in the front of the panel you will
see three screws. Touch the green wire to the third screw. Better have a hat
ready, because alot of change is gonna come flooding out. Isn't this fun?
Section 2:free credits
If you have a friend in germany you need to call this sections for you. One
of the cheap things about pay phones is they depend on tones to tell them you
inserted money. Well if you have a red box these tones are easily duplicated,
but i want to show you how do it without boxes in this file. Now Some thing
you need are...
A set of screwdrivers. You will need both philips and flathead. Now open the
front panel of the phone and cut the red and green wires. Take the cover off
the top of the phone and insert 5 cents. You should hear nothing. Find a
green wire coming from the coin slot down to the hopper. Disconnect that
wire. Now take off the case and you will see a small switch. Move the
Getting money back.
If a payphone takes your money and won't give it back, but the money is still
in the hopper, heres what you can do. Just dial a 950 number, such as
950-1044, and it will clear it out.
Endless ringing
This will make a payphone ring and ring. The only way to stop it will be if a
repairman comes out and fixes it.
Open the front of the phone. Now the in the front row of wires go and clip
the first, third, and fourth. Now touch them to each other untill two of them
make the phone ring. Now attach the two top ends and bottom ends two each
other. Take the odd wire and reconnect it. Now cut the third wire to the
right. If the payphone isn't ringing right now, make sure the receiver is
hung up and touch those wires again. It will now ring. Put the phone
together and walk away.
Remember after every trick to put the phone back together for another day.

Well our mail boxes having been filling up with questions regarding this
series. We will answer them all in future files.
Ok, now you have your payphone home. What do you do with it. While, if you
want to make it work, you need to run up a five prong cable from the phone
line in your basement. The outlet in the wall won't work. Now, a two inch
hole at the left front of it. Remove the back panel (as described in part 1)
and disconnect the wires coming out of it. You will see them coming from
silver screws. Disconnect them all. Now make sure you know which screws they
came from.
Now for some explaining. You could just wire it up with the existing wires,
but then it will make tones, so we are going to rewire it.
You will need 10 heavy duty 7 inch wires for the next part.
If you don't want it to accept money, skip this part.
Take the 12 O'clock screw and connect it to the screw at the bottom of the
totalizer. You will have to push it through, then take the top off, and
connect it. Connect the 2 O'clock screw to the green wire on the silver box.
Just cut the green wire from the box and connect them.
Ok, now this is the part that makes them work. Take the silver box which is
hanging loose now (make sure the wires attached already don't come loose), and
attach your 10 wires to the screws on the phone. Now starting at the left top
of the silver box, hook the wires on counter clockwise starting with 3
O'clock, excluding 12, 2, 2:30, and 4.
Now run the cable up through the bottom, and hook it to the front of the
silver box. It should now work.
Ok, now to answer a question. A MAD! reader wants to know if you could trip
the totalizer using a wire stuck up the coin slot.
MR. C0SMOS answers that it would be very hard because of the bends involved,
and metal in the way. You might be able to if you used a non-magneti
c, very
small, bendable rod. Just keep going up, intill you encounter a small lever,
then move it. It would take alot of patience.
