@07@        HOW TO MAKE FREE CALLS WITH A CELLULAR PHONE WITHOUT CLONING

                                BY TRON

THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO MAKE FREE CALLS WITH A CELLULAR PHONE THAT DOES NOT

HAVE SERVICE WITH THE HASSLE OF CLONING IT, OR IF YOU HAVE A PHONE THAT CAN'T

BE CLONED OR YOU DON'T WANT TO BUY THE EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED, SO HERE

ARE A FEW WAYS TO DO IT FROM HOME WITH LITTLE RISK.

1.) AMERICAN ROAMING NETWORK

TO REACH THE AMERICAN ROAMING NETWORK (OR SOMETHING LIKE IT, DEPENDING ON

WHERE YOU ARE), PUT YOUR PHONE ON THE ALTERNATE CARRIER SIDE SO IT SAYS ROAM,

THEN DIAL 0 AND IT SHOULD TELL YOU YOUR CALL IS BEING FORWARDED.

AT THAT POINT YOU SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM, FROM HERE YOU

HAVE A COUPLE OF BILLING OPTIONS.

TO USE A CREDIT OR CALLING CARD, YOU ENTER THE AREA CODE AND NUMBER YOU WANT

TO CALL; FOR A CALLING CARD YOU THEN ENTER THE CARD NUMBER AND PIN, FOR A

CREDIT CARD YOU THEN ENTER THE CARD NUMBER, THEN THE EXPERATION DATE, THEN

THE NUMBER NUMERIC PART OF THE STREET ADDRESS (I.E. IF THE ADDRESS WAS

123 BROWN STREET YOU'D ENTER 123), THEN THE ZIP CODE OF THE BILLING ADDRESS.

ARN TAKES MASTERCARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS, AND MOST LOCAL AND LONG DISTANCE

COMPANY CALLING CARDS.

IF THE NUMBER YOU CALL IS BUSY OR DOESN'T ANSWER YOU CAN PRESS * AND THEN

EITHER LEAVE A MESSAGE THAT THE SYSTEM WILL DELIVER OR TRY ANOTHER NUMBER,

IF YOU WANT TO DIAL ANOTHER NUMBER YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE ZIP CODE AGAIN

AFTER THE NEW NUMBER.

YOU CAN ALSO MAKE COLLECT AND 3RD PARTY BILLED CALLS BY DIALING 0 INSTEAD OF

 THE NUMBER TO CALL WHEN YOU CONNECT TO ARN. YOU WILL BE SENT TO AN OPERATOR

, TELL THEM YOU WOULD LIKE TO PLACE A CALL. THEY WILL THEN ASK HOW YOU WOULD

 LIKE TO BILL IT. YOU CAN SET UP AN LOCAL DIALUP VOICE MAIL BOX AND CHANGE

THE GREETING SO IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE'S THERE TO ACCEPT THE CHARGES. THE

OPERATOR HAS TO READ A SCRIPT SO YOU HAVE TO ADJUST THE TIMING TO GET IT

JUST RIGHT.

ARN WILL NOT 3RD PARTY OR COLLECT BILL TO 800 NUMBERS, NOR WILL THEY PLACE

CALLS TO 800 NUMBERS CHARGED TO 3RD PARTY NUMBERS.

2.) SOCIAL ENGINEERING

ANOTHER WAY IS TO DIAL 611 AND TELL THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT PERSON THAT YOUR

HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THROUGH TO THE AREA YOUR TRYING TO CALL AND COULD

THEY TRY PLACE THE CALL FOR YOU. THIS WORKS ABOUT %50 OF THE TIME. IT HELPS

TO HAVE THE NAME AND CELL NUMBER OF SOMEONE WHO HAS SERVICE WITH THAT

PROVIDER IN CASE THEY ASK FOR IT. THEY MIGHT ASK FOR THE SOCIAL SECURITY

NUMBER TOO, SO BE PREPARED, DUMPSTER DIVING AT A CELL STORE IS THE EASIST

PLACE TO GET THAT INFO.

3.) SET UP SERVICE WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S INFO

THE BEST WAY, AND THE ONE I PERFER TO CLONING, IS TO GET SOMEONE ELSES

INFORMATION AND SET UP SERVICE. THE BEST PLACE TO GET THE INFORMATION YOU'LL

NEED IS FROM A PLACE THAT DOES CREDIT CHECKS, LIKE A BANK OR CAR DEALERSHIP.

MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A GOOD RATING, LIKE A, B, OR C, SO THEY WONT ASK FOR A

DEPOSIT.

YOU'LL NEED A NAME, ADDRESS, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, DRIVERS LICENSE NUMBER,

AND WORK NUMBER.

YOU WILL ALSO NEED A CELL PHONE THAT IS NOT STOLEN. THEY WILL NOT ACTIVATE A

STOLEN PHONE, WHEN THEY TRIED THEY PUT ME ON HOLD AND CALLED THE PERSON

WHO'S PHONE I HAD AND THEN TOLD ME THE PERSON WANTED ME TO MAIL THE PHONE TO

THEM.

ALSO FIND AND WRITE DOWN THE ELECTRONIC SERIAL NUMBER, YOU'LL NEED THAT TOO.

ITS ON THE BACK OF THE PHONE IF YOU TAKE OFF THE BATTERY, OR YOU CAN GET IT

BY DIALING *376 ON SOME SYSTEMS.

YOU THEN NEED TO CALL A LOCAL CELL SERVICE PROVIDER (I.E. GTE MOBILNET,

CELLULAR ONE, BELL SOUTH MOBILITY, ETC; THEY CAN BE REACHED BY DIALING 611

OR *611) AND TELL THEM YOU WANT TO SET UP SERVICE ON A PHONE YOU HAVE.

LET THEM TELL YOU ABOUT THE DIFFERENT SERVICE PLANS AND PICK ONE. THEY WILL

THEN ASK FOR YOUR "INFORMATION" AND ESN. THEN THEY WILL ASK TO CALL YOU

BACK WITH YOUR NEW CELL NUMBER, TELL THEM YOUR OUT AND ASK FOR A NUMBER TO

CALL THEM BACK AT. THEY WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THIS. THEN CALL THEM BACK

AND THEY WILL TELL YOU HOW TO PROGRAM YOUR NEW NUMBER INTO YOUR PHONE. THEY

MIGHT ALSO HAVE YOU PROGRAM IN A NEW SYSTEM ID AND PAGING CHANNEL ETC,

THIS IS NO BIG DEAL. ALSO ASK WHEN THE BILLING CYCLE ENDS AND WHEN THE BILL

IS SENT OUT, YOU WILL WANT TO STOP USING THIS NUMBER WHEN THE PERSON YOUR

BILLING IT TO GETS THERE BILL.

BE SURE TO GET CALL FEATURES LIKE 3-WAY AND CALL FORWARDING, THERE ALWAYS

USEFULL TO HAVE.

I'VE ALSO BEEN ABLE TO SET UP SERVICE BY CALLING AND SAYING I AM A CURRENT

CUSTOMER AND WOULD LIKE TO ADD A SECOND PHONE TO MY SERVICE, I'VE BEEN ABLE

TO GET THIS TO WORK USING JUST THE NAME MOBIL NUMBER AND LAST 4 DIGITS OF

THE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER OF SOMEONE THAT HAS SERVICE.

I PERFER THIS TO CLONING BECAUSE ITS LESS WORRY AND HASSLE AND IT LASTS UP TO A MONTH.

4.) ROAMING

THANKS TO OUR FRIENDS AT THE FCC CELL CARRIERS MUST HONOR THE ROAMING AGREEMENTS

MADE WITH OTHER CARRIERS.

BY TAKING A PHONE WITH NO SERVICE TO AN AREA SERVED BY A DIFFERENT SET OF CARRIERS

AND HAVING YOUR PHONE ON THE WIRELINE SIDE YOU CAN PLACE CALLS BY JUST DIALING A

NUMBER, LOCAL OR LONG DISTANCE.

IT WILL TAKE THE CARRIER A FEW CALLS TO CATCH ON TO THIS, WHEN IT DOES YOU'LL

JUST GET A FAST REPEATING TONE. CHANGING YOUR NAM WILL WORK FOR A FEW TIMES,

AFTER THAT YOUR SHIT OUTTA LUCK.

I WILL BE UPDATING THIS FILE WHENEVER I GET MORE INFORMATION.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS I CAN BE FOUND ON IRC IN #CELLULAR ON
