- Phone Dial Locks -- How to Beat'em Courtesy of the Jolly Roger
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-
- Have you ever been in an office or somewhere and wanted to make a
- free phone call but some asshole put a lock on the phone to prevent
- out-going calls? Fret no more phellow phreake, for every system can b
- beaten with a little knowledge!
-
- There are two ways to beat this obstacle, first pick the lock, I don't
- have the time to teach locksmithing so we go to the second method which
- takes advantage of telephone electronics.
-
- To be as simple as possible when you pick up the phone you complete a
- circuit known as a local loop. When you hang up you break the circuit.
- When you dial (pulse) it also breaks the circuit but not long enough to
- hang up! So you can "Push-dial." To do this you >>> RAPIDLY <<< depress
- the switchhook. For example, to dial an operator (and then give her the
- number you want to call) >>> RAPIDLY <<< & >>> EVENLY <<< depress the
- switchhook 10 times. To dial 634-1268, depress 6 X'S pause, then 3 X'S,
- pause, then 4X'S, etc. It takes a little practice but you'll get the
- hang of it. Try practicing with your own # so you'll get a busy tone
- when right. It'll also work on touch-tone(tm) since a DTMF line will
- also accept pulse. Also, never depress the switchhook for more than a
- second or it'll hang up!
-
- Finally, remember that you have just as much right to that phone as the
- asshole who put the lock on it!
