- Clear Box Plans by The Jolly Roger
-
- The clear box is a new device which has just been invented that can be
- used throughout Canada and rural United States. The clear box works on
- "PostPay" payphones (fortress fones). Those are the payphones
- that don't require payment until after the connection is established.
- You pick up the fone, get a dial tone, dial your number, and then
- insert your money after the person answers.
- If you don't deposit the money then you can not speak to the person on
- the other end because your mouth piece is cut off but not the ear-piece.
- (obviously these phones are nice for free calls to weather or time or
- other such recordings). All you must do is to go to your nearby Radio
- Shack, or electronics store, and get a four-transistor amplifier and a
- telephone suction cup induction pick-up. The induction pick-up would be
- hooked up as it normally would to record a conversation, except
- that it would be plugged into the output of the amplifier and a
- microphone would be hooked to the input. So when the party
- that is being called answers, the caller could speak through the little
- microphone instead. His voice then goes through the amplifier and out
- the induction coil, and into the back of the receiver where
- it would then be broadcast through the phone lines and the other
- partywould be able to hear the caller. The Clear Box thus
- 'clears up' the problem of not being heard. Luckily, the line will
- not be cut-off after a certain amount of time because it will wait
- forever for the coins to be put in.
- The biggest advantage for all of us about this new clear box is the
- fact that this type of payphone will most likely become very common.
- Due to a few things: 1st, it is a cheap way of getting the DTF,
- dial-tone-first service, 2nd, it doesn't require any special equipment,
- (for the phone company) This payphone will work on any phone line.
- Usually a payphone line is different, but this is a regular phone line
- and it is set up so the phone does all the charging, not the company.
