- What Diverters Are:
- -------------------
-
- Diverters, originally knows as "Chesse Boxes" were used in the sixties by
- bookies and other illegal businesses to forward their calls. Diverters pre-
- date call forwarding and simulate this custom calling feature with one major
- advantage. Unlike call forwarding, a diverted call may be intercepted while
- the phone rings or during conversation just by picking up the phone at the
- diverter location. After diverters became popular in the crime sector, they
- became a good way for professionals to recieve night time office calls at
- home. For this reason may diverters are only up at night.
-
-
- Locating Diverters:
- -------------------
-
- 1 - You can recognize a diverter fairly easily. A diverter will ring usually
- one of two times then you may hear a tone, a moment of silence or a voice
- saying something like "Please hold you call is being transferred". On some
- diverters, there is no time laps before the second symptom. The second symptom
- is another ring... sometimes of a different type. Finally and fatally, if you
- wait after the person hangs up you will usually hear the diverter dial-tone
- within a few seconds.

- How A Diverter Works:
- ---------------------
-
- Simply put, a diverter is a small box connected to two phones. When phone
- #1 rings, the diverter picks up phone #2 dials a number on it and patches the
- two phones together.
-
-
- Flaws To A Diverter:
- --------------------
-
- The most commonly known flaw is that if you hold on the line after being
- hung up on you will usually hear the diverter dial-tone and you can usually
- dial off of it. This is because you have not hung up on phone #1 and it is
- still connected to phone #2.
-
- Another flaw is even better. If one person rings phone #2, and another
- calls phone #1 the two parties will be connected. If either party hangs up,
- the other will get a dial-tone belonging to the other phone (usually).
-
- Often you will have to hit your "1" key. This simulates a dial-tone and
- fools the diverter into thinking that the phone is hung up.
-
- You can also sit ringing phone #2 and intercept their calls. One diverter I
- found belonged to a mail order place and I intercepted calls, obtained credit
- card numbers, then placed the orders myself so that noone would know what
- happened.
