- A MUCH better way to get phree calls from COCOT fones:
- Phucking Phreak -NPC-
-
- DISCLAIMER: I take no responsibility for your actions! If you screw
- yourself over it's your problem, and you get the honor of dealing with it.
- (Oh, if you do get caught at this you are really stupid. Either you
- screamed "I'm cheating the fone company now!" or one of your phriends
- ratted on you. Either way, you suck shit!)
-
- Lately people have been giveing me all these ways to make phree fone calls
- from COCOTS, and frankly, they only work on like 1 in 50 fones. Here is a
- way that has never failed me. It envolves social engineering, but it's so
- easy to do that you could think of it more as lieing to the operator for 10
- seconds.
-
- How to identify a COCOT (Customer Owned Coin Operated Telephone):
- Let's say you're walking down the street and you see a phone with no bell
- logos on it. You think "gee, this must be a COCOT", so you pick it up and
- dial a local call. Suddenly, this disgusting bitch that sounds like she's
- drowning says "Please deposit 25 cents to complete this call." Then we know
- it's a COCOT and the phun begins.
-
- Here's what you do from the COCOT:
- 1. Call 1-800-CALL-ATT
- 2. When you hear the "AT&T" jingle, press 2.
- 3. The voice will ask for the area code and number twice, just keep waiting.
- Eventually, the operator will come on...
- AT&T: "AT&T how may I help you?"
- You: "Hi, my X key seems to be stuck and it dosen't make any tones. Could
- you place a call for me?" (replace X with a number that's in the phone number
- you're calling that is NOT 1, 8, 0, 2, or 5)
- AT&T: "Certainly, can I have the area code and number you're calling?"
- You: "It's XXX-XXX-XXXX" (NOTE: you can also use international numbers, just
- say 011+country code+city code+local number)
- AT&T: "ok, here's your call"
- You: "Thanks"
- AT&T: "Thank you for using AT&T."
-
- Why this works:
-
- A COCOT is just an ordinary home phone line. The PHONE is what does all the
- charging. Think you hear a dialtone when you pick the phone up? Wrong. This
- is a fake systhesized dialtone to make you THINK you are using a normal pay-
- fone. The voice and the dialtone are generated inside the machine. Your
- calls are usually carried by sleazy carriers that charge redicouls rates.
- These fones don't allow incoming calls, because they don't make profits. The
- only reason they allow 800 numbers is because they are REQUIRED BY LAW. If
- they could block them, beleive me, they would.
-
- Well, enjoy the phree, easy fone calls where you doint have to to bend over
- backwards makeing a tone dialer, etc.
