-
- INTRO
-
- Ok, here's the scenario: You're at someone's house. That someone
- pick's up the phone, dials, and...
-
- "Hey Billy, how's the Missus?....Great glad to hear it. And How's
- Chelsea?...Oh really, thats fabulous. And how's Roger doin'?...Great,
- glad to hear it. I was just calling to see how you all were doin. Is
- Al or Tipper around?"
-
- The phone call's over and you're sayin to yourself "man, I wish I had
- that number." Well you could ask your friend point blank for it, but
- we both know that as two-faced and shallow as your so-called
- friendship with this guy is, theirs NO WAY he'd give you the number to
- information let alone to the White House. But that's alright, cuz
- you're pretty good at...
-
- CAPTURING REDIAL
-
- The principle behind Redial Capturing is simple. You basically capture
- the last number that was dialed from a TouchTone(c) phone and keep it
- for later use. So now the question is, how do you do the capture. Well
- there's a number of way you can do it, but after some consideration, I
- think I've come up with a method thats both fairly inexpensive, VERY
- effective, and quite practical. Heres what you need:
-
- * Radio Shack Pocket Dialer w/Memory
- Catalog Number: 43-146
- Price: $24.99
-
- * Any Brand Pager.
-
- Alrght, here it is, plain, simple, and effective:
-
- 1. Take your Radio Shack Dialer and program it with the number to
- your pager.
-
- 2. Keep your dialer with you at all times. (Every good
- phreak should have one anyway.)
-
- 3. When you need to make a Capture, wait for the person
- who has made the call to get off the phone (obviously.)
-
- 4. Pick-up the same phone the person has made the call from.
-
- 5. Hold the Pocket Dialer up to the Mouth Piece of the phone, and
- press the Memory button (assuming you did like I said and
- programmed the Dialer with your pager number. If not dial you're
- a bonehead and you have to dial your Pager number manually witht
- the Pocket Dialer.)
-
- 6. Once your Pager answers and requests you to "[E]nter the number
- you are dialing from at the tone," hit REDIAL on the phone. Once
- the phone has redialed, hang-up.
-
- 7. Beep-beep. Check your pager. You have just captured the last
- number dialed from that phone.
-
- Like I said, plain, simple, and cool enough to be in a James Cameron
- flick.
-
- WHAT DUMBASS?!?
-
- By the way, I've already been asked the Ingenious question: "how
- come you need a Pocket Dialer to do this? Why can't you just call your
- Pager and then hit Redial on the phone and Capture the Redial that
- way?" Well you can, but the only Number you'll be capturing is your
- own pager number you just dialed. (Duh!) If you wan't to Capture the
- redial you have to find away to dial a source which will decode the
- DTMF tones, and you have to be able to preserve the tones in the first
- place. The closest alternative to the method described in this file,
- is to call your Pager on one phone in the house, and once your
- page answers, pick-up the phone you want to Capture from and hit
- Redial. This'll work fine, but you might have a little trouble
- remaining inconspicuous about the whole thing--running back and forth
- and all.
-
- OUTRO
-
- Anyway, that's it. Thanx to Hades (IIRG-Net) for pointing out the
- obvious to me. Look for more oleBuzzard philez at kn0wledge phreak BBS
- or any UnionNET or IIRG-Net System
