- INTERSTING THINGS TO DO
- ON STEP LINES
- ===================================
- If you have STEP lines in your prefix, (A good way of checking to see if you
- have STEP is to look at the payphones around your house, if they are rotary,
- then you have STEP, if not, your outta luck.) From your house dial "0", (This
- will not work at a payphone). You will hear a few "Kerplunks", if you hit the
- hang up button when the second-to-the-last "Kerplunk" is heard then the
- operator will get on and be very confused. (I will tell why she is confused in
- just a second, but for now just....) Say that you are trying to complete a call
- when she got on. She will ask for the number you are trying to call. Tell her
- the number (Long distance ofcourse), and she will ask you for YOUR number, pick
- a number out of your head, (It must be in your prefix though), and tell her it.
- She will believe you and will connect you with the charges charged to the
- number you said. (If you didn't hit the button at the correct timejust tell
- the operator your sorry, you were trying to dust the phone or some other
- bullshit like that.)
- What you did was screw up the automatic number find that was built into the
- first step lines. This is what would tell the operator you number so she could
- bill you if she had to complete a call for you. The operator will get some
- garbage on her screen that is suposed to be your number, but since you
- interupted that proccess, it looks really bizzare.
- What is really phun to do is complain to the operator that this is the third
- time today that you have not been able to get through and she will give you
- some sob story about "We're sorry, but we've had a computer malfunction and it
- is being fixed right now".
- I kinda sure that the phone company knows nothing of this. The worst thing
- that could happen is you get a call asking why you've hung up on the operator
- so many times, (If you did this alot, that is). Just give them some bullshit
- about a baby brother just learning how to use the phone, ot something like
- that.
