- THE AT&T 959 EXCHANGE
- ---------------------

- PREFACE
- -------
-
- Because AT&T is still MA BELL, they still have an exchange set up just for
- themselves. This is why phreakers should be scammin' AT&T and Sprint and
- not MCI. Simply on ethics... Sprint and AT&T both come from monopolies.
- They have too much fucking money that they did not earn. MCI worked for
- their money. They were actually Renegades just like us. They fought for
- years to break up that FAT CAT MA BELL. When they first started, they
- set up equipment in their house, and AT&T people came late at night and
- ripped the wires out, literally. AT&T has 73,000,000,000 dollars that they
- scammed from everybody's parents. They deserve to die. You can not feel
- sorry for hacking AT&T. I encourage it to the fullest extent possible.
-
- This is the first in my series. To those of you who know about the 959
- exchange, my respect to you. For those of you who don't, it's about
- goddam time you learned.
-
- ABOUT 959
- ---------
-
- Back in the day, AT&T set up a test exchange. This exchange was used for
- lineman to do tests. AT&T being overpriced and big, kept this exchange
- even after they were broke up.
-
- One good thing is you can't use any other carrier to access it. Since it
- isn't an exchange at all.
-
- If you dial a local 959 number, depending on where you are, you will find
- a lot of neat shit. These are Local Exchange Carrier test lines. In
- every area code the test lines are different. A few are standard.
-
- On an interstate level, though, 959 is all the same. That's the AT&T part.
- You must use AT&T to hack it. You can use codez, but there is no reason.
- AT&T does not charge for 959 calls. The calls are free. Out of about
- 20,000 959 calls made, I have only received two bills. One was when I used
- a calling card to access it, I got a bill for $.99 and disputed it 'cuz
- there is, according to AT&T, no 959 exchange. Then, when I accessed it
- through USA direct, they charged me the same rate as if you call an 800#.
- Once again, I disputed it, "There is no 959 exchange."
-
- You used to be able to bill calls to 959 numbers, but I think after to
- $390,000 in rejected calls, AT&T put an end to that.
-
- 959 ON A LOCAL LEVEL
- --------------------
-
- In 75% of the country, the coin test number is 959-1230. Call this the
- next time you are at a BELL pay telephone (GTE, ALLTEL, UNITED don't
- work). It's a red box tester. Nickel. Dime. Quarter. Gives your
- money back.
-
- To access it, just dial it. No area codes.
-
- This does not work from NEW YORK for some reason and I am sure other
- parts of the country too.
-
- When I dial other 959 numbers, I get a variety of things. Since they
- are all different all over the country, no reason in listing the nums.
- Try 1000, 2000, etc...
-
- Most numbers when I dial, I usually get "BONG <BELL OF PA>" And then
- it wants a calling card. Mind you, I don't dial 0+. I put my card
- number in it, and it tells me my call can not be completed as dialed.
- This is a good way to get an operator on phones that do not allow
- access to one. You can tell the operator you dialed wrong and she'll
- get you any number or transfer you to a long distnace carrier.
-
- Some other numbers go, "DONG <AT&T>." Even if you have Sprint, MCI,
- or whatever, these local numbers give you AT&T. Hack and find out.
-
- You'll find loops, bizy's, tones, noise lines, all sorts of stuph.
- Just gotta play with it.
-
- 959 ON AN INTERSTATE LEVEL
- --------------------------
-
- Do these expirements. You might as well, they are free.
-
- Dial 512-959-2000.
- Neat.
- Dial 412-959-2000.
- Neater.
- Dial 313-959-2000.
- WOW. That's right, no matter what area code you dial, you'll get the
- same fucking thing. (MIND YOU, if you don't have AT&T and you shouldn't,
- dial 10288+the #)
-
- Now, dial XXX-959-1000. You'll get some fucked up noise. This line will
- hang forever. If you have 10 lines and you dial 512-959-1000, then on
- another line, you dial 512-959-1000 again, you'll get the same thing.
- But, the third time you do it, it'll be busy. If you ever need more than
- 2 lines to one of their numbers, just change area codes. So, with
- 512-959-1000 being bizy, dial 817-959-1000. It ain't bizy. Kool.
- Numbers scatterd through XXX-959-1XXX give you a veriety of test loops,
- noises, and all that good stuph. In addition, you'll hear circuit
- bizys, odd recordings. They've hidden the goodies. You'll be searching
- and get bored 'cuz you'll find nothing for a long time and then some
- weird number like 1983 will work. You have to expirement.
-
- XXX-959-2000 through like 2100 are people who work for AT&T's network
- services. Most don't even know they have 959 #'s. The system is so
- old and they don't use them anymore. You'll often get AT&T 800 or
- WATTS and SDN (software defined network).
-
- NOW, I GAVE YOU A WORM, GO FISH!
-
- Go hack it.
-
- WHAT TO DO IF YOU'RE CAUGHT
- ---------------------------
-
- No one has ever complained because I hacked 959; but, then again, AT&T
- doesn't even bother to have the AIC (Account Inquiry Center/Corp
- Security) call me anymore. They are well aware of my presence.
-
- Mind you, it is not illegal to dial numbers. They try to make you
- think it is. They say you were hacking. FUCK THEM. You weren't
- hacking, you made some dialing errors.
-
- IF AT&T should ever call you, say, "AT&T? Fuck you. You're overpriced
- and big. I use real long distance, I use MCI." BTW, you should never
- have AT&T as your carrier. MCI is better and it protects you. The
- Bell companies understand it when you tell them that AT&T is screwing
- with you and you don't even use their carrier.
-
- If AT&T threatens you ever about anything, just hang up. If they call
- back, write to your PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION or PUBLIC UTILITY
- COMMISSION. I'll be writing a file on that shortly. Also, write the
- FCC. Tell the PUC that you are not a customer of this big overpriced
- dumb monopoly and that AT&T is engaging in, "unjust, unreasonable
- and discriminatory harrassment and failure to cease and desist when
- demand was made." If they call once, tell the PUC they called 8 times.
- If they call twice, 16. They'll believe you. AT&T does it every day.
-
- WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR ME
- ----------------------
-
- If you find any goodies, please contact me on the internet at
- NOFRIENDS@AOL.COM I'd appreciate hearing from people. I'd be more
- than happy to exchange other secrets about the AT&T network for
- information. I'm not interested in codes, etc... just flaws,
- problems, neat numbers, etc...
