How to Reach Operators that can only be reach via a Blue Box
Dial 0, when the operator comes on say this is the TSPS Maintenance Keypouse,
you may also say this is the TSPS Maintenance Keypouse Forward, Anyways after
saying that give her an Area Code then say 121 then say you may position to
release than say Thank you.
Sample: Hi this is the TSPS Maintenance Keypouse 305 121 you may positon to
release, Thank you.
Ok so after all this bullshit you gave her she will connect you with the
inward operator of the area code you gave her (in this case is 305), When
you get connected with the inward operator to that area code tell her what
ever you want to do. Below are some routing numbers their meanings and how
to talk to an inward operator to assist you in doing what you want her to do.

Part I
1. Introduction
The Bell system, as it is today, offers a wealth of opportunities for
phreaks. However, Bell doesn't like us to have access to these niffties, so
they hide many special services in that vast block of non-standard numbers
which a customer cannot normally dial.
Thats what this tutorial is all about, the non-standard numbers which
Bell hides from us. We'll take a look first at the Network structure, then the
numbering plan for North America, then at Routing and System codes, including
operaters, test lines, OUTWATS, international calling, and more.
2. Structure of the Network
The Bell system is organized as a hierarchal network with 5 levels.
The lowest level, or class 5 office, is the End-Office (EO from here on).The
EO is also called the central exchange, wire center, or central office.This is
where all the subscriber lines are connected for a given exchange number.Each
EO can handle at least 10,000 lines; #5 ESS can handle upto 100,000.Calls
between subscribers in the same EO are connected internally and never leave
the building whereas calls between subscribers in different EO's travel over
inter-exchange trunk lines.Calls that never go higher than the class 5 office
or Tandem office (hold on, I'm getting to it) are local and therefore free.
In large NPA's that have many EO's, it is uneconomical for each EO
to have at least 12 trunks (the minimum laid at a time) to every other EO.
Imagine,in a city with 600 EO's, there would be 17970 inter-office trunk
cables to maintain! There simply aren't that many simultaneous conversations
going on at any given time, so many trunks would be unused. Instead, Bell has
adopted an intermediate switching level called the Tandem Office. A tandem
Office is to the EO's as a EO is to its subscribers. Local traffic between 2
EO's which don't have direct connecting trunk lines passes through the Tandem
office. Under this scheme, a city of 600 EO's would only require 600 inter-
office trunk cables, that is quite a reduction!
Subscribers in different NPA's (Numbering Plan Areas, or area codes)
are connected through the Toll Network. The first level in the Toll Network is
the class 4 office, or Toll Center (TC from here on). Each exchange has
dedicated trunks that connect it to the TC that serves it, so a cable map would
look like a star with all the exchanges having a cable to a central point.Once
a call has reached the TC, it does one of four things:
1. It immediately leaves the TC for the called exchange.This ussually
is the case if the parties are served by the same TC but are not
local to each other.
2. It leaves the first TC over trunks in the High-Usage-Trunk-Group
for the TC serving the called party where it then reaches the
called exchange.This is the case during non-peak hours.
3. It leaves the TC over trunks in the Final-Trunk-Group for the
primary center (to be discussed in a moment).This route is followed
when all the High-Usage-Trunks are busy.
4. If none of the above choices were taken, then all the trunks are
busy. The calling line either gets a re-order tone (fast busy), or
a recording saying all circuits are busy.
After the TC,there are three higher levels that function in exactly
the same way.Each level can connect to any other level.As you can see, a call
can climb a "communications ladder", going from Toll Center to primary center
to sectional center to regional center and back down again to reach the called
party.In order, the overall structure of the Network is:
class 5 office - End office or Exchange
class 4 office - Toll Center 508 as of 1983
class 3 office - Primary center 148 as of 1983
class 2 office - Sectional center 52 as of 1983
class 1 office - Regional center 10 as of 1983
3. Numbering Plan of North America
3. Numbering Plan of North America
When Bell introduced Direct Distance Dialing (DDD) in the 1960's, they
set a standard for telephone numbers. Any subscriber anywhere in the United
States can reach any other subscriber by dialing a 10 or 11 digit " Network
Address." The format for a standard (that is, customer dialable) number is a
three digit area code followed by a 3 digit End-office code followed by a 4
digit station number. In some areas, it is necessary to dial a preceding 1 to
identify the call as long distance.Symbolically,numbers can be represented by:
X - Any digit 0 to 9
N - any digit 2 to 9
Z - 0 or 1
area code - NZX
exchange - usually NNX, but some are NZX (like an area code in appearance)
station - XXXX
Bell also defined 200 special codes in each area code that a customer
cannot normally dial.These codes perform system functions, request operaters,
an influence the route a call takes.In addition, each Toll Center has a routing
code that lets you force the call to pass through it (more on this later).They
are in the format of:
Special codes- ZXX (all routing and system codes are in this format)
operaters - 1X1 (such as 101,121,131,141,191,etc)
Toll centers - 0XX
4. Operaters, routing codes, OutWats, and International calling
Many special operaters exist in the Bell system.Some of them, like
CN/A operaters, have standard, customer dialable numbers. However, many others
can only be reached via the appropriate routing/system code.These are......
(an optional area code can be put in front of them.i.e. KP+301+121+ST to get
an inward for Maryland):
101 - Toll Center test board (Toll maintainance personnel). These people
are great for social engineering because they almost never get
suspicious calls from phreaks.I think they can perform traces of
customers lines for you.
121 - Inward operater. This operater assists the Toll and assistance
("0") operater in making emergency interruptions to numbers in
other area codes.They can also complete a normal call or, if you
ask them for "loop around" numbers, they will give you the numbers
of working loops.To get an emergency interruption, say:
"I need an emergency interruption on 301-555-1212.My party's name
is Bill Smith."
131 - Directory assistance for Toll and Assistance operaters. This is
just a supped up version of the 555-1212 directory assistance
operater.The only difference that I know of is that they can do
emergency interruptions.
141 - Rate & Route operater. Reach at 800-141-1212.
To find out... (quoted from Bioc's Basic Telecommunications VII)
1)Area codes
say: "Miami,Florida (any city), numbers route please."
response: "305 plus" (meaning 305 is the area code)
2)Inward operater numbers (usually 121, but can have a prefix)
say: "916-756 (any NPA-EXG), operater route please"
response: "916 plus 001 plus" (meaning 916-001-121)
3)City names
say: "Place name,301-340 (any NPA-EXG),please"
response: "Rockville, Maryland"
4)International Directory Assistance numbers
say: "International,London,England (any city), TSPS
directory route,please"
response: "Directory to London,England.Country code 44 plus 1
plus 986 plus 3611"
5)Country and City codes
say: "International,Sydney,Australia (any city), TSPS
numbers route,please."
response: "Country code 61 plus 2"
6)International inward operaters
say: "International,London,England (any city),TSPS inward
route, please."
response: "Country code 44 plus 121"
7)Language Assistance operaters (use with foriegn inward,not R&R)
say: "United States calling. Language assistance in
completing a call to <called person's name> at
<person's number>."
151 - Overseas incoming (NPA 212 and 914)
161 - Trouble reporting operater. Reach at 800-161-1212
The following operaters only exist in certain area codes (212 for example):
11501 - Universal cordboard operater
11511 - TSPS conference operater (not the same as an Alliance operater)
11521 - Mobile operater
11531 - Marine operater
11541 - Long Distance incoming switchboard
11551 - Leave word for time and charges
11561 - Sames as above but for Hotels/Motels
11571 - Overseas operater.Language assistance.
The Bell system also hides many test and routing numbers from it's
customers in the ZXX series.A few of them are listed below.
001 - Trunk access system.Usually used as a prefix before another code.
009 - Rate quote system. Gives the toll and assistance operater rate
information.Although I don't know the command format, I know it
accepts MF for control.Most area codes have this system function,
but 713 does for sure.
011 - prefix for international calling
080 - Alliance Teleconferencing Toll Center code in many areas.(213)
100 - loop, tone side
103 - loop, dead side
105 - verification (Long-Short beep)
191 - International operater in some areas,911 emergency system in others
11601 - another inward in some areas (212)
11611 - Computer that checks Calling Cards in 212. After the bong, enter
the calling card number in DTMF and if it's valid you will get a
message saying so.
As mentioned previously, each Toll Center in the network has a 3 digit
code in the form of 0XX. This is used primarily when dealing with area codes
that cover more than 1 major city. For example, Alaska has just the 907 area
code, but more than 1 major city. To reach an inward or Toll Center test board
for the appropriate city, you have to enter the Toll Center code for that city.
Otherwise, the switching equipement won't know which of the major cities is
wanted. KP+907+101+ST won't work, you have to dial KP+907+054+101+ST if you
want to reach the Test board in Ankorage. The 054 code forces the call to
go through the Toll Center there.
International dialing in the Bell system is accomplished by calling up
one of the 7 international senders and then dialing the international number.
The sender codes and their locations are:
182 - White Plains, New York
183 - New York, New York
184 - Pittsburg, Pensylvania
185 - Orlando, Florida
186 - Oakland, California
187 - Denver, Colorado
188 - New York, New York (again)
There are two ways to get to a sender.The simplest way is to dial
KP+sender code+ST (i.e. KP+188+ST). A prefix area code is sometimes required
(i.e. KP+213+188+ST).Another way which arouses less suspicion, is to use the
011 international dialing prefix.To use it, dial KP+011+0+country code+ST
(i.e. KP+011+081+ST for Japan). Again, a prefix area code is often.
......The Dream Awaited by a hacker........
Here are the procedures on how to monitor someone's number, with this
technique you can find out what other people are calling to, simply follow
the following instructions..
Dial 1-800-541-3825 Enter this Password:727
Enter the Area Code of the number to be monitor
Enter the time it is
Press 1 for ON or 2 for OFF (1=night)(0=day)
now enter the eleven digit 1xxxxxxxxxx
0xxxxxxxxxx
Hints: The only thing that's left for this to work is the elen digit code
which is very hard to obtain, well here its a hint on it it can only
start with a 1 or a 0, if you enter the worng code it will say we'll
sorry your call cannot be completed as dial. (whatver)..also if you get
the code right the computer will give you a number to call and also an
eighteen digit password which you will need when you call the number.
that number tells you all the numbers that were dial from the number you are monitoring....
PS.. The time should be enter in this format lets say its 5 o'clock
so the format for that will be 500 lets say its 12:30 the format for
this will be 1230
