lately the PLA discussion board has been trying to make a new box, heres the
privacy box which automatically dials *67 for you whenever u pick up the phone,
its not a great phreaking trick or anything but it is useful:

guys the privacy box is really simple to make, heres what u need:

1 digital tape recorder
1 12volt normally closed SPST relay
1 phone

First take the digital tape recorder and record the tones for *67 and make
sure they work when u play them into the phone.  Now radio shack sells one for
like 20 bucks or something that has 1 button and like 16 seconds of talk time,
u only need 1 second really, but i think that one is pretty good. Ok now take
your digital recorder and open it up so you cansee the two contact that are
attached to the button, when u push the button the 2 contacts make a
connection (duh) and close the circuit, solder a wire to each contact, making
sure u dont soder them together, now soder those two wires to the output of
your relay. Next take the two imput contacts of your relay and wire them to
the red and green wires that are in your phone. What happens is when u pick up
the phone the voltage will drop below 12 volts which will close the relay
(thats why u need a normally closed) and closing the relay will activiate the
button on your tape recorder. You should wire the speaker of your tape
recorder directly to the black and white wires in your phone so that the tones
are sent directly over the line. Now whenever you pck up the phone it'll be
like u push the button and yay *67 = no trace!!!!
