PAYPHONE OVERVIEW Written by Blade ÄÍ GREENFONES ÍÄ These old rotary fones are very easy to phreak. Unfortunately they are becoming very rare as they are being ripped out to be replaced with cardfones. All you have to do is dial the number ya want and once it's ringing dial 0's. If the called party picks up the fone while your dialling you can speak for a few seconds then it will hang up. The reason it doesn't hang up straight away is it thinks your still dialling and soon as it realised your connected it will hang up. To get around this every few seconds dial 1 (the quickest pulse number) so it doesn't realise your connected and so it wont hang. This method takes some practice and is very annoying but hey, it's free... Another way to call for free from the ancient Greenfone is to zap the beast. To get a zapper all ya hafta do is jump your neighbours fence, find their gas-water heater and rip the 'zapper' out of it (it lights the pilot light). Just take your zapper, listen for the dialtone, zap the earpiece and tap the receiver. If you've been successful it won't beep and hangup (ie. you should have a continuous dialtone). Then dial away! ÄÍ BLUEFONES ÍÄ I haven't found a way to scam these fones. Zapping Bluefones kills them for good. I'm sure there's a maintenance code which lets you access various functions but i haven't been able to get it. ÄÍ GOLDFONES ÍÄ Goldfones are kool. All you hafta do with these is.. Lift handset, listen for dialtone, press the follow-on button (don't hold it down) then hold down the receiver. If you get a continuous dialtone then dial away. If the dialtone cut's out then let go of the receiver and do it again. You must hold down the receiver while connected or it will hang up. Another way to bypass the coin mechanism is to zap the earpiece. Once the LED screen display blanks out you can dial. Don't forget the owner will get the bill so don't do this at your parent's shop (well maybe)... ÄÍ CARDFONES ÍÄ Yet again the zapper comes into play. This works on coin/cardfones and cardfones. Insert a fonecard and place your call. Keep an eye on your credit and when your about to run out zap the ear/mouthpiece until the fone resets itself. Keep zapping until the fone starts to spit out your card. If you don't zap it enough it will take your valuable credit. The fone then dials a number and runs through some test and will be ready for your next call soon. I don't mind releasing this information as Greenfones are being replaced by Cardfones, Telecom is pushing Bluefones rather than Gold fones and it would cost too much to upgrade Cardfones. I cannot see this information killing these methods any quicker than before it was released.. Later all.. Blade. Greets to: Lucifer, Syntax, Anthrax, Jack Deth, Cairo.
