A. Loops Explained:
A loop is a connection between two lines, they have a high and a low number. So basically when you call a person it goes to a switch board right? yes and no it also goes to a loop. The loop transfers your call to the other number in the switch.
B. 1-800 Collect Fraud:
1-800 Collect which is hosted by MCI is usually not targeted by phreakers. AT&T and Sprint are more likely targets but hell you can get free calls and that can be useful while trying to communicated with a party line or some pal who lives half a world away. The sequence for getting free service is below. First you have to be at a pay phone. Now dial a MCI calling code. I'll give it to you. 10222+0+718+123+4567 now the number you wish to call.
When the operator asks if you'd like to make a collect call please press.......... type "11". Now enter a deactivated credit card number example. 5371-5990-0600-2787 when it asks for the expiration date enter something like 01/98 or 01/99 for the zip code enter "00000" this will make the MCI computers that it's an overseas account and won't catch that it's deactivated.
C. 959 Numbers:
959 numbers are one of AT&T's oldest networks. They are used now for linesman testerlines mostly. What You can use them for are another way of exchange scanning. try numbes like 512-959-1XXX or 360-959-1XXX don't worry about the area codes because all the 959 numbers are free to call. If you ever get a bill it will be .99$ and don't pay it. AT&T might try to threaten you/etc. they are full of crap no matter what they say take my word for it. numbers after 959-2100 are people who work of at&t helpers/etc. most of them have no idea they have a 959 number. these numbers don't work in all areas and don't work from GTE,UNITED, or ALLTE payphones.
D. Exchange Scanning:
You can scan your local exchange to find dial ups, loops, etc. this is a very easy process, it just takes along time. use your local exchange like 425-353 or 360-794 then try numbers between 9900 and 9999 you may get lucky. In some areas you must scan numbers between 00XX and XX99 so in those areas you'd call 425-353-00XX
X=anything.
E. Pay phone Key:
To break into a coin box of a pay phone you'll need a small electric screw driver and a key which you can make. use the diagram below.
____
_______| |________

Once you've made it out of some crappy metal. screw a hole in the lower left side of the box. now insert this key in the front and turn to the right.
Once you've done this it's yours.
F. AT&T Answering Machines:
