THIS FILE MAINLY DEALS W/PHREAKING
THROUGH 800 EXTENDERS
=======================================
1> NEVER, NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER KEEP A CODE COMPLETELY TO YOURSELF!
CONSIDER THIS: IF YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE TO USE A PHREAK, THEN YOU AND ONLY
YOU CAN BE PROSECUTED.
2> THE SAFEST PHREAK IS A KNOWN PHREAK
3> NEVER USE A CODE TO ABUSIVENESS. IF POSSIBLE, IF YOU ARE A GOOD PHREAK
THEN IT IS,ONLY USE A CODE ONCE OR TWICE. THEN DISCARD IT.
4> HAVE MORE THAN ONE WORKING CODE HANDY AT ALL TIMES.
5> HAVE MORE THAN ONE 800 EXTENDER AT YOUR DISPOSAL (WITH CODES OF COURSE).
6> BE <<< VERY >>> CAREFUL ABOUT GIVING OUT CODES AND WHO YOU GIVE THEM
TO (OBVIOUSLY). IT IS GOOD TO HAVE OTHERS (AND I STRESS NOT LOCAL TO
YOU) HAVING A CODE, BUT BETTER TO GIVE OUT THAT CODE WITH OTHERS NOT
KNOWING WHO YOU ARE (EVEN YOUR USUAL HANDLE).
7> DON'T WRITE FILES ABOUT PHREAKING!! THERE'S ENOUGH OF US DOING IT AS IT
IS!
LET ME CLEAR A FEW THINGS UP
THE PHONE COMPANY HAS A COMPLETE RECORD OF EVERY CALL THAT HAS EVER
BEEN MADE FROM YOUR HOUSE. YOUR "PHONE HISTORY" INCLUDES ALL CALLS
EXCEPT 800 CALLS. WHY THEN DON'T 800 #'S SHOW UP ON YOUR FONE BILL?
OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T COST YOU ANYTHING. NOW, THE TELCO DOES NOT,
HOWEVER, CHECK EVERYONE'S RECORD TO SEE IF THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING EXCESSIVE
AMOUNTS OF 800 CALLS. THAT WOULD BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE (THINK OF HOW MANY
PEOPLE ARE AT&T SUBSCRIBERS)!
ANYHOW, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE AMOUNT OF 800 PHONE CALLS YOU MAKE
GREATLY INCREASES IS THIS . . .
A TROUBLE CARD SHOWS UP ON THE COMPUTER WITH YOUR NAME ON IT (YOUR
FAMILY'S THAT IS). A TROUBLE CARD IS NOT JUST FOR THINGS LIKE THAT THOUGH.
A TROUBLE CARD IS MERELY A WARNING THAT SOMETHING IS FUCKED UP SOMEWHERE. BE
IT A DOWNED LINE, AN UNPAID BILL, OR JUST ABOUT ANY "TROUBLE" IE. THE NAME
"TROUBLE CARD".
A TROUBLE CARD WILL NOT POP UP IF ONE MONTH YOU MAKE A FEW 800 FONE
CALLS, TROUBLE CARDS WORK ON A PERCENTAGE BASIS OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF
TIME, ONE MONTH USUALLY. FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU INCREASE THE NUMBER OF 800
CALLS YOU MAKE EACH MONTH BY BUT A FRACTION, THEN CHANCES ARE A TROUBLE CARD
WILL NEVER SHOW UP IF, HOWEVER, YOU GO FROM MAKING TWO 800 CALLS A MONTH
TO MAKING 200 CALLS A MONTH YOU ARE NOT ONLY IN TROUBLE, YOU ARE VERY
STUPID.
IF YOU NORMALLY MAKE ONE THOUSAND 800 EXTENDER FONE CALLS A MONTH, BE
IT FOR YOUR COMPANY ETC., THEN A TROUBLE CARD WILL NOT SHOW UP BECAUSE THAT
IS WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DOING.
I HOPE THIS FILE HAS CLEARED A FEW MISUNDERSTANDINGS ABOUT JUST WHAT
THE FONE COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT 800 EXTENDERS AND HOW THEY KNOW YOU USE THEM.
I WOULD HAVE MADE THIS FILE LONGER, BUT I JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME
JUST THEN!
