White Box Plans
(Uploaded by Agrajag the Prolonged)
This article will tell you how to change a normal touch tone keypad and conv
ert it to a portable unit. In addition, we give the touch-tone frequencies.
First of all, the tones made by a touch tone telephone are not single tones, the
y are a combination of two tones, making "DTMF" (dual tone multi-frequency). The
normal tone telephone dials 12 different signals, but is capable of dialing 16
different signals (see bulletin on silver boxes).
The power required by a keypad is about 25 volts, but they will work with as
little as 15, thereby allowing the use of two 9-volt radio batteries. As you m
ay have guessed, they are also designed to operate with a telephone type speaker
(and phone line), and not the standard 8-ohm speaker which needs to be used for
adequate volume. To accompolish this, we use a matching transformer, this is o
ne of those miniature ones available at Radio Shack. Enough of the theory, now
for the circuit.
You will need:
A touch tone keypad
A miniature 1000 to 8 ohm transformer (Radio Shack # 273-1380)
A standard 8-ohm speaker
Two 9-volt radio batteries
Two 9-volt battery clips
A case to put it all in (optional)
A few construction notes, I suggest that you solder and tape all connection
s. It is also important to read this entire bulletin before attempting to const
ruct this...
First, connect the RED wire of the transformer to either terminal on the sp
eaker. Now connect the WHITE wire from the transformer to the other terminal on
the speaker. Next, connect the RED (positive) wire of one battery clip to the
black wire of the other battery clip. Now connect the the remaining RED wire on
the second battery clip to the GREEN wire from the touch tone pad. Connect the
BLUE wire from the touch tone pad to the ORANGE-and-BLACK striped wire from the
touch tone pad. To these two wires, now connect the remaining black lead from
first battery clip. You have now finished the power connection to the keypad.
Connect the BLACK wire from the keypad to the BLUE wire on the transformer. Nex
t connect the RED-and-GREEN striped wire from the keypad to the GREEN wire on th
e transformer. The BLACK wire on the transformer should not be connected to any
thing, along with quite a few wires from the keypad. The connection of the key
pad is now complete. All you have to do is connect two nine volt batteries to t
he battery clips, and you'll be ready to go. You may want to mount it in a case
for easy portability. Note that the silver box modification CAN be made to this
unit, allowing complete remote phreaking. When none of the buttons are presse
d, this unit uses NO power, thereby eliminating the need for a power switch, and
extending the life of the batteries.
The following are the frequency combinations generated by each button on the
keypad.

- How to build a BLACK BOX *

- *
- **************************************
For all who dare----
What is a BLACK BOX? A BLACK BOX is a device that is hooked up to your
fone that fixes your fone so that when you get a call, the caller doesn't get
charged for the call. This is good for calls up to 1/2 hour, after 1/2 hour
the Fone Co. gets suspicious, and then you can guess what happens.
The way it works:
What this little beauty does is keep the line voltage from droppZo to
10v when you answer your fone. The line is insted kept at 36v and it will
make the fone think that it is still ringing while your talking. The reason
for the 1/2 hour time limit is that the Fone CO. thinks that something is wrong
after 1/2 an hour of ringing.
All parts are available Radio Shack. Using the least possible parts
and arangement, the cost is $0.98 !!!! And that is parts for two of them!
Talk about a deal! If you want to splurge then you can get a small PC
board, and a switch. There are two schematics for this box, one is for
most normal fones. The second one is for fones that don't work with the
first. It was made for use with a Bell Trimline touch tone fone.

very easy to hook up.

Once you have hooked up all the parts, you must figure out what set of
wires go to the line and which go to the fone. This is because of the fact
that LED's must be 0ut in, in a certain direction. De0ending on which way you
0ut the LED is what controls what wires are for the line & fone.
How to find out:
Hook up the box in one direction using one set of wires for line and the
other for fone.
- NOTE* For Model I switch should be OFF.
- NOTE* For Model ][ switch should be
set to side connecting the led.
Once you have hooked it up, then Pick up the fone and see if the LED is
on. If it is, the LED will be lit. If is doesn't light then switch the wires
and try again. Once you know which are which then label them. *NOTE* - If
neither directions worked then your switch was in the wrong 0osition. Now
lable the switch in its current
Position as BOX ON.
How to use it:
The 0ur0ose of this box is not to poeple who call you so it would make
sence that it can only be used to receive! calls. When the box is *ON*
then you may only recieve calls. Your fone will ring like normal and the LED
on the box will flash. If you answer the fone now, then the LED will light an
d the caller will not be charged. Hao up the fone after you are done talking
like normal. You will not be able to get a dial-tone or call when
the box is on, so turn the box *OFF* for normal calls. I don't recommend
that you leave it on all the time, as you don't want it to answer when Ma
Bell calls!

--------------------------------------
The purpose of a silver box is to blow information operators off the line
via fourth column tones, the 'c' key fucks the billing timers on
international calls.
Method Number One:
-----------------
tools and materials:
soldering iron,some 22ga wire, a spdt switch, a screwdriver, and a few brains
1)unscrew your phone (must be touch)
2)remove the mounted pad and take the clear plastic cover from the
bottom
3)hold the pad with the numbers 0,*,# facing you, and turn it upside
down, so you can see the pc board.
4)you should see 2 black doughnuts
5)position the board so the solder points from the left, and attach a
(green) wire to that point.
6)count over 4 points from the left and attach a (green) wire to that
point.
7)between you and the doughnuts, there should be 2 long yellow
capacitors to the right of these, and on the edge of the board
should be 3 soldering contacts we will use the one on the left.
8)the contact is origionally spot welded, so snip it open. to the one
nearest you attach a (red) wire to the other one, a (yellow) wire.
9)run the wires out of the phone, and solder the switch!
10)the orientation should be (red) to center, the switch will now
alternate between normal and 1633hz fourth column tones.
---------------------------------------
Method Number Two:
-----------------
Here is another way to construct a silver box using a momentary contact
switch and a few jumper wires in any touch tone trimline phone. by adding
the "frequency shift" key you can silver box and add a slight mod to the
circutry to add bluebox tones. if you don't have a trimline phone, any
decent holiday motel/hotel has one in every room, one snip and its yours.
To convert the trimline pad to silver tones flip the tone panel over and
run a jumper from screw 2 to screw 4, then locate the tone coils contacts
on the board. they should be in a box pattern between screws 1 and 5.
one side of the soldered row will be traced to 3 contacts on one side and
4 on the other in this pattern:
!1 !2
!3 !4
!5 !6
*!7 !8
!9 !10
!11 !12
!13 !14
!15 !16
Put a jumper wire with a momentary shift switch between 9 and 16.
you will produce the tone of 4th row columns which are the same tones
phone co. employees use with their trunk phones. by touching the wire
you place on #16 11,13,15 you will get the tones for touch tone columns
1,2,3. you must also add an actuator pin to the open boxed contacts on
the bottom of the keypad. by doing this you will add power to the unit
and whenever you push the "shift key" it transforms keys 3,6,9,# to
a,b,c,d. those tones (codes) stand for:
"a" - flash
"b" - flash overide (priority
"c" - priority communication
"d" - priority override (top military)
Those keys will only work on certain phone networks if they dont work you
need a pink noise generator.
So what do you use these codes for? you call any long distance directory
by dialing (area code) 555-1212 and while it rings press the # key the as
the operator answers you will disconnect them instantly (ha ha) and hear
a pulsing tone, press 6 (normal) and if another person does the same
thing, on another line and then presses 7 you should have a voice link,
414 a/c is good for one and can screw around with the tones and see what
you get.

The idea for the Clear box comes from an article in the newsletter 2600.
The clear box works on 'post pay' coin phones, pay phones that require money
only after the connection has been made. The way this works is: After the conne
ction is made the mouthpiece of the phone is muted but not the earpiece, free ca
lls to dial-it services can be made with these phones.
In order to talk to the person you called without
paying (NOTE: It is against the law to do this!!)
Take yourself down to your nearby electronics store and get
a four transistor amplifier and a telephone suction cup
inductive pick-up. Put the pick-up on the earpiece and plug
it into the output of the amplifier, and plug a microphone
into the input. You then talk into your microphone and
listen normally through the earpiece.
Radio Shack sells an item that wont need much
modification,and that should work the same as the above
construction. It is their 'Portable snap-on handset
amplifier' (Part # 43-238) Their description says to
put it on the earpiece and it will boost the callers voice
to five times the normal level. In order to make this
function like a clear box one would have to take the
amplifier apart and remove the internal speaker, in
it's place, connect the suction cup inductive pickup.
Place the pick-up (which is now the speaker) to the
earpiece of the payphone, and talk into the microphone
of the amplifer.
The line will not cut off, and will wait forever
for you to put the coins in.
Note also that these types of payphones are not
connected to the tsps in the same way as normal payphones.
The phone does all the charging and not the Central Office.
It is because of this, that a phone connected to the
lines BEFORE the payphone would act just like a normal phone.
So get out your smallest phone, cut off the jack and strip the
wires. connect the wires to two alligator clips. Then you can
clip onto the payphone's wires BEFORE they connect to the payphone, you then hav
e a normal telephone line that you dont pay the bills on!

/=\Typed by:Sir Knight/=\
A Cheesebox(named for the type of box the first one was found in)is a
type of box which will, in effect, make your telephone a Pay-Phone.....This is
a simple,modernized, and easy way of doing it....
Inside Info:These were first used by bookies many years ago as a way of
making calls to people without being called by the cops or having their
numbers traced and/or tapped......
How To Make A Modern Cheese Box
Ingredients:
------------
1 Call Forwarding service on the line
1 Set of Red Box Tones
The number to your prefix's Inter-
cept operator(do some scanning for
this one)
How To:
-------
After you find the number to the intercept operator in your prefix, use your
call-forwarding and forward all calls to her...this will make your phone stay o
ff the hook(actually, now it waits for a quarter to be dropped in)... You now ha
ve a cheese box...
In Order To Call Out On This Line:
You must use your Red Box tones and generate the quarter dropping in...t
hen,you can make phone calls to people...as far as I know, this is fairly safe,
and they do not check much...

How to Build a HOLD BUTTON-
1. YOU CAN EITHER DO THIS FROM THE WALL BOX OR FROM THE INSIDE OFF YOUR PHONE. F
IRST TAKE THE RED AND GREEN WIRES AND STRIP DOWN A PIECE OF WIRE SO YOU CAN ADD
ANOTHER PIECE OF WIRE TO IT.
2. ONCE YOU HAVE THE OTHER PIECE'S OF WIRE ADDED TO THEM GET A TWO WAY TOGGLE S
WITCH SO THAT YOU CAN SWITCH THEM FROM HOLD TO TALK POSITION
3. TAKE THE TWO EXTRA PIECES OF WIRE AND HOOK THE ONE THAT IS HOOKED TO THE GRE
EN TO ONE OF THE TERMINALS ON ONE SIDE AND THE RED WIRE TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
TERMINAL.
