Here is a very simple way to either:
[1] Play an incredibly cruel and realistic joke on a phreaking friend.
-OR-
[2] Provide yourself with everything you ever wanted to be an AT&T person.
All you need to do is get your hands on some AT&T paper and/or business
cards. To do this you can either go down to your local business office and
swipe a few or call up somewhere like WATTS INFORMATION and ask them to send
you their information package. They will send you:
1. A nice letter (with the AT&T logo letterhead) saying "Here is the info."
2. A business card (again with AT&T) saying who the sales representative is.
3. A very nice color booklet telling you all about WATTS lines.
4. Various billing information. (Discard as it is very worthless)
Now take the piece of AT&T paper and the AT&T business card down to your
local print/copy shop. Tell them to run you off several copies of each, but
to
leave out whatever else is printed on the business card/letter. If they
refuse
or ask why, take your precious business elsewhere.
(This should only cost you around $2.00 total)
Now take the copies home and either with your typewriter, MAC, or Fontrix,
add whatever name, address, telephone number, etc. you like. (I would
recommend
just changing the name on the card and using whatever information was on there
earlier)
And there you have official AT&T letters and business cards. As mentioned
earlier, you can use them in several ways. Mail a nice letter to someone you
hate (on AT&T paper..hehehe) saying that AT&T is onto them or something like
that. (Be sure to use correct English and spelling) (Also do not hand write
the letter! Use a typewriter! - Not Fontrix as AT&T doesn't use OLD ENGLISH
or
ASCII BOLD when they type letters. Any IBM typewriter will do perfectly)
Another possible use (of many, I guess) is (if you are old enough to look
the part) to use the business card as some sort of fake id.
The last example of uses for the fake AT&T letters & b.cards is mentioned
in
my textfile, BASIC RADIO CALLING. Briefly, send the station a letter that
reads:
WCAT - FM202: (Like my examples? Haha!)
(As you probably know, radio stations give away things by accepting the 'x'
call. (ie: The tenth caller through wins a pair of Van Halen tickets)
Sometimes
they may ask a trivia question, but that's your problem. Anyway, the letter
continues:)
(You basically say that they have become so popular that they are getting
too
many calls at once from listeners trying to win tickets. By asking them to
call all at the same time is overloading our systems. We do, of course, have
means of handling these sort of matters, but it would require you sending us a
schedule of when you will be asking your listeners to call in. That way we
would be able to set our systems to handle the amount of callers you get at
peak times..(etc..etc..more BS..But you get the idea, right?)

Ok, so it probably won't work (DJs just aren't that dumb, unless you
really
do live in Nowheresville), but using AT&T paper and a business card might up
your chances some.
