Diverters pre- date call forwarding and simulate this custom calling feature with one major advantage. Unlike call forwarding, a diverted call may be intercepted while the phone rings or during conversation just by picking up the phone at the diverter location. After diverters became popular in the crime sector, they became a good way for professionals to recieve night time office calls at home. For this reason may diverters are only up at night. Locating Diverters: ------------------- 1 - You can recognize a diverter fairly easily. A diverter will ring usually one of two times then you may hear a tone, a moment of silence or a voice saying something like "Please hold you call is being transferred". On some diverters, there is no time laps before the second symptom. The second symptom is another ring... sometimes of a different type. Finally and fatally, if you wait after the person hangs up you will usually hear the diverter dial-tone within a few seconds. 2 - Diverters often belong to: A: Physicians B: Dentists C: Real Estate Offices D: Financial Advisers E: 24 Hour Air Cond. Repair F: 24 Hour Exterminators G: 24 Hour Heater Repair H: Insurance Agents I: Wreckers J: Anyone Else Of A 24 Hour Nature How A Diverter Works: --------------------- Simply put, a diverter is a small box connected to two phones. When phone #1 rings, the diverter picks up phone #2 dials a number on it and patches the two phones together. Flaws To A Diverter: -------------------- The most commonly known flaw is that if you hold on the line after being hung up on you will usually hear the diverter dial-tone and you can usually dial off of it. This is because you have not hung up on phone #1 and it is still connected to phone #2. Another flaw is even better. If one person rings phone #2, and another calls phone #1 the two parties will be connected. If either party hangs up, the other will get a dial-tone belonging to the other phone (usually). Often you will have to hit your "1" key. This simulates a dial-tone and fools the diverter into thinking that the phone is hung up. You can also sit ringing phone #2 and intercept their calls. One diverter I found belonged to a mail order place and I intercepted calls, obtained credit card numbers, then placed the orders myself so that noone would know what happened.
