+-------------------------------+ |===============================| | | | PHONE MODDING | | | | By: Phil | | | |===============================| +-------------------------------+ Disclaimer| ----------+ This text file does not really need a disclaimer. I don't really care what you do. Have fun!!! Introduction| ------------+ In no way do I claim to be the first to think of this. I have seen it done many times by many people. But I have yet to see a textfile written about it. So since i'm bored I'll throw in my 2 cents on the matter. Computer modding has become very popular in the computer world today. People do random and often times uneccesary things to there computers. From changing the case to adding blinking lights to installing a built in blender, its all been done. Many of the same concepts can be applied to phreaking( except maybe more practical ideas). This isn't a strict guideline; its just some ideas to get you thinking. How to make your phone lighter| ------------------------------+ Have you ever taken a phone apart? If not do it now; if you have you may have notice a large chunck of metal is the base. They put that in there to keep the phone stationary, but this is unecessery for beige boxing. So remove this peice of lead by unscrewing it( some aren't even screwed in, which makes an easy task easier). Don't throw the lead away, start a collection. Soon you will have a whole room full of lead phone weights. These can also be melted down and made into bullets( or thown at people and/or things). LED Backlight Mod| -----------------+ You know those green backlights on the keypad? If your sick of them, they can be replaced with any color of the rainbow cheaply and easily with minimal equipment. The Materials Needed Are: Phone(I prefere the "freedom phone" or the "favorite") Screwdriver 2 LED's(check you phone to see the size) Soldering Iron Solder(duh) Now that you have the items needed, its time to take it apart. The headsets can be EXTREMELY annoying to take apart without breaking it( this depends on the phone you have). Once you have it apart, remove the LED's.Put your new ones in and resolder. Put the phone back together and plug it in. If it work congradulations, if not you're a failure in life and a discrace to your family. A New Look| ----------+ A regular phone isn't very compicated. The base has very little circuitry, and because of this it can be munipulated into a much smaller space. You can put it in a plain box, a Tape player, a tube of butter, ect. Just unscrew the circuitry and put it in its new container. You must make a button or switch to hang up the phone. Conclusion| ----------+ Many of the above ideas are commonsense, and really need no instruction. But perhaps this file will help someone or give you some ideas. If nothing else, you'll be the only kid on the block with a yellow and red backlighten phone.
