OK, now that that shit is out of the way, on to the phile.  I think I am the 
first to pioneer this type of fraud, so I hope that this reaches far & wide.  
Now, this comes from a prank I played in school on the answering machine, it 
was a helluv phunny joke!  Anyways, what I did was:

1. (optional) Observe type of answering machine and get all available 
information on it.

2. Get the telephone number you wish to wreak havoc upon.

3. Dial the number after office hours.

4. During the recording, start pressing various numbers (to get the Remote 
Code, if you have completed step one you will know exactly how many numbers 
you will need to press in; on many systems it is only one number so press "1" 
for two seconds, listen to see if the recording has stopped and if you hear a 
mechanical voice, then go on to "2", etc. etc. ad nauseum... Sometimes you 
will have to press in two numbers in succession to activate the Remote Mode, 
with this I have had the most luck trying "12", "34", "56", etc., and also 
"23", "45", "67", etc.

5.  If at any point in your hacking the code, the recording suddenly stops and
/or you hear a mechanical voice, you're in.  The voice should say something 
like: "Hello, you have no messages. You may hang up and I will reset, or enter 
remote code again to [note IMPORTANT ==>] RECORD A NEW GREETING [<==]." If it 
has messages, it will give you appropriate instructions, like "press remote 
code to hear messages," then after you heard 'em it'll say "enter remote code 
to save messages or else hold on to delete 'em".  Anyways, that is one type of 
vandalism, you can delete a big corp's important messages, but I would not 
suggest this.  Read on....

6. Now you can capitalize on this.  Most answering machines have a feature 
that will let you record the greeting from a different phone.  Use this 
feature, and say this: 
"ATTENTION OPERATOR, THIS NUMBER ACCEPTS ALL THIRD-PARTY BILLING CALLS."
Now follow any instructions to save that and select it as the main greeting.

7. Now, from any phone you can call the operator and say:
"I'd like to make a call to (your LD phriend's #) and bill it third party to 
(the number who's answering machine you hacked)" The operator will ask you to 
hold, and will call the number, and when she gets the answering machine and 
hears that message, you have just sucessfully pulled off a Phone Phraud (tm).
