Getting Money out of Pay Phones by the Jolly Roger
|
|
|
|
I will now share with you my experiences with pay telephones. You will discover
|
|
that it is possible to get money from a pay phone with a minimum of effort.
|
|
Theory: Most pay phones use four wires for the transmission of data and
|
|
codes to the central office. Two of them are used for voice (usually red and
|
|
green), one is a ground, and the last is used with the others for the
|
|
transmission of codes.
|
|
It is with this last wire that you will be working with. On the pay phone that
|
|
I usually did this to, it was colored purple, but most likely will be another
|
|
color.
|
|
What you will do is simply find a pay phone which has exposed wires, such that
|
|
one of them can be disconnected and connected at ease without
|
|
fear of discovery. You will discover that it is usually a good idea to
|
|
have some electrical tape along with you and some tool for cutting this
|
|
tape.
|
|
Through trial and error, you will disconnect one wire at a time starting with
|
|
the wires different than green and red. You do want a dial tone during
|
|
this operation.
|
|
What you want to disconnect is the wire supplying the codes to the telephone
|
|
company so that the pay phone will not get the 'busy' or 'hang-up' command.
|
|
Leave this wire disconnected when you discover it.
|
|
What will happen: Anytime that someone puts any amount of money into the pay
|
|
phone, the deposit will not register with the phone company and it
|
|
will be held in the 'temporary' chamber of the pay phone.
|
|
Then, (a day later or so) you just code back to the phone, reconnect the wire,
|
|
and click the hook a few times and the phone will dump it all out the shute.
|
|
(What is happening is that the 'hangup' code that the phone was not
|
|
receiving due to the wire being disconnected suddenly gets the code and
|
|
dumps its' 'temporary' storage spot.)
|
|
You can make a nice amount of money this way, but remember
|
|
that a repairman will stop by every few times it is reported broken and
|
|
repair it, so check it at least once a day.
|
|
Enjoy and have fun.. Many phones I have done this to, and it works
|
|
well with each..
