FINISH C/H, 2pINCH" nails. pThese are about 3/32pof an inch in diameter and 2 inchesnlong (of course). pYou also need a large size paper clip. By large pI mean they are about 2 inchesnnlong (FOLDED). Then you unfold the paper clip. Unfold itpby taking each piece and moving itpout 90 degrees. pWhen itpis done itpshould lookpsomewhat like this: atatn:n:ucucp p p p p p p/----ththas\ atatn:n:ucucp p p p p p p: p p p p p: atatn:n:ucucp p p p p p p: p p p p p: atatn:n:ucucp p p p p p p: p p p p p: atatn:n:ucucp p p p p p p: p p p p p: atatn:n:ucucp p p p p p p p p T Towo\hthasucp p Now, pon to the neatpstuff. pWhatpyou do, pinsteadpof unscrewing the glued-on mouthpiece, pis pinsert the nailpinto the center hole of the mouthpiece (where you talk) and push itpin with pressure or just hammer itpin by hitting the nailpon something. Just DON'T KILL THE MOUTHPIECE!pYou could damage pit if you insert the nailptoo far or atp somep weird angle. pIf this happens then the other party won'tpbe able to hear whatpyou say. You now have a hole in the mouthpiece in which you can easily insert the paper clip. So, take out the nailpand put in the paper clip. Then take the other end of the paper clippand shove itpunder the rubber cord protector at the bottom of the handset (you know, the blue guy...). This should end up looking remotely like...like this: atatn:n:ucucp p p p p /----ththas\p p p Mouthpiece atatn:n:ucucp p p p p : p p p p p:p p ucp p p p p Paper clippas>p : p p p p p:p pp / atatn:n:ucucp p p p p : p p p/---:has\ atatn:n:ucucp p p p p :p p p :p p:p ucp p p p p n:ucucp p p p p :----ththasas> ucp p p ====s s eaeacaca l l\hth))): atatn:n:ucucp p p p p p p p p:p To earpiece s> ucp p p p p roro d dr r ptpt h h p ^ r ptpt h h p ^ ucp p p p p roro d dr r ptpt h h p \----ththasasththasas> ucp p p atatn:n:ucucp p p p p : p p p p p p p: atatn:n:ucucp p p p p p p p p: p p p p p p p:n:ucucp p atatn:n:ucucp p p p p p p p pCord p p p p pBlue guy (The paper clippis shoved under the blue guy to make a good pconnection between the inside of the mouthpiece and the metal cord.) Now, pdial the number of a local number you wish to call, psayyyy,p MCI. pIf everything goesnokay,pitpshould ring and not answer with the "The CallpYou Have Made Requires a 20 Cent Deposit" recording. After the other end answers the phone, remove the paper clip. pIt's allp that simple, see? There are a couple problems, however. pOne pis, as I mentioned earlier, the mouthpiece not working after you punch it. pIf this p happens to you, psimply move on to the next payphone. pThe one you are now on is lost. Another problem is that the touch tonesnwon'tpwork when the paper clippis in the mouthpiece. There are two ways around this.. A>pDial the first 6 numbers. pThis should be done without the paper clippmaking the connection,pi.e., one side should not be connected. Then connect the paper clip, hold down the last digit, and slowly pull the paper clip out at the mouthpiece's end. B>pDon'tp use the paper clippat all. pKeep the nailp in after you punch it. Dial the first 6 digits. pBefore dialing the last digit, touch the nailpheadpto the plate on the main body of the phone, the money safe thingy..then press the last number. The reason that this method is sometimesncalled pclear boxing is because there is another type of phone which lets you actually make the callp and listen to thempsay "Hello, phello?" but itp cuts off the mouthpiece so they can'tphear you. pThe Clear Box is used pon that pto amplify your voice signals and send it through the earpiece.pIf you see how this pis even slightly similarpto the methodpI have just described up there, kindly explain itpto ME!! Cause I don'tpGET IT! Anyways, this DOES workpon almost allpsingle slot, Dial Tone First payphones (PacificpBell for sure). pI do itpallpthe time. pThis pis pthe least, I STRESS *LEAST*, risky form of Phreaking. atatn:n:ucucp p p hthasasththasasJolly Roger
