How not to pay for telephone calls.
Tried out for two years in the USSR
and six years in European countries.
Why I decided to talk about it all?
This method can only be used for
long distances, ie for long-distance communication. The basis
of my secret based on a very simple idea: you know what when
you type rotary dialer (dial pulse system) "1", the line is
interrupted once when the "7", the line was suspended seven
times, when "0" - 10 times. I began to watch what would happen
if a line break more than ten times. To implement this idea, I
used my first computer (8-bit "Enterprise-128",
which had a connector for software control of the tape, in my
case instead of a tape recorder was connected to telephone
line).
In short, I will not describe all of its research for the
sake of brevity. Magic was the number "15". If you've got it
correctly, should have realized the fact that is the number of
interruptions the telephone line. Here how to use:
8 + tone + the magic number of 15 + city code + phone
number
So, to make free calls to Moscow on
phone 921-00-00, I typed:
8 magic number 15-095-921-00-00.
I typed "8" and waited for the tone
access to long-distance station. When he came, I gained 15 and
tone signal disappears, then I typed the area code and phone
number. 15 is not 1 and 5, fifteen interrupt the telephone
network, and if you have a sufficiently distinct ear for music
you can "naschelkat" these 15 pulses the "Reset" to regular
phones.
If I can help you with anything else,
