THE PHREAK'S NOTEBOOK
---------------------
[] PART I []
PRESENTED BY : [] JACKNIFE [] 014
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: THIS IS AN EXTREMELY USEFUL TEXT FILE FOR ANY PHREAKS OR POTENTIAL
PHREAKS OUT THERE. READ IT THOROUGHLY AND USE IT WISELY ...............
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: IMPORTANT PHONE NUMBERS ORIGINALLY INCLUDED IN THIS FILE HAVE BEEN
REMOVED, TO AVOID ANY LEGAL TROUBLE THE WIRE MAY HAVE BECOME INVOLVED IN.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IN THE PHONE PHREAK SOCIETY THERE ARE CERTAIN VALUES THAT EXIST IN ORDER TO BE
A TRUE PHREAK, THESE ARE BEST SUMMED UP BY THE MAGICIAN: "MANY PEOPLE THINK OF
PHONE PHREAKS AS SLIME, OUT TO RIP OFF BELL FOR ALL SHE IS WORTH. NOTHING
COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH! GRANTED, THERE ARE SOME WHO GET THEIR KICKS
BY MAKING FREE CALLS; HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT TRUE PHONE PHREAKS. REAL PHONE
PHREAKS ARE 'TELECOMMUNICATIONS HOBBYISTS' WHO EXPERIMENT, PLAY WITH AND LEARN
FROM THE PHONE SYSTEM. OCCASIONALY THIS EXPERIMENTING, AND A NEED TO
COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER PHREAKS ( WITHOUT GOING BROKE), LEADS TO FREE CALLS.
THE FREE CALLS ARE BUT A SMALL SUBSET OF A >TRUE< PHONE PHREAKS ACTIVITIES.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
REPRINTED FROM TAP ISSUE #86. (TAP, ROOM 603, 147 W 42 STREET, NEW YORK, NY
10036. SEND A SASE FOR THEIR INFO SHEET "WHAT THE HELL IS TAP?"
THE PHONE PHREAK'S TEN COMMANDMENTS
I. BOX THOU NOT OVER THINE HOME TELEPHONE WIRES, FOR THOSE WHO DOEST MUST
SURELY BRING THE WRATH OF THE CHIEF SPECIAL AGENT DOWN UPON THY HEADS.
II. SPEAKEST THOU NOT OF IMPORTANT MATTERS OVER THINE HOME TEL- EPHONE
WIRES, FOR TO DO SO IS TO RISK THINE RIGHT OF FREEDOM.
III. USE NOT THINE OWN NAME WHEN SPEAKING TO OTHER PHREAKS, FOR THAT EVERY
THIRD PHREAK IS AN FBI AGENT IS WELL KNOWN.
IV. LET NOT OVERLY MANY PEOPLE KNOW THAT THY BE A PHREAK, AS TO DO SO IS TO
USE THINE OWN SELF AS A SACRIFICIAL LAMB.
V. IF THOU BE IN SCHOOL, STRIVE TO GET THIN SELF GOOD GRADES, FOR THE
AUTHORITIES WELL KNOW THAT SCHOLARS NEVER BREAK THE LAW.
VI. IF THOU WORKEST, TRY TO BE A EMPLOYEE, AND IMPRESSEST THINE BOSS WITH
THINE ENTHUSIASM, FOR IMPORTANT EMPLOYEES ARE OFTEN SAVED BY THEIR OWN
BOSSES.
VII. STOREST THOU NOT THINE STOLEN GOODES IN THINE OWN HOME, FOR THOSE WHO DO
ARE SURELY NON-BELIEVERS IN THE BELL SYSTEM SECURITY FORCES, AND ARE NOT
LONG FOR THIS WORLD.
VIII. ATTRACTEST THOU NOT THE ATTENTION OF THE AUTHORITIES, AS THE LESS
NOTICABLE THOU ART, THE BETTER.
IX. MAKEST SURE THINE FRIENDS ARE INSTANT AMNESIACS AND WILL NOT REMEMBER
THAT THOU HAVE CALLED ILLEGALLY, FOR THEIR COOPERATION WITH THE
AUTHORITIES WILL SURELY LESSEN THINE TIME FOR FREEDOM ON THIS EARTH.
X. SUPPORTEST THOU TAP, AS IT IS THINE NEWSLETTER, AND WITHOUT IT, THY WORK
WILL BE FAR MORE LIMITED.
CN/A NUMBERS
CUSTOMER NAME & ADDRESS BUREAUS EXIST SO THAT AUTHORIZED BELL EMPLOYEES MAY
OBTAIN THE NAME & ADDRESS OF ANY CUSTOMER IN THE BELL SYSTEM BY GIVING THE CN/A
OPERATOR THE CUSTOMER'S TEL. # ALL CUSTOMERS ARE MAINTAINED ON FILE INCLUDING
UNLISTED #'S. THESE BUREAUS HAVE MANY USES FOR PHREAKS.
HERE IS HOW AN EMPLOYEE MIGHT GO ABOUT CALLING CN/A:
"HI, THIS IS JOHN DOE FROM THE MIAMI RESIDENTAL SERVICE CENTER, CAN I HAVE THE
CUSTOMERS NAME AT (123) 555-1212." THE EMPLOYEES USUALLY USE THESE FOR CHECKING
WHO BELONGS TO A # THAT SOMEONE CLAIMED THEY DIDN'T CALL.
IF YOU SOUND CHEERY AND NATURAL THE OPERATOR WILL NEVER ASK ANY QUESTIONS. IF
YOU DON'T SOUND LIKE A MATURE ADULT, DON'T USE IT! ALWAYS PRACTICE FIRST & SO
YOU DON'T SCREW UP AND MAKE THE OPERATOR SUSPICIOUS. USE NAME THAT SOUNDS
REAL, NOT YOUR PIRATE NAME EITHER! ALSO SAY THAT YOU ARE FROM A CITY THAT IS
FAR AWAY FROM THE ONE THAT YOU ARE CALLING.
THE CN/A NUMBER FOR THE NY AREA & VICINITY (212, 315, 516, 518, 607, 716, &
914) IS ---------> (518) XXX-XXXX <--------- AND IS OPEN DURING BUSINESS HOURS.
[DON'T ABUSE IT!]
AT&T NEWSLINES
AT&T NEWSLINES ARE NUMBERS AT AREA PHONE OFFICES THAT TELCO EMPLOYEES CALL TO
FIND OUT THE LATEST INFO ON NEW TECHNOLOGY, STOCKS, ETC. THE RECORDED REPORTS
RANGE FROM VERY BORING TO VERY INTERESTING.
HERE ARE A FEW OF THE NUMBERS:
(NOTE: NUMBERS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FOR OBVIOUS REASONS -- JACKNIFE)
SOME OF THESE NUMBERS ARE TOLL-FREE, BUT YOU CAN'T ALWAYS COUNT ON IT.
* THESE NUMBERS ARE NOT ALWAYS UP!
ANI NUMBERS
ANI NUMBERS IDENTIFY THE PHONE NUMBER THAT YOU ARE CALLING FROM. IT IS USEFUL
WHEN PLAYING IN CANS (THOSE BIG SILVER BOXES ON TELEPHONE POLES) TO FIND OUT
THE # OF THE LINE. IT IS ALSO GOOD TO FIND OUT THE # OF A PHONE THAT DOESN'T
HAVE IT PRINTED ON IT. IN THE 914 AREA CODE THE ANI # IS 9XX. IF YOU JUST
HAVE TO DIAL THE LAST 4 DIGITS FOR A LOCAL #, IE CONGERS (268), DIAL
1-990-1111, WHERE 1111 ARE DUMMY DIGITS THERE IS ALSO A LESS USEFUL TYPE OF ANI
# WHICH WILL IDENTIFY THE AREA CODE & EXCHANGE. IT IS NXX-9901, WHERE NXX IS
THE EXCHANGE. IN THE 212 & 516 AREA CODES THE ANI # IS 9XX.
PHREAK NEWSLETTER
TAP IS THE "OFFICIAL" PHONE PHREAK NEWSLETTER, AND HAS EXISTED SINCE 1971.
EACH 4 PAGE ISSUE IS CRAMMED FULL OF INFORMATION ON PHONE PHREAKING, COMPUTER
PHREAKING, FREE GAS, FREE ELECTRICITY, FREE POSTAGE, BREAKING & ENTERING INFO,
ETC. IT IS LARGELY PHONE PHREAK ORIENTED, HOWEVER.
A 10 ISSUE SUBSCRIPTION COSTS $8.00, IF YOU GET A BULK RATE SEALED ENVELOPE
SUBSCRIPTION. I WOULD RECOMMEND THE FIRST CLASS SUBSCRIPTION, WHICH IS $10.
AS OF THIS WRITING (7-16-83), THE CURRENT ISSUE IS #86, AND ISSUE #50 IS 8
PAGES INSTEAD OF THE USUAL 4. BACK ISSUES ARE $0.75 EACH, AND ISSUE #50 IS
$1.50. A BRIEF INDEX TO THE FIRST 80 ISSUES IS AVAILABLE FOR A SASE, OR FREE
WITH A SUBSCRIPTION ORDER. TAP IS NON-PROFIT, AND IN DESPERATE NEED OF
MATERIAL (ARTICLES), MONEY, AND VOLUNTEERS.
TAP
ROOM 603
147 WEST 42ND STREET
NEW YORK, NY 10036
BELIEVE ME: IT WILL BE THE BEST $10 YOU WILL EVER SPEND...
BLACK BOX
THE BLACK BOX IS A DEVICE THAT ATTACHED TO A CALLED PARTIES PHONE THAT
ALLOWS HIM/HER TO RECEIVE FREE LONG DISTANCE CALLS FROM FRIENDS WHO CALL.
YOU ONLY NEED 2 PARTS: A SPST TOGGLE SWITCH AND A 10,000 OHM (10 K),
1/2 WATT, 10% RESISTOR. ANY ELECTRONICS PLACE SHOULD HAVE THESE.
NOW, CUT TWO PIECES OF WIRE, ABOUT 6 INCHES, AND ATTACH THESE TO THE
TWO SCREWS ON THE SWITC\B0L012N01OUR NORMAL DDSIDE DOWN AND UNSCREW THE 2
SCREWS. LOCATE THE "F" AND "RR" SCREWS ON THE NETWORK BOX. WRAP THE
RESISTOR BETWEEN THESE 2 SCREWS AND MAKE SURE THAT THE WIRES TOUCH ONLY THE
PROPER TERMINALS! NOW CONNECT ONE WIRE FROM THE SWITCH TO THE RR TERMINAL.
FINALLY, ATTACH THE REMAINING WIRE TO THE GREEN WIRE (DISCONNECT IT FROM ITS
TERMINAL). NOW BRING THE SWITCH OUT THE REAR OF THE PHONE AND CLOSE IT UP.
PUT THE SWITCH IN A POSITION WHERE YOU GET A DIAL TONE, MARK THIS NORMAL.
MARK THE OTHER SIDE FREE.
WHEN YOUR FRIENDS CALL (AT A PREARRANGED TIME), QUICKLY LIFT & DROP THE
RECEIVER AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. THIS WILL STOP THE RINGING, IF NOT TRY AGAIN. IT
IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO IT FAST! NOW PUT THE SWITCH IN THE FREE POSITION
AND PICK UP THE PHONE. KEEP ALL CALLS SHORT & UNDER 15 MINUTES. WHEN SOMEONE
CALLS YOU LONG-DISTANCE, THEY ARE BILLED FROM THE MOMENT YOU ANSWER. THE TELCO
KNOWS WHEN YOU ANSWER DUE TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF VOLTAGE THAT FLOWS WHEN YOU
PICK UP THE PHONE. HOWEVER, THE RESISTOR CUTS DOWN ON THE VOLTAGE SO IT IS
BELOW THE BILLING RANGE BUT SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO OPERATE THE MOUTHPIECE.
ANSWERING THE PHONE FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND STOPS THE RING BUT IT IS NOT
ENOUGH FOR BILLING TO START. IF THE PHONE IS ANSWERED FOR EVEN ONE FULL SECOND,
BILLING WILL START AND YOU WILL BE CUT OFF WHEN YOU HANG UP AND SWITCH TO FREE.
WARNING: BELL CAN RANDOMLY LOOK FOR BLACK BOXES SO BE CAREFUL!

DIAL LOCKS
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN AN OFFICE OR SOMEWHERE AND WANTED TO MAKE A FREE FONE
CALL BUT SOME A-HOLE PUT A LOCK ON THE FONE TO PREVENT OUT-GOING CALLS?
FRET NO MORE PHELLOW PHREAKS, FOR EVERY SYSTEM CAN BE BEATEN WITH A LITTLE
KNOWLEDGE!
THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO BEAT THIS OBSTACLE, FIRST PICK THE LOCK, I DON'T HAVE THE
TIME TO TEACH LOCKSMITHING SO WE GO TO THE SECOND METHOD WHICH TAKES ADVANTAGE
OF TELEPHONE ELECTRONICS.
TO BE AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE, WHEN YOU PICK UP THE FONE YOU COMPLETE A CIRCUIT
KNOW AS A LOCAL LOOP. WHEN YOU HANG-UP YOU BREAK THE CIRCUIT. WHEN YOU DIAL
(PULSE) IT ALSO BREAKS THE CIRCUT BUT NOT LONG ENOUGH TO HANG UP! SO YOU CAN
"PUSH-DIAL." TO DO THIS YOU >RAPIDLY< DEPRESS THE SWITCHHOOK. FOR EXAMPLE, TO
DIAL AN OPERATOR (AND THEN GIVE HER THE NUMBER YOU WANT CALLED) >RAPIDLY< &
>EVENLY< DEPRESS THE SWITCHHOOK 10 TIMES. TO DIAL 634-1268, DEPRESS 6 X'S
PAUSE, THEN 3 X'S, PAUSE, THEN 4 X'S, ETC. IT TAKES A LITTLE PRACTICE BUT
YOU'LL GET THE HANG OF IT. TRY PRACTICING WITH YOUR OWN # SO YOU'LL GET A BUSY
TONE WHEN RIGHT. IT'LL ALSO WORK ON TOUCH-TONE(TM) SINCE A DTMF LINE WILL ALSO
ACCEPT PULSE. ALSO, NEVER DEPRESS THE SWITCHHOOK FOR MORE THAN A SECOND OR
IT'LL HANG-UP!
FINALLY, REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE JUST AS MUCH RIGHT TO THAT FONE AS THE A-HOLE
WHO PUT THE LOCK ON IT!
EXCHANGE SCANNING
ALMOST EVERY EXCHANGE IN THE BELL SYSTEM HAS TEST #'S AND OTHER "GOODIES" SUCH
AS LOOPS WITH DIAL-UPS.
THESE "GOODIES" ARE USUALLY FOUND BETWEEN 9900 AND 9999 IN YOUR LOCAL EXCHANGE.
IF YOU HAVE THE TIME AND INITIATIVE, SCAN YOUR EXCHANGE AND YOU MAY BECOME
LUCKY!
HERE ARE MY FINDINGS IN THE 914-268 EXCHANGE:
(NOTE: ALSO REMOVED FOR OBVIOUS REASONS -- JACKNIFE)
MOST OF THE NUMBERS BETWEEN 9900 & 9999 WILL RING OR GO TO A "WHAT #, PLEASE?"
OPERATOR.
HAVE PHUN AND REMEMBER IT'S ONLY A LOCAL CALL!

[] PART II []

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOUCH-TONE & FREE CALLS
THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO MAKE FREE CALLS (SPRINT, MCI, ETC.) USING A ROTARY
PHONE. THEY ARE:
1. USE A NUMBER THAT ACCEPTS VOICE AS WELL AS DTMF. SUCH A # IS (800)
521-XXXX. AS OF WRITING THIS, A CODE WAS XX6X7X9X.
A) IF USING VOICE, WAIT FOR THE COMPUTER TO SAY, "AUTHORIZATION #,
PLEASE." THEN SAY EACH DIGIT SLOWLY, IT WILL BEEP AFTER EACH DIGIT IS
SAID. AFTER EVERY GROUP OF DIGITS, IT WILL REPEAT WHAT YOU HAVE SAID,
THEN SAY YES IF IT IS CORRECT, OTHERWISE SAY NO. IF THE ACCESS CODE IS
CORRECT, IT WILL THANK YOU AND ASK FOR THE DESTINATION #, THEN SAY THE
AREA CODE + NUMBER AS ABOVE. ANOTHER SUCH # IS (800) XX5- 8XXX, WHICH
HAS A 6 DIGIT ACCESS CODE. (NOTE: IF USING TOUCH-TONE ON THIS #, ENTER
THE CODE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TONE STOPS.)
2. HOOK UP A TOUCH-TONE FONE INTO YOUR ROTARY FONE. ATTACH THE RED WIRE FROM
THE TOUCH-TONE FONE TO THE "R" TERMINAL INSIDE THE FONE ON THE NETWORK
BOX. THEN HOOK THE GREEN WIRE TO THE "B" TERMINAL. TO USE THIS DIAL THE #
USING ROTARY & THEN USE THE TOUCH-TONE FOR THE CODES. (DON'T HANG UP THE
ROTARY FONE WHILE DOING THIS THOUGH!) IF THIS DOESN'T WORK THEN REVERSE
THE 2 WIRES. (NOTE: IF YOUR LINE CAN ACCEPT TOUCH-TONE BUT YOU HAVE A
ROTARY FONE THEN YOU CAN HOOK UP A TONE FONE DIRECTLY FOR ALL CALLS BUT
THIS USUALLY ISN'T THE CASE.) SUCH AS RADIO SHACK'S 43-138.
THIS IS THE TONE MATRIX FOR A BOX WHICH GENERATES TONES THAT OPERATORS USE TO
DIAL..ROTARY WORKS AS WELL, ON OPERATOR LINES, BUT THIS IS TECHNOLOGICAL(!).
NOW I AGREE WITH THE OPINION OF A WELL KNOWN PHREAK THAT 'BOXING' IS/WILL BE
FOR THE MOST PART DEAD, BUT THIS IS TRADITION... FIRST,YOU DIAL DIR.ASST, OR AN
OPER. ETC , THEN YOU BLAST THE LINE WITH A 2600HZ TONE. THIS GIVES YOU THE
LINE, THIS IS ALSO HOW MA BELL TRACKS DOWN BLUE BOXERS... THERE ARE 2600HZ
DETECTORS S Y STEMS, AND EVEN ON OLD #4 CROSSBARS... ONDCE ON A OPER.TRUNK
LINE, YOU USE YOUR BLUE BOX/ROTARY TDO DIAL...
SO, IF YOU USE 2600HZ, WHICH IS NECESS ARY, UNLESS YOU ARE *VERY* CAREFUL, YOU
WILL BE SNAGGED.
FINALLY, THIS IS WHAT YOU READ! SO LONG AND HARD FOR:
700 : 1 : 2 : 4 : 7 : 11 :
900 : + : 3 : 5 : 8 : 12 :
1100 : + : + : 6 : 9 : KP :

1500 : + : + : + : + : ST :
: 700 : 900 : 1100 : 1300 : 1500 :
USE KP TO START A CALL, AND ST TO STOP, WITH THE BELOVED 2600HZ TONE TO DIS
CONNECT. I ALSO HEAR THAT 2 600HZ RESETS SPRINT NODES AND GIVES YOU THEIR
INITIAL TONE..
NOW, IF YOU'RE WONDERING ABOUT WHAT TO CALL FROM AN OPERATOR TRUNK, HERE ARE
SOME GOODIES TO HELP YOU OUT:
XXX+101 - TOLL SWITCHING
XXX+121 - LOCAL OPERATOR
XXX+131 - INFORMATION
XXX+141 - RATE & ROUTE
XXX+181 - COIN REFUND OPERATOR
XXX+11501 - MOBILE OPERATOR
XXX+11521 - MOBILE OPERATOR
XXX+11511 - CONFERENCE OPERATOR
THESE WORK WITH ROTARY OR OPER ATORS TO NES, BUT ONLY ON OPER. TRUNK LR*ZII)X
THANKS FOR LISTENING!
BLUE BOXING - PART II
WHILE READING THE FINE ARTICLE ON THE BLUE BOX I SAW THAT THERE A LOT OF
DATA LEFT OUT OF THE DO CUMENT. I HOPE THIS A DDS, IN SOME SMALL WAY, TO THE
INFORMATION.
FIRST THE TONES. WHILE ALL THE INFORMATION IS CORRECT, THE TIMING SPECS
WERE NOT INCLUDED . THE TONE PAIRS ARE TO REMAIN ON FOR 1/10 SEC. WITH 1/10
SEC. OF SLIENCE BETWEEN DIGITS. THE 'KP' TONES SHOULD BE SENT FOR 2/10 SEC. A
WAY TO DEFEAT THE 2600HZ TRAPS IS TO SEND A LONG WITH T HE 2600HZ SOME PINK
NOISE(MOST OF THE ENERGY IN THIS SIGNAL SH OULD BE ABOVE 3000HZ, THIS SI DEAL
WON'T MAKE IT OVER THE TOLL NETWORK, BUT SHOULD CARRY AS FAR AS YOUR LOCAL TOLL
CENTER) SO THAT THE TRAPS WON'T FIND 'PURE' 260 0HZ ON THE TRUNK. THIS I S NOT
A PERFECTLY SAFE WAY TO BOX, BUT IT SHOULD SLOW DOWN THE DISCOVERY.
AS TO USE, THE FIRST THING YOUN EED TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THERE ARE TWO(2)
TYPES OF TOLL COMPLETING TRUNK, INWARD AND OUTWARD. THE NAMES ARE REFERENCE TO
THE OFFICE THAT IS SWITC HING THE CALL(THE TOLL CENTER THAT SERVES THE WATS
LINE YOU CAL LED) AND EACH TYPE OF TRUNK HAS A DIFFERENT CLASS OF SERVICE. FROM
AN INWARD TOLL COMPLETING TRUNK, YOU CAN REACH THE DIFFERENT SER VICE OPERATORS
, THE TOLL TEST BOARD, AND THE INWARD OPERATOR. SOME OFFICES ALSO ALLOW REMOTE
TESTING AND IT IS IN THESE OFFICES THAT YOU CAN ACCESS THE OUTWARD TO LL
COMPLETING TRUNKS. THE OUT WARD TRUNKS ALLOW YOU TO MAKE VERIFICATION
(EMERGENCY) CALLS, DO SERVICE MONITORING(TAPPING), STACK TRUNKS(BUSY OUT ALL
TRUNKS BETWEEN LA AND NYC), ENABLE AND DISABLE TSPS POSITIONS, AND IN SOME
CASES(ON SOME 4A'S) ISSUE TEMPORARY RER OUTING INSTRUCTIO NS( SEND ALL CALLS
FROM LA TO NYC VIA MIAM I, BOSTON, OR ANY OTHER CLASS 5 OFFICE OR OFFICES).
BOTH TYPE OF TRUNK ALLOW YOU TO PLACE A 'STANDARD' CALL WITH A BOX.
IN SOME OFFICES, MOSTLY THE SMALL ONES WITH A TOLL TEST BOARD THAT IS
UNATTENDED AT NIGHT AND ON WEEKENDS, YOU CANGE TO AN OUTWARD TOLL COMPLETING
TRUNK AS WELL AS PERFORMING OTHER TEST AND ROUTING FUNCTIONS. YOU DO THIS BY
USING THREE DIGIT CODES THAT ARE INVALID EXCHANG ES(NOT OF THE PATTERN NNX[SEE
NOTE 1]). DURING THE SIXITES THE CODES USED WERE FAIRLY STANDARD AND
CONSISTENT, HOWEVER WHEN THE B OXES BECAME POPULAR AND THE PHREAKS STARTED
DOING THINGS LIKE ROUTING ALL CALLS FROM DALLAS TO FT. WORTH VIA WASHTNGTON
D.C. MOTHER STARTED CHANGING THE TEST CODES ON A RANDOM(AS FAR AS I KNOW )
BASIS. WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IS THAT EVERYBODY INTERESTED IN DOING THIS SORT OF
THING PICK OUT A NICE QUIET LITTLE OFFICE SOMEWHERE AND WORK ON DISCOVERING THE
CODES ACCEPTABLE TO THAT OFFICE. BERING PLAN AREA (NPA, ALSO KNOWN AS AREA
CODE) HAS AN OFFICE DESIIGNATED AS ITS MASTER OFFICE. THIS OFFICE CONT ROLS
ALL OF THE OTHER TOLL OFFICES IN THE AREA AS WELL AS SERVING AS A CONCENTRATION
POINT FOR MOST OUT OF AREA CALLS. TO ACCESS THE SERVICES OF A NON-MASTER OFFICE
YOU NEED IT'S 'CITY CODE', THIS IS A THREE(3) DIGIT CODE THAT IS OF THE FORM
0XX, AND IS SENT AFTER THE AREA CODE [SEE NOTE 2 ]. AS AN EXAMPLE, THE 'CITY
CODE' FOR CANTON, OHIO IS 0XX; THUS TO REACH THE INWARD OPERATOR IN CANTON, YOU
WOULD SEND 'KP-2XX-0XX-1XX-ST' WHERE AS IF YOU WANTED THE INWARD OPERATOR IN
CLEVELA ND, YOU WOULD SEND 'KP-2XX-1XX-ST'. THE REASON THIS IS NECESSARY IS
THAT THE OPERATOR IN CLEVELAND CAN'T VERIFY A NUMBER IN CANTON, SO IF YOU WANT
TO VERIFY SOMEONE IN CANTON YOU NEED THE CITY CODE. ALSO, MOST AREA MASTER
OFF ICES HAVE DEDICATED DATA TRUNKS TO THE NETWORK CONTROL CENTER AND THUS
DON'T ACCEPT TEST AND REROUTING COMMAN DS OVER THE SWITCHED NET-WORK. IN
CONCLUSION, THE SWITCHING NETW ORK WILL DO A LOT MORE FOR YOU THEN CONNECT YOU
TO PEOPLE AND THE SMALL OFFICES THAT REQUIRE A 'CITY CODE' ARE THE TYPE OF
OFFICE TO TRY TO BREAK.
NICKIE HAFLINGER, THE COVEN.
NOTE 1: THE NORMAL FORMAT FOR TELEPHONE NUMBERS IS AS FOLLOWS:
NYN/NNX-XXXX. WHERE N=ANY DIGIT EXCE PT 1 AND 0; Y=0 OR 1 , AND X=ANY DIGIT.
YES I KNOW THAT IN SOME AREA CODES THE NNX FORMAT HAS CHANGED TO NXX . THIS IS
A NEW OCCURRENCE AND ONLY OCCUR WHERE THERE HAS BE AN OUTRAGEOUS POPULATION
INCREASE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS AND ALL OF THE FUNNY EXCHANGES ARE CONNECTED
DIRECTLY TO MASTER OFFICES AND THUS DON'T CONFLICT WITH THE 'CITY CODE' FOR MAT
NOTE 2: YOU CAN OBTAIN THE 'CITY CODE' FOR A NUMBER BY CALLING RATE AND
ROUTE AND ASKING FOR THE 'NUMBERS ROUTE' TO NYN/NNX(I.E. 914/725).
