(604) 658-1581 24HRS - ---------------------------------------------------------- This file was written for the beginner to calling card hacking in mind. A calling card is a service by B.C. Tel, which is a plastic card with a 14 digit number on it. When a person who applied for it gets it, they can charge long distance calls to the number on their card. Until recently, calling card hacking was impossible, because the holder had to tell the operator the number. But now, B.C. Tel is encouraging hackers (I use that term loosely) to hack other peoples card numbers. Requirements: ------------- Anyone with a touch tone phone (a must), and an IQ of more than thirty can hack calling cards. How To Do It: --- -- -- --- O.K., this is the format of calling card numbers: area code+phone number+a four digit random number. Say you order a calling card, and your home phone number is 444-5555, your calling card would be: 604 444 5555 XXX where X is a random number. So, the first thing you need to start hacking, is the phone number of someone who owns a calling card. This shouldn't be too much of a problem, because many people have calling cards these days, and a little snooping around (your dad's friends,etc.) will usually reward you with one.A little advise: look in the phone book for the phone number to some big company: Times Colonist, etc., note the phone number, and use that, they probably have many cards for their reporters, who have to call in from thier assignments. Once you have one, instead of going thru the operator, you use what's known as a diverter. For calls within B.C.: --- ----- ------ ----- Dial 0+number you want to call+ (after tone) the calling card number. For calls outside B.C.: --- ----- ------- ----- Dial 0+area code+number you want to call+(after tone) the calling card number. ** Touch tone phones only** If you make an error, hit #,wait for the tone, and then enter your card number again. I suggest you start from 0000 and go to 9999. I know it might take a while, but it's worth it, considering you can rack up a >$1000 phone bill, and it can't be traced back to you. I also suggest that when you get a valid number, that you don't charge $50 and then leave it alone, because when the next phone bill comes, and the company says they didn't do it, tel will know it's been hacked, and change the number, so it's better to have the number changed after you've done some major phreakin, than if you've only done a bit, so go all out. How to get the most out of your hacked card: --- -- --- --- ---- --- -- ---- ------ ----- 1: Wait until your phone bill comes, and then start using it, so you'll have a whole month to phreak. 2: Once your number goes dead, start hacking with the same phonee number, because they changed the random number, not the phone number. And this saves you the trouble of looking for another one. Check your phone bills from past and future for info on using a calling card, because Tel will probably advertise it, if you don't understand this file. ---------- Unorthodox Priest---------
