Can BlueBoxing Be Achieved In The UK? ------------------------------------- by SorcereR '97 Version : 1.0 Released : 5th July 1997 Now many reading this will be glad to find information regarding phreaking in the UK, information seems rather scarce. Anyway on with the document. Blueboxing cannot be achieved within BT's exchange because of there digital service and the system they now use. BUT it may be possible to obtain free calls by means of blueboxing through using it across a foreign exchange. BT provides us with freephone number to contact foreign operators e.g. 0800 890 049 (Germany). Now if the foreign exchange was to be of a system which could by blueboxed then this is where it may be possible to obtain free calls. To find out if an exchange is a possible source of phreaking simply phone through to the countries trunk, once on the trunk you are on their exchange, when someone picks up the phone if you here a beep of some sort then there is a possibility of that exchange being phreaked. Now once you have found exchanges that can be phreaked you will need to find out what tones (frequencies) that exchange uses to provide the tones for free calls and other operations, now this may be hard to find out, (I will be trying to find this info. out and shall post the info on my next document). Anyway when you find the correct tones you should simply blast the tones down the line while the other end is ringing so that the exchange can hear the tones, when it hears the tones it may react, if you got them right, otherwise nothing. I have compiled a list of possible exchanges that may be phreaked, try them and give me any feedback that this information has given you. 0800 890 027 - South Africa? 0800 890 038 - ? 0800 890 049 - Germany 0800 890 056 - Chile 0800 890 055 - Brazil Direct 0800 890 059 - Libia Direct 0800 890 061 - Australia Direct 0800 890 062 - Indonesia Direct 0800 890 133 - French recording or something? 0800 890 135 - Bahamas Direct 0800 890 241 - Gabon Direct 0800 890 598 - ? 0800 890 853 - Macao Direct 0800 890 890 - ?
