Pull out a subscription card and keep it for the address listed for the magazine company. Now get the number of the local AT&T or Verizon office in your area and note it down. Now go to your handy-dandy yellow pages and pick out a technical type business, one not to small, and not as big as Micro$oft. Write down the name of the company. Next go to a payphone or op divert to spoof your ANI, and dial 1-800-222-0400. When you call up tell the nice op that you want to get an 800 number, and save time by telling them that you want the 'Readyline Service'. When they ask you for your name, just make up one, or use one of the person you hate most. When asked for the name of the company, give them the name of the place you pulled out of the phonebook.When asked for the billing address, give them the P.O. BOX of the address of the company on the card u pulled from the magazine. When they ask about a service address, give em the address of your local AT&T or Verizon office.They'll ask for the number you want it to route to, that would obviously be the BBS #. For you contact number, just give em one that doesnt answer, or is constantly busy. If they ask for credit info, just make up the companys name and the presidents name. When asked when started, say anything after 1980, since most somewhat newer companys are likely to set up an 800 #. If they ask for annual sales, just say something about $160,000. Once all that is complete as to have the number assigned while your on the phone, and say you need the line ASAP. Not too long from then it should be up an routing the selected BBS #. This also works for dial-up access numbers, and even normal phone numbers. Doing all this will ensure that you get an 800 number you want, while having the monopoly companys, AT&T and/or Verizon, paying for the number. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This text was brought to you by: Turbanator -- turbanator2k2@roy.phonelosers.org AIM -- Turbanator2k2
