This shit doesn't work! And feel free to prove me wrong. Lets start with what a black box is. BLACK BOX is a device that is hooked up to your phone that fixes your phone so that when you get a call, the caller doesn't get charged for the call. This is good for calls up to 1/2 hour, after 1/2 hour the phone company starts charging anyway because they think something weird about your phone just ringing for half and hour. The box keeps the line voltage from dropping to 10v when you answer your phone. The line is instead kept at 36v and it will make the phone think that it is still ringing while your talking. Now after much testing of the line with my electricity tester I've come to many discoveries that aren't mentioned in other text's, the voltage you want to measure in to see if its working is AC because it is kept at 0 volts until someone calls you from that point it will jump up from 0 to 36-49V ... why somewhere in between there you ask? Well it seems in different area of the U.S and I think the world it supplies different voltage, in U.S GA it was 44V. So someone calls you ( pfft right as if someone would call your loser ass ) and it jumps up... you pick it up it should drop down to around 10V and stay there... What the resistor your going to put on the line is "SUPPOSED" to do is keep that voltage from dropping below 36V so it looks like its ringing and ringing (simple eh?). But after much testing with the proper resistor and other resistors I've proven it fails to work, and not only does the voltage drop but also it kills the connection and gives the caller a busy signal. Anyway, here are the schematics for the box try it your self I'm sure you will find the same results as I tried this with multiple phone lines and phones. I think what happened is this used to work somehow previously but the phone company found a way to fix the line for it * shrug * All parts are available at Radio Shack. (As fucking usual) ** Schematic 1 for most phones ** ** LED ON: BOX ON ** FROM >--------------------GREEN-> TO LINE >--! 1.8k LED !---RED--> FONE !--/\/\/\--!>--! ! ! ------>/<------- SPST Parts: 1 1.8k 1/2 watt resistor 1 1.5v LED 1 SPST switch *You may just have two wires which you connect together for the switch. ** Schematic 2 for all phones ** ** LED ON: BOX OFF ** FROM >---------------GREEN-> TO LINE >------- ---RED--> FONE ! LED ! ---->/<--!>-- ! ! ---/\/\/--- 1.8k Parts: 1 1.8k 1/2 watt resistor 1 1.5v LED 1 DPST switch If you look close and your not a retard you will notice all your basically doing is putting a 1.8k 1/2watt resistor on the red wire of your phone line. Simple right? WRONG. How do you know it's working? How do you know your phone will work? Well, you got to test it! So get daddies old AC/DC/Ohm tester out and touch the red pen to the red wire and black to green and make sure your testing the AC on the wire. That way when it doesn't work you will see how it doesn't work. =) Anyway, this evo255 pissed because he wasted a lot of time and came up with the result that this shit doesn't work any more. Feel free to try and experiment and hack it yourself maybe you will find another way to get the same result... when you do email me and tell me how you did. Much thanks to dropcode for his help in obtaining most this info as well. - evo255 (evo255x@hotmail.com)
