does anyone remember?

[Serotonin]

when you could make free phone calls at pay phones by sticking a pin though the handset and touching it to the key hole and then dialing?

[nabs]

... no. how long ago was tis?

[crookedking]

remember page back phones?

[gnosis]

Are you really _that_ ghetto that you couldn't fork out a quarter?

Frosty
(used to tap out numbers on the reciever switch)

[b0ld]

meh you can still hack around a millenium phone which is virtually everywhere... that or just used social engineering with an operator...

[sNyx]

I remember super numbers you could punch in prior to dialing for a freebie :)

[decypher]

You could also download a quarter tone .wav, dial operator say the keypad is messed and then play the tone when they dial the number.

All this kinda stuff was cool when i was 14.

[esoter1c]

That's how I used to call my ride after school everyday when I was 10.

:285:

Still not as cool as cap'n crunch n his 2600mhz whistle.

I would make a collect call to my dad afterschool and when it asked you your name I would say 'pick me up at <insert time here>' and then my dad would just refuse the call and come get me

[wishbone]

i'd just whistle at 2600.

*NERD ALERT*

There was a bunch of those numbers. My friend had some paper filled with those numbers.

Weren't they like operator codes?

Pay phones were all the same back than.

[b0ld]

2727378 or wait maybe its 2727278.... anyways ya and then figure it out from there...

[mapleleaf4ever]

^ 2727378 and the pass was 25563... after that I didn't know the Opcodes.

It doesn't work on Bell Phones in Ontario though. I was disappointed.
