TALKING ABOUT BLUEBOXING
        TALKING ABOUT BLUEBOXING
        ________________________
 HERE'S A RIDDLE: EVERYONE PROMISES TO
 KEEP IT FOR HIS OWN, BUT EVERYBODY
 USES IT. SOLUTION: A C64 BLUEBOX PRG!

 So far, so good. It was in early April
 when I saw a Bluebox program on Amiga
 at a friend's home. As I also prefered
 calling around WITHOUT paying, I deci-
 ded to code a Bluebox on my little 64.
 No problem, after playing around with
 the timings a bit I was able to call
 everywhere I wanted to without paying.

 At the moment, it sadly seems like
 some people are lively spreading a
 Bluebox coded by a member of a former
 wellknown C64 group.
 No problem, if everyone is conscious
 WHAT he is using and especially WHICH
 number he is boxing. For the more or
 less initiated persons: if YOU blubox
 5555555555 for example, I wish you:

             HAPPY BILLING!
             HAPPY BILLING!
             ______________
 I bet a bottle of MALIBU that THIS #
 is monitored by the Federations.
 
 When I still was in possess of a modem
 I used to call QSD/LOAD a lot. That is
 a great multichat system in France,
 acessable via Tymnet, NUA 555555555555
 Anyway, 6O% of the users were Amiga
 freax, using one of the American ud's.
 Naturally via Bluebox. Talking to many
 different guys, I figured out that
 they ALL bluboxed the same German ser-
 vice line. Very great! Naturally the
 owner of the line got a sky-high bill
 and complained at the German Telekom.
 So the Bluebox system for France died.
 Nowadays, they all bluebox American
 service lines, but instead of finding
 a very own # (It's SO easy!), they
 again mostly use the same #'s. STUPID!
 
 Man, there has been and IS excessive
 gossip about the German Telekom trying
 to FUCK blueboxers; these are the most
 spread rumours:

 - German Telekom records the first
   three minutes of a O13O service
   call

 - if they catch you, they wait some
   months and present you such a large
   bill that you better emigrate to
   Alaska

 - In Frankfurt,where all O13O-lines
   go up to the sky, there are sixty
   people who make spotchecks on every
   O13O call.

  Some people keep telling that it is
  impossible to call people to account
  for blueboxing because if you box,
  the fraud happens in America and not
  in your mothercountry.
  What a CRAP! I talked to a lawyer,
  and he told me that if the possesor
  of the service line gets to know YOU
  thru the Telekom, they can sue YOU
  and YOU are looking pretty LAME then.

  So, better be CAREFUL. Whenever you
  use a Bluebox, don't stay on longer
  than 1O minutes (if you use it from
   your HOME phone). Use calling cards
  instead, if you are initiated you
  should know how to call Germany with
  them.

  I also talked to a clerk of the
  German Telekom, he told me that they
  know about the shit but they wouldn't
  care. Personally, I do not believe
  that because I cannot imagine that
  either AT&T or the Telekom are
  very happy about the fact that YOU
  don't have to pay for calls. I guess
  they are just waiting for someone
  they can sue for excessive boxing,
  and have a test case with him, so
  that everyone is frightened.
  Always think about that it's maybe
  YOU they catch. And also try to be
  sure you have enough cash to pay the
  bill then.

  The best thing to do is still like
  me and my friends do:
  Whenever you really HAVE to bluebox
  (long distance calls, imagine your
  girlfriend is on vacation in Italy),
  take a good taperecorder and record
  the dialing sequence. Now go to a
  phone booth, possibly in a small
  village near you with few habitants.
  It's more difficult to trace you if
  you are calling out of a very small
  net. Don't stay on too long.

  Help to make blueboxing useable as
  long as possible, don't use it to
  call boards or scanning PBX'es.
  Use credit cards, that's the safest
  way you can call without paying.

  Whenever you bluebox, choose a line
  where NO person lifts the receiver.
  Choose a FAX# or a VMB#; there are
  dozens of them, just try it out.
  You know, as long as not ONE line
  is frequented by ALL of us, but if
  different lines are used, the thing
  will surely work LONGER.
  So you do YOURSELF a favour, too!

  Anyway, here's a short info about
  blueboxing for the completely unini-
  tiated persons:

  Blueboxing is as easy as dialing nor-
  mal, the only difference is that you
  don't tap the keys on yar phone, but
  your computer dials for you.
  You simply call a German service line
  that leeds to America or Japan.
  Just wait for the satelite-click and
  play your 'Organ' into the receiver.
  That's it.
  The owner of the service line is
  BILLING this call, even he did not
  lift the receiver.
  Another cool thing is, that the line
  isnt busy if someone differrent calls
  and the owner doesn't recognize
  anything, because he can use the line
  as if it was okay.
  
  Some last words, though I know that
  the world won't listen:
  If you possess a Bluebox, then use it
  but don't SPREAD it. The fewer people
  box, the longer it will last and be
  at our disposal to make long distance
  calls for free.

  Think! You know that EVERYBODY has a
  'best' friend. Noone will hesitate
  to give YOUR proggy out to his 'best'
  friend. So, if you have a box or
  you wrote a box on your own (like me)
  possess it for YOURSELF and be happy.
