Heck, you used to be able to put a 470 ohm resistor across the phone lines. The CO always thought the phone was on the hook. All calls to that phone -free.

 

It's called a red box. YOu can't use them at all payphones as the phone company is phasing out the phones which these will work on... but you go to radioshack, get a tone dialer. Then you replace the crystal with a 6.5536 mhz mouse crystal. You can find the schematics anywhere.

 

Aiight, here's the thing, the idea of a blue box doesn't work anymore, the original tone based phone systems ran by using specific signals, 2600 was the frequency at which the phone would grab a line opened, (hence the name of the web site and quarterly publishing, which I surprisingly found a book store that carried it, didn't realize anyone in the US carried that thing) and the buttons on the phone would make different tones to identify which was being pushed.

Now, the newer phones in the US run on a dual signal, meaning you have to get a blue box that oscillates between 2 different signals at once (nearly impossible to make a portable version of) since the signals have to happen at the exact same time, making one is extremely difficult since it would have to be 2 blue boxes running on 2 different frequencies.

Honestly I'd just look into building one of the old ones and framing it, besides, it'd be cheaper just to use the current price, I mean honestly, would you really spend like $50 for all the research, burned out parts, screw ups, etc. necessary to make a phone call ?

 

however, there are still certain areas in the united states in which the older pay phones still run on the older frequencies, so it is still possible to use an old blue box in those areas, I have yet to find them because they are being kept secret so they can still be used by a select few for a little while longer.

 

This would be called phreaking.
I know there are TONS of sites out there that tell you how to phreak and stuff....
not sure but there might be a link off of www.astalavista.com or something.... :P

 

Also... I'd like to add that phone phreaking, and possession of a blue box, or any other box including, red, black, cyan, and cardboard (heh, j/k on the last) are considered illegal, even though they no longer work, it is still considered contraband and can carry a fine, and possibly jail time, I myself still wish to build one, but only for display, mounted in a lexon case.

 

hahaha i'd think BS as far as 'just for display' lol :P although i would kinda like to visit an electronics museum...maybe you have an idae there :-)

I think it would be kinda cool to do that stuff...but i wont do anything *too* illegal...if i did, i wouldnt do it alot...only like once or twice...
