Boxing on ITT and Sprint

ITT

We've dug up some alternate ways to phreak on alternate long-distance.

1.)  Find a dial-up for ITT or one of its re-sellers (companies that re-sell the long-distance service to their own customers).

2.)  Call it up and enter a dummy code and number (the code must be valid).

3.)  Apply 2600 Hz to the line for about eight seconds to reset it.

4.)  You should hear a dial tone when you release the tone.  Now you can use Touch-Tones to dial any normal AT&T number, including 700s, 800s, 900s, and international.

What this does is fool the local switching equipment into giving you a trunk which you then reset.  Eight seconds are required to make sure the equipment has had time to process the call.

Sprint

1.)  Access 950-0777 (Equal Access Sprint dial-up).

2.)  Enter a dummy WATS code (basically a Sprint toll-free number) which are generally in the format of: 110XXX99

3.)  Wait for the hiss of a long-distance trunk.

4.)  Apply 2600 Hz to the line.

5.)  Enter a 6-digit trunk seizure/access code.  This code isn't responsible for billing - it just grabs a line.

6.)  Now enter the telephone number.  Don't put a "1" in front of it.

Remember that all dialing is done in DTMF (Touch-Tones), not MF tones.
