For years I never paid for a phone call at Woodland Hills Mall in Tulsa. There was a set of phones next to TILT that could be shorted with a paperclip. I kept a paperclip in the back of my wallet. I was able to get it to work in other locations but the phones at the mall always worked.

Do you recall some service in Oklahoma that required a 4 or 6 digit code to make long distance? You would call the service and dial your code and then you’d get the dial tone to where you wanted to call. I remember collecting the codes for that and made calls to Hawaii. Only problem is the person that owned that code would get the bill and the location where the call was placed from and call you and say some nasty words.

I installed a different app on my iPhone, called ” $n1ck3rz b0x “. You use it to simulate coins at a vending machine. I’ve accumulated quite the stack of free candy and soda. Butterfinger, anyone?

Ok, maybe not.

If you want to relive that blue-boxing feeling of playing tones down the horn and hoping they will work, without the part of the feds breathing down your neck you can!

Go to http://www.projectmf.org/ to find out. I played with that server via a voip connection and it works great. And man did that give a kick.
