this may seem completly un-related or possibly already mentioned, but the mute function on the phone is just a circuit.. when the circuit of the wire is complete the phone is muted, when you put in coins and make your call the circuit is broken thus letting you talk. So thank god we had smart phreaks that wondered "but what if we could make it so its not muted all the time?" well you can... I beleieve the wire is the wire in the clear shit or w/e... I'm probably wrong. but have fun with it

Um. yeah. Read the thread.

Oh shit, wait a second. The mute wire is in the handset, according to the articles. Why are you looking in the armored cable? And how did you get it open?

I guesses that if the mute wire is receiving power, then it must be coming down the cable.

I gnawed through the cable with a super-heavy duty pair of cutters.

Maybe it's just grounding the mic power?

Hey I also read the hack canada thing on assailting payphones and was woundering if its true what it said about the yellow wire that if you cut it. It will store the coins and when you reconnect it you get the coins

The easiest way to get the coins is to fit a small plastic bag and push it with a wire through the coins whole. Then leave it for about 6 hours. People will attempt to call but the coins will stay in the small bag. Finally go n' get a wire and give it some hock shape and pull from the bag.
I assure you will make like 20 dollars per phone/day.

Another practical solution is to get your own terminator as John Connor did.

I would get my own terminator if I knew how to get in touch with my future self just like John Connor did but thanks for the advice

Are you sure $20 a day? I dont really think people use pay phones that often.

I have a bunch of good spots if i can get this trick to work so it could be $20 a day or more but I would still like to hear from Alpha Omicron about the wires and there functions especially about the yellow wire and if the thing from hack canada is true.

Even if you could get a bag to fit in there unnoticeable, I don't think $20 worth of coins can fit in the pay slot...

True but I have like 4-6 Payphones at my school 1 by my house a mini bank 1500 at my school which im working on hacking they change the password from the default

but thats another story. A couple of empty weed bags just about the same size as the slot so I think I can get like $20 + dollars a day which would be nice

Its nice to have an active forum where you can talk freely

I used to stuff toilet paper in the coin slot of the pay phones in front of the Circle K I worked at. I was lucky to get $1.00 per shift. The problem is that most calls go through so the money never has a reason to come back out of the coin slot.

Acid Crasher · « **Reply #28 on:** November 28, 2006, 07:56:09 PM »

I'm going to put the bag in where the ppl put there money so they don't even get the dial tone and the phone call never goes through and i get the money and 6 pay phones at like $6 + dollars a day for like a week = $42 + dollars which isn't that bad if everything works out

Or go on eBay, bid on a fortress fone, and card it. While you're waiting, go down to K-Mart and swipe a ChatterBug as well.

Then when it arrives, you can wire the escrow relay open, install the ChatterBug inside, mount it somewhere that gets a lot of foot traffic, and become very rich very quickly. The unsuspecting victims will pick up the handset, hear fake dialtone, insert money, dial, get nothing, maybe add more money, and eventually get fed up and walk away. All the while, their money is going straight into the cash can - no coin release levers here!

Move the fone around every few days, and watch the dollars add up.

** Yeah, right. If you follow these instructions, you deserve every bit of what will happen to you. So even if you're the kind of fuquad that thinks this is leet advice, DON'T DO IT.**

edit: make that "chatterbug", not "wirefly". d'oh!
