PLA Radio Episode #12 - Free Phone Calls
« on: September 19, 2006, 10:08:47 PM »
This is kind of a short episode, as far as content goes.  The last 20 minutes is nothing but voicemails from listeners.  But in this episode you'll learn a few different ways to easily make free phone calls.  Covered are red boxing, 3rd party billing and charging the phone company for your calls.  Very educational!  You'll also hear some breaking news from a computer hackers convention, a way to listen to PLA Radio on your cell phone and a few miscellaneous prank phone calls.  This podcast is 36 minutes long and is about 32.9 megs.

The episode is cool, but I've found the 11 far more hilarious.
Unfortunately your tips will not work where I live right now, but they have their own ways downhere 8)

Keep up the good work mate, you're great.

I think the NWBell and z09 voicemails are the best.

The fact that I'm turning hundreds of innocent Ipod users into red boxers is damn hilarious.  I wonder how many of them will actually do it.  I wish my statistics would tell me how many of the downloaded episodes actually went into Ipods so I could know how many illegal toll fraud devices I singlehandedly created.

I think the only way to know that is by making a poll; something like "are you recording the show in your ipod for hacker purposes; yes or no"

The statistics will tell u the rest.

Is it just me or does nwbell sound like Kermit?

Best intro theme you've ever made--except you didn't make it. Wunderbar!

Just finished listening to the episode (School Kinda got in the way) Good work on the simple gude on redboxing, and the redbox tones in the beggining of the show are sure to be helpfull too! I think alot of people are getting confused, thinking  that the PLA is just a podcast, rather than a group with alot of history. Although it may bore some of the listeners that are only looking for pranks, I think an episode dedicated to the History and backround of the PLA. I also dont get how some people cant figure out that you were FORWARDING the lines to the pizza hut/Supercenter/ auto zone/ cinema/ tech support places.
Thats why I feel the PLA community that is too stupid to read up on the stories behind these pranks should be educated!

another thing, people like chris, That say OMG My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself.!1 I listen to PLA radio on my PSP fer 1 day! I R soo LEET! I AM LIKE TEH biggest fan My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself.!11  Call me at my phone number, its...Wait let me read this here.... ahh.. ***-**** so omg u should PRANK ME! YEah, i would really like it if you could prank me at the number i just gave you...wich is my...house Yeah, house.

And then they call back 5 or six more times.

So as I said, An episode of PLA radio, or prehaps BBB, about what PLA is all about, would be really neat.

Thanks for continuing to make the show!

haha you mean you're not L337 enough to scam free international calls? :D  Living in another country, I thought the same thing though...

Interesting episode, and I now know why you changed VM services - the quality of most of the messages you played were horrible!

Hey, RBCP, if you red box a local call and flash the hook then what happens? I know that if you're boxing a regional call you'll get an op on the line. Don't remember what sort of op though. Does the same thing happen when boxing a local call?

I have no idea.  I've never tried it.  I'm not much of a red boxer these days.  The few calls I've made recently are my first in about 3 years.
