Unlimited Cellphone for $39.99 a Month

Telecom, Tricks of Trade No Comments »

Today I am trying to devise a system which would allow me to be able to make unlimited cellphone calls for just $39.99 a month.

To put this system into action I need the following:
- ($39.99/month) A basic cellphone plan with unlimited calls to/from one or more phone number.
- ($49.99 for kit) ApogeeKits telephone remote control electronic set.
- ($32.99/month or $9 month) A landline with unlimited nationwide calling and 3-way calling.

Basic Cellphone Plan

Several cell phone companies offer plans that allow their subscribers to make unlimited calls to their most frequently called number(s), for example:

Sprint - offers a Basic Cell Phone Plan for $34.99 a month and you can add on Unlimited PCS to Home Calls for $5 more a month, making this total plan amount $39.99 a month. This plan would allow you to make or receive unlimited calls to/from your home number for no additional charge.

T-Mobile - has the favorite 5 plan where you can make or receive unlimited calls to up to 5 different numbers for $39.99 a month.

ApogeeKits Telephone Remote Control

ApogeeKits makes a remote control via telephone electronic kit which allows a person to use a telephone to turn up to three devices on or off, adjust a thermostat, enable and disable an alarm system or activate a combination lock remotely over the phone line. They sell this kit for only $49.99.

Landline with Unlimited Nationwide Calling

I currently have unlimited nationwide calling on my homephone line through Trinsic that I pay $32.99 a month and this plan includes 3-way calling, caller id, call forwarding, call waiting, voicemail, etc. AT&T offers a similar unlimited landline phone package for $39.99 a month.

You could also use a VoIP or similar type of service like Vonage ($24.99/month), Comcast Digital Voice ($33.99/month), TelaSIP ($9/month), or ViaTalk($8.29/month) and pay even less.

My Plan

My plan is to wire this kit to my home telephone so that I can call into my home phone number from my cellphone, press a command *3 and have my home phone flash over to 3-way calling, which would create a dial tone from my phone line, I would then be able to enter the number that I wanted to call (using the combination lock feature) and the call would be made from my landline instead of my cellphone. Doing this would use zero of my actual cellphone minutes and I would thus be able to make unlimited outgoing calls without being charged any additional usage.

I could also forward this landline to my cellphone so that I could also receive unlimited calls, but I will need to somehow utilize caller id to prevent any calls made from my cellphone from being immediately forwarded.  I am still working on adding a caller id circuit into the system.

This kit also enables you to set up a 4-digit pin code to protect your line from unauthorized use.

I could even set up an 800 or 866 number on my home line that would allow me to make unlimited calls from any payphone or any other phone, however getting your own toll free number can get expensive, so I will probably skip doing this.

I am really surprised that no-one else has thought of doing this. One guy set up an Asterisk@Home Linux Phone Server to do something similar, but I want to build a simple electronic kit that can be placed inside an actual landline telephone so anyone without any technical knowledge, can simply plug this special phone into a regular home phone jack and be ready to take advantage of this trick.

If all goes well I will make special phone which will look like an ordinary home phone with a built-in answering machine which can be simply plugged into any home phone jack.

One-Time Set Up:

The user could set up a pin code, by lifting the receiver and entering command #29, they would hear a beep and they could enter any 4-digit pin that would protect the phone line from unauthorized use. There would be a switch on the side of the phone which would determine if the home line would ring once or three times before being forwarded to the cellphone. You would need to forward your homephone to your cell phone using your landline phone service. You are now ready to make or receive FREE unlimited phone calls.

To make a FREE outgoing call from your cell:
- Call your home phone number.
- Press *3, you will hear a reset and then a dial tone.
- Dial the number you wish to call.

I have not worked with regular analog telephone systems for years. Phreaking and telephonry went out in the early 90s, everyone now focuses on cellular phones and these old telephone remote controls are not often used anymore.

If I can get this to work I may one day sell these phones. However, the cell phone companies may one day offer unlimited calling for a reasonable rate and this would make a system like this obsolete, however I doubt that this will happen anytime soon because they make way too much money on the per-minute over usage charges.

I am still working a few issues out in getting this to work well, I will write back in a week or so and report on any progress and provide more details on how to do this.

Fake Caller ID, Break into Voicemail Systems

Telecom, Tricks of Trade 24 Comments »

Spoofcard offers you the ability to change or spoof what someone sees on their caller ID display when they receive a phone call. 

You can use this service to MAKE ANY PHONE NUMBER APPEAR on the caller id of the person you are calling, CHANGE YOUR VOICE, record your calls, and even GAIN ACCESS TO OTHER PEOPLE’S VOICEMAIL!

To make a call, you call into a toll-free number that they provide to you and then enter your access pin number. They will ask you to provide the 10-digit number of the person you wish to call and ask you to provide the 10-digit number that you would like to appear on the caller id.

You also have the option of digitally changing your voice to sound different, or making your voice sound like a deep pitched man or a high pitched woman. You can also record and review any calls made through the system.

With this service your calls are totally untraceable because the calls are actually made from the Spoofcard servers independently from the phone you are using.

You can get 60 minutes of talk time for only $10!

Spoofcard’s purchase page is very straight forward - select your purchase amount, either $10, $20, $40, or $80 worth of call time, enter your email address and your done. Your account is activated instantly and your PIN number and toll free access number are delivered to the email address you entered on buy page.


MAIN TRICK:

You can fool your friends or other people with this service by using this to make calls that appear to be have been made from THEIR phone number. Everyone will think that THEY made the call because THEIR number will appear on the caller id.

SECONDARY TRICKS:

Use the voice changer to mess with people and record the call.

BONUS TRICK:

If you want to break into someone’s voicemail you can simply enter their phone number as the number you wish to call and provide the exact same number as the number you wish to appear on the caller id. Their voicemail system will think that the call is being made from the home phone number or from their cellphone handset and pass you directly into the voicemail without verifying a passcode.

It makes it seem like you are trying to call the same number that you are calling from and this is usually enough to gain access to most voicemail systems!

This works especially well on cellphone voicemail systems. Both the Cingular Wireless and T-Mobile USA telephone networks use Caller ID to identify voicemail users without requiring passwords. So users on either network are totally vulnerable to this trick.

IN THE NEWS

There was even an article a while back talking about how Paris Hilton got into trouble for using this service to break into Lindsay Lohan’s voicemail. Paris also made harassing calls and made them appear to be made from Lindsay’s cellphone.

Key Benefits:

- Ability to record calls.
- Change your voice.
- Pretend to be someone else.
- Get access to someone else’s voicemail.
- Use their service to block your number from toll-free numbers which cannot be blocked using *67 because they have ANI (Automatic Number Identification) technology that cannot be blocked.
