*SWAT MAGAZINE ISSUE ELEVEN: NOVEMBER 1998* ********************************************************************** | .Free calls from old payphones. | | By -=The Firestarter=- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Almost everyday people out there ask the question "How do I get free calls?" and everyday they are flamed for it. So I will tell those people. I while ago it was possible to pop the coin return cover open with a screw driver and use your fingers to get back your money. But British Telescum grew wise to people vandaling there payphones. Thus the metal holding the coin slot in place is a lot thicker. But it can be beaten, oh yes. First off let me tell you that the payphone I'm talking about is the Payphone 400, most of you will know them as the rectangular ones that take cash and have a picture of a woman with a dog in it (Curse that picture and de-face it whenever possible). Ok so you'll need some of the palstic tape stuff, the kind that newsagents get there newspapers wrapped in. Ok so get some of that and go to your chosen phone box, after buring the picture of the woman with a dog pick up the phone and insert 10p. Now jam your piece of plastic up the coin return slot and jiggle it around a lot. Now if your lucky then the coin will be returned. Now repeat the process and call anyone you want to for free!
