How to
Build a SILVER BOX
=======================================
ATTENTION:
BE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO SOLDER! THIS
COULD PERMENANTLY DAMAGE YOUR PHONE!!!
READ EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Ingreadients:
1 Blue wire about 1 foot.
1 Gray wire about 1 foot.
1 Brown wire about 1 foot.
(Better to overkill....)
1 Single pole/Double throw
(SPDT) switch. (Smallest
you can find.)
1 Standard bell phone.
Tools:
1 Soldering Iron and Solder.
1 flat-tip screwdriver.
1 Very patcient person.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
1: Take the casing off your phone by
loosening the two screws
underneath it. (Don't take the
screws all the way off!)
2: Loosen (But don't remove) the
screws on the side of the touch-
tone keypad. (The ones that attach
it to the mounting bracket.) and
CAREFULLY remove the keypad from
the mounting bracket.
3: You will notice a plastic cover on
the keypad; seperate the two
halves and get the out of your
way. (Don't destroy them, you will
need them later.)
4: Now, look at the top of the pad
(so the 123 row is facing away,
and the *0# row is toward you.
Turn over the keypad. You should
see a mass of wires, gold plated
contacts, discrete components, and
two large doughnut shaped black
thingies. (These are the coils hat
make the touch-tone frequencies.
All you are going to do is connect
the wires that Ma Bell "Forgot"
to.)
5: Look at the coil on the left (with
5 solder contacts facing you,
rather than being perpendicular to
you.) Count over 4 contacts FROM
the left (or 2 conacts FROM the
right) and solder the GRAY wire to
the fourth post FROM the left.
6: Solder the other end of the GRAY
wire to the LEFT pole of the SPDT
switch.
7: (The point of no return)..........
Take a look at the bottom edge of
the keypad. You should see a row
of three gold plated contacts (to
the right of two very large
capasitors) look at the one on the
left and GENTELY seperate the two
touching connectors (They are
soldered together with a drop of
solder) and spread them apart.
8: Solder the brown wire to the top
contact (The one futhest from
you), and solder it to the RIGHT
pole of SPDT switch.
9: Now, take the blue wire and solder
it to the bottom (Closest)
contact. Solder the other end of
this wire to the CENTER pole of
SPDT switch.
***************************************
DONE
***************************************
10: Now put you phone back together.
(To make it look professonal, make
a hole in the plastic top of your
phone and stick the SPDT switch
through it.
Now, (Hopefully) when the switch is
in on position you will have a normal
phone and when it is in the other
position the 3, 6, 9, and # keys (Which
are now the A, B, C, and D keys) will
magically produce the SILVER BOX TONES!

USING A
SILVER BOX
-----------------------------------
First off, a silver box adds the
four extra tones to your phone that
Ma Bell never told you about. They go
like this:
1 2 3 A
4 5 6 B
7 8 9 C
* 0 # D
There used to be many places were
you could use SILVER BOX tones, but
now you can only use it in places were
Ma Bell hasn't gotten around to
replacing here old switchboxes,
(4A), or on Autovan.
Autovan is a special military phone
line, like a mass of private lines
hooked together (I think, but I'm not
sure).
To see if a specific area has the
old 4A switchboxes try this test:
Call up there directory assistance by
using XXX-555-1212, (Where XXX is
the area code you are check out. Now
hold down the "D" key as soon as you
finish dialing. (If you are using the
SILVER BOX that I showed you how to
make; Switch to SILVER BOX tones
and hold down the "#" key.) The phone
should start ringing and the operator
will answer.
If the operator screams at you to
stop pressing your keypad, then hang
up and try a diffrent areacode. (This
one does not work.)
If you get a pulsing tone the you got
a good line! Now try out different
numbers. 6 and 7 usually form a loop
line and two people with SILVER
BOXES can talk. But some of these
are whatched, so DON'T say anything
you wouldn't want your mother to
hear!
I have heard the 213 works but is
being watched. Try out of the way
states like Iowa, Monatana, Wyoming,
ect...

* How to build a BLACK BOX *
* *
***************************************
To all who dare --
What is a BLACK BOX? A BLACK BOX
is a device that is hooked up to your
fone that fixes your fone so that when
you get a call, the caller doesn't get
charged for the call. This is good for
calls up to 1/2 hour, after 1/2 hour
the Fone Co. gets suspicious, and then
you can guess what happens.
The way it works:
What this little beauty does is
keep the line voltage from dropping to
10v when you answer your fone. The
line is insted kept at 36v and it will
make the fone think that it is still
ringing while your talking. The reason
for the 1/2 hour time limit is that the
Fone CO. thinks that something is wrong
after 1/2 an hour of ringing.
All parts are available Radio
Shack. Using the least possible parts
and arangement, the cost is $0.98 !!!!
And that is parts for two of them!
Talk about a deal! If you want to
splurge then you can get a small PC
board, and a switch. There are two
schematics for this box, one is for
most normal fones. The second one is
for fones that don't work with the
first. It was made for use with a Bell
Trimline touch tone fone.
** Schematic 1 for most fones **
** LED ON: BOX ON **
FROM >--------------------GREEN-> TO
LINE >--! 1.8k LED !---RED--> FONE
!--/\/\/\--!>--!
! !
------>/<-------
SPST
Parts: 1 1.8k 1/2 watt resistor
1 1.5v LED
1 SPST switch
You may just have two wires which you
connect together for the switch.
** Schematic 2 for all fones **
** LED ON: BOX OFF **

LINE >------- ---RED--> FONE

---/\/\/---
1.8k
Parts: 1 1.8k 1/2 watt resistor
1 1.5v LED
1 DPST switch
Here is the PC board layout that I
recommend using. It is neat and is
very easy to hook up.

************** ****************
Once you have hooked up all the
parts, you must figure out what set of
wires go to the line and which go to
the fone. This is because of the fact
that LED's must be put in, in a certain
direction. Depending on which way you
put the LED is what controls what wires
are for the line & fone.
How to find out:
Hook up the box in one direction
using one set of wires for line and the
other for fone.
*NOTE* For Model I switch should be OFF.
*NOTE* For Model ][ switch should be
set to side connecting the led.
Once you have hooked it up, then
pick up the fone and see if the LED is
on. If it is, the LED will be lit. If
is doesn't light then switch the wires
and try again. Once you know which are
which then label them. *NOTE* - If
neither directions worked then your
switch was in the wrong position. Now
lable the switch in its current
position as BOX ON.
How to use it:
The purpose of this box is not to
poeple who call you so it would make
sence that it can only be used to
receive! calls. When the box is *ON*
then you may only recieve calls. Your
fone will ring like normal and the LED
on the box will flash. If you answer
the fone now, then the LED will
light and the caller will not be charged.
Hang up the fone after you are done
talking like normal. You will not be
able to get a dial-tone or call when
the box is on, so turn the box *OFF*
for normal calls. I don't recommend
that you leave it on all the time, as
you don't want it to answer when Ma
Bell calls!
