[comp.dcom.telecom] Ringbacks Revisited

C483307@umcvmb.bitnet (Kevin Lightner) (04/21/89)

I once read about these ringback numbers in a magazine called Phrack Inc.  I
have recycled the information here.  Below is a partial listing of the ringback
numbers for people in the St. Louis, Missouri (314 NPA) area.  To get your
phone to ring;

1.  Lets say your phone number begins with 432.  Find the CODE for 432, in this
    case the CODE is 575.

2.  Dial 575-XXXX (where XXXX = the last four digits of YOUR phone number).

3.  Wait for the other end to answer.  You should hear a low pitched tone at
    this point.

4.  Flash the switch hook of your telephone and wait for what sounds like a
    faint dial tone.

5.  Hang up your telephone.

6.  <Ring> <ring>   :-)
