I dont recomend you actually use this loophole, but rather just retain the knowledge, as knowledge is power.(ROUND 1 FIGHT!) ================================================================================================= Introduction: I needed to call a good friend of mine.. having no calling cards and not being able to call direct, I thought of the possibilities. I have PBXs, out dials, social engineering, but I didn't feel a need to make an illegal call as it was a serious matter. Rooting around some old back up CDs i found this one text, TTY.TXT, a text documenting the telus relay service.(by me!) I think it was just information i ripped from telus' site or something sometime ago, as it was all very basic. However I re-taught myself the terms used in TTY, then I read on, and got to the part about HCOs and VCOs. This loophole will alow you to make a phone call from alberta to anywhere in canada with 50% off the long distance charges. Also my phone book says gimps using TTY get free local calling (bring yer computer to the payphone). I am not sure if this is still true as the phone book is not the newest available... No biggie, but keep in mind its legit! (but you tie up gimpers relay service, kind of like parking in a handi-capped spot. Or maybe even that time you took a shit in the fat ass stall that has more square feet then your bedroom. This txt should be labeled as a DoS really) ================================================================================================= The Loophole: VCO stands for Voice Carry Over, while HCO means Hearing Carry Over. If you do not have basic knowledge on TTY, go read my TTY text. I will rip the important stuff; In a TTY call, VCO enables you to speak directly to the person you are calling, for hearing impaired people who can speak clearly. When you connect to a CA, just say 'requesting VCO, GA' or equivelant to use this feature. VCO can only be turned on when the call is answered, to which she will announce 'VCO on GA' or something. HCO, Hearing Carry Over(you can hear but can't talk, same as above but reverse.) If you don't already know where this is going..... TTY your ass to 711: - Heres an example transcript; TRS CA: "Telus Relay Service this is Anne, may I help you q, GA" You: "Yes please, im trying to call my friend Steven Thrasher at 403-265-2307 GA" TRS CA: "One moment please GA" You: "No problem, GA" ...CA rings Steven, confirms he knows how to use TTY, the call is connected... TRS CA: "Hey Jon, whats up q GA" You: "Sup stevie... oh yo yo yo I found my hearing aids CA can i request an HCO q GA" TRS CA: "Heh you always lose them things... HCO on GA" You: "GA on HCO" HCO is now enabled. You still type your messages to the TRC CA to Stevie, but you save the op having to type what Steve says, so you request a VCO; You: "CA: That dirty dog steve wants me to tell him this joke myself! requesting VCO" When the CA does a VCO press your thumb onto your neck, putting pressure on your voice box, and emulate an electronic voice box(practise finding the right spot before requesting the VCO), and tell the operator that you can take things from here. Thats all there is too it. To do this you will need a TTY that supports HCO and VCO(can be expensive) However, i have fathomed the idea of building&coding a baudot emulator to be used with an acoustic coupler from the handset to the soundcard speaker/mic and a parallel port for toggling HCO and VCO to your headset. Firstly i would need a job, or an accomplise to help me rob radio shack. props: pooly, Lucky225, theclone, Mark Hubber, PSYKO, and the Zig-Zag man. plops: TRON(fag teeth)
