NODE c0a51ca0Anonymous phone calls.
GRABOW_GEOFFREY@tandem.comWed, 4 May 94 23:07:10 PDT
I asked this a while ago, but my mail system has some problems and
I don't know what the responses were, if any....
Is there any way to make a phone call anonymously? Caller ID can be
blocked somewhat with one of those *## numbers dialed before the call
is made. Is there a way to route a call through a series of phone-type
remailer systems? This would allow one to make a call that would be as
hard to trace as anonymous mail.
Any ideas?

Yes, there are many ways to make nearly imposible to trace phone calls.
Unfortunately, all that I know of involve stealing telephone service /
toll fraud of some sort or another (in other words, if you are evading
the trace functions for increased privacy, you are also evading the
billing mechanisms...) For more info I suggest you moniter alt.2600,
#hack, and #phreak. Also look into buying some back issues of 2600
magazine as well as retrieving all the back issues of things like PHRACK
magazine and CuD.
Happy Hunting, -Chris.

Buy a cellular phone, and put call forwarding on it. Set the phone to
forward to your destination, then call your phone. This will block
caller ID, and make other forms of tracing more difficult.
And, in you live in Chicago, it can be used to make free phone
calls... Details on that if you ask nicely...

yes, they're called divertors and they give you a dialtone from which you
can then dial out from. how can you find one? Good question...the best
thing to do is get yourself a copy of toneloc and start scanning
exchanges for dialtones. if you find one, they often require you to dial
9, or 99 to get a live dialtone. Is this legal? another good
question... it would depend on who owns the line and if they mind you
using it, I suppose. :-)
