We all know that you might have extra phones you want connected as freebies. Not Western Electric phones, of course. Remember, the phone company frowns upon hooking them up yourself, so we suggest you have a friend do it. IN NEED how do we communicate with our people serving time in Nam? WPAX has a way. They're putting rock and soul and rap and education tapes on the air through Radio Hanoi, who is donating free air time to broadcast these "subversive" sounds, now banned by our government stations. But WPAX needs your blank and recorded tapes, and of course, bread. Send what you can. If you want to record your own show to be aired, ask them for details and they'll be happy to supply them. MINEOLA, LI--Armed with a court order, detectives of the prosecutor's rackets bureau and telephone company personnel searched the home at 26 Henhawk Road last night. They said they found a small box measuring 5 by 6 by 3.5 inches attached to a youth's room. The prosecutor did not say who had made the box. The telephone company said similar devices had been used elsewhere in the country before. The telephone company became suspicious when computer cards showing the amount of time used for information calls indicated that some calls were taking much more than the usual one to three minutes. CAUTION (from issue 2) July 1971. YIPL does not advocate making free calls. However, YIPL doesnt believe in paying for calls either. If caught, you may be charged with fraud and theft of services. So consider carefully whether you need to make long distance calls, and if you do,, consider whether of not you believe in f r e e s p e e c h.

If you want to discuss this further, call me up sometime. Because of all the agencies claiming to have me under surveillance, it's one of the fastest ways to speak directly to your government." --Abbie Hoffman-- BELL EMPLOYEES!!! (FROM ISSUE 3- AUGUST/71) If you are a Bell System employee, you know well enough just what a skinflint company you work for. Write us your documented experiences about working for the largest most powerful piece of shit in the whole world. If you don't work for the phone company but know someone who does, tell them to write us. Other suggestions would be to post issues of YIPL inside the telephone building of key places where pissed- off workers are likely to see it. We want to have specific examples of sexism, racism, anti-semitism, pigism, and any other ism you can think of. ANYONE SUBSCRIBING to YIPL should be aware that they are probably under observation by the FBI, the phone company, and their local precinct. For that reason, we strongly urge that you be wary of your telphone, (hey sorry about the fuckin typo) because if you're doing anything that's against the law, that's how they'll try to get you. They've got your number. When sending in phone bills, or income tax returns, forgetting to put a stamp on the envelope won't hold up delivery. So when you do such things, save 8 cents. HE HAD THEIR NUMBER (issue 8) A Los Angeles man who figured out how to tap himself into PacTel's computer by using his pushbutton fone was arrested Tuesday for stealing more than $1M worth of the company's equipment. Police said Jerry N Schneider, 21, had been ordering the computer to have equipment sent to a company warehouse where he had acquired keys, and he picked it up early in the morning hours before warehousemen arrived. The gambit became so successful, police said, that Schneider started his own business selling telephone equipment, and had hired 10 employees to help him. Dear YIPL, here's a toll free loop around no. in Miami. 821-9005 or 821- 9006 (often busy). You can get free local service by calling the operator and saying "Operator I just lost my dime in the fucking fone" and she'll either give a free call or she'll send you a dime in the mail. By the way, always call the operator after a fone call and ask her to refund the 45 cents you lost before you found out the phone was buster (the one across the street) or when at home, after you made a cheap call, call the operator and say you didnt get thru but got a recording instead and you want credit for the call. Many Bell offices accept collect calls, as do some pig corporations. Sunday I tried to call London and the overseas operator got suspicious and put a recorder on the line so I hung up the phone and ran across the street and a pig car came within 30 seconds. Whew! I didnt know you could get a pig that fast even if you called for one. Tell everyone about being careful with overseas operators! Keep on dialing. MF. Somewhere, USA. Here's a little trick I picked up and I'm letting you know in case there is a need to stop traffic in LA. The signal boxes on streetcorners can be opened by a sharp blow with ones fist on the side of the box even level with the keyhole. Now the door will swing open and one can control or stop or freeze the signal. Can be useful if you're in a hurry. Here is a tip for people who are going across country. Take along phone numbers on both coasts that wont answer. Whenever you stop near a pay phone tell the operator you want to call the further away of the numbers, and put the coins in the phone. After she returns the money, insist that it didnt come back. Give her the address you're going to and when you get there you'll have lots of refunds waiting. I also think it's a good idea to dial operatore whenever you're near a payphone and say you lost a dime and already made the call, so would they send you the dime. Then select a random name for them to send it to from the phone book. Readers who missed the Phirst International Phone Phreak Convention will be able to read about it in the latest issue of Ramparts Magazine, and in Telephony, the magazine of the Telephone industry. The Telephony article, though somewhat biased, plugged our address for company execs, advising them not to reveal identities when writing us. Cute, huh? Now we've got AT&Ts execs reading YIPL! However, we applaud Telphony on the rediculous accuracy of their name, and salute their new readers with finger upheld! If fone freaks want to get in touch with each other, try these Colorado loops. They are not free, so dont call from a home fone cause they'll cost ya. area code: 303 343-0009 & 343-0068 One of each has a 355-8414 & 355-8424 tone, which stops 758-0009 & 758-0000 if someone then calls the other number, and then you and they can talk. We suggest not giving out numbers because they are monitored, but exchange info if you want. Don't stay on long. If you are approached by the phone co., do not tell them a thing, but try to find out what they want, and after they ask you that first question, kick them out. Refuse to say a word. They are not police. They cannot arrest, subpeona, question or even ejaculate. Speak to a lawyer, one who you can relate to. Even if they come with police or campus officials, you dont have to answer any questions or let them in, if they dont have a warrant to search or arrest you, which they usually wont. Too many people have been screwed by trying to outguess or lie to them when they come to talk, so DONT TALK. TELL THEM YOU WILL NOT SPEAK TO THEM, AND THEY SHOULD GET OUT. This infuriates them more than anything. Make sure your friends read this issue, and understand that when you deal with pigs, you're bound to step in it. -always sound middle aged, and in a hurry and pissed at operators, but willing to give her one chance. DONT GET BUSTED (march/april '73) Phone phreaking, perhaps more than any other pastime, requires a great deal of savoir faire. If you want to be free to phreak, you have to know how to watch your step. There is a definite art to speaking on the telephone. For example: it simply isnt cool to call up a friend and speak openly about illegal activities. The chances of a phreak's call being tapped are significant, and your friend wont appreciate it either. Wait for operators to click off before beeping. Other common sense rules include not giving out the names and numbers or those places where phone phreaks hang out or buy their equipment. Listen always for the operator to click off, and even then never assume the line is completely cool. Also remember short frequent calls are more effective than long calls. The fewer times you continue to use the same phone location the cooler it is also. Many of the phone phreaks whom we know have been busted have known common sense rules in general, but trusted too many people into their confidence. As a rule, never let too many people know you are a phone phreak; informing by others is the most common bust. Sometimes these informants turn out to be "friends". If you suspect someone is going to bust you stop phreaking for a while. This goes for any suspicions you mmight have. If you feel heat merely stop phreaking or find a totally new location. Remember above all that using your home phone for blueboxes is the easiest way to have Ma Bell come knocking at your door. Play it cool, and dont pay. Dear YIPL, While on the phone with a friend, I heard clicks on the line. Then an operator came in and told me that there was another party trying to reach me and that it was an emergency. I heard the clicks a long time and when I asked her why she was listening in so long she told me she was trying to find out if my conversation was important enough to break into. And when I asked her her name, she hung up. -RK, NY- Toll restrictors are usually used at motels that have direct dial out type phones. 9 or 8 gets an outside line. Try this. Dial the one digit required to get a dialtone (usually 8 or 9) then dial the first two digits of the exchange you're in plus the digit 1 and you will find a new dialtone and the world at your fingertips. You may dial direct and the motel line is charged for the call, or you may use your favorite box without worry, assuming you have used another name at the register.
