                      [ESSENCE OF TELEPHONE CONFERENCING]

                               [FOREST  RANGER]
        
     Telephone conferencing is an easy way of getting many friends
together at once. This can be accomplished easily with little or no
trouble what so ever.  The techniques that I will teach you do not
require a blue box or a touch tone phone line. The only prerequisite
is that you have a phone that has a tone switch on it or have a
hookable touch tone keypad. Now, if you are the paranoid type of
person and refuse to use your own phone out of your house then here
are some simple ways of getting conferences started from another
phone.  Go to a mall or a place where you know the phone is being
paid for by the business it is in.
        
     Now there are two ways to call the conference operator; dial "0"
to get your local operator so she can put you through to the
conference operator or dial the conference operator directly if you
have the number handy. The system you will be linked up to is called
the "Alliance" system. There are three branches; 1000,2000,3000.
        
     Now once you have gotten the conference operator you tell her
you would like to start a conference and you would like to maintain
control of it. She will then proceed to ask you for your name and
number. You will then give her a fake name and the number of the pay
phone. She will hang up and call you back once she has checked the
number. They usually don't realize it is a payphone so don't think it
won't work! Now once the operator has given you control you will then
proceed to hack my voice phone and put me on the conference.
        
     Now, the other way of starting a conference in which you don't
get a live operator is a "PBX". With this you will call a PBX number
and you will then receive a recording of a business or office co.
Then when the recording is over you will hear a beep...then after
about 10-30 seconds after the beep you will get a dial tone on the
end of the PBX.  You will then type the PBX code which will then
respond with a recording welcoming you to the conferencing network
(which will in most if not all be the "Alliance" system).
        
     It will be self explanatory from there. Now if you don't wish to
call the conference operator either way already explained then there
is a way of getting your friends in conference. This is done over a
loop extension. No one will have control, but you will still be on
conference. This is called the seven line loop extension. This means
you can have up to seven members, but that is it! The number is in
LA, CA. 213-206-2820. The last way I will explain to you if you are
in desperate need of a conference is to go to pay phone like I
mentioned before and make sure some business pays the bill for it
then call the conference operator in the fashions mentioned and ask
the conference operator to place conference calls.
        
     They will then ask for the numbers of the people to put on
conference, you give her the numbers and she will put you all on
conference.  When you are done you will hang up on her so there will
be no one in control. That means the conference will be billed to the
payphone and no one can be blamed for the conference due to no one
being in control! ***NOTE*** the conference operator will not be on
while you are all talking! Remember that conferences are not hard and
it is very hard to get arrested on one due to what I have mentioned.
        
                Remember:reach out and phreak someone!
        
        [Telephone Conference Controls]
        
           # - control mode
           # - 6 passes control
           # - 1 + area code & number adds
           # - 9 silent mode
           # - 7 gets conference operator
           * - ends conference
        
     The "#" is the control key on your conferences. When you pass
control to someone else hit the "#" then "6". Wait for the recording
to say enter # of person to pass control to, then enter the number of
the person you are going to give control to.
        
     To add a person on to the conference hit "#" then "1","area
code","number". When the person answers wait five seconds then hit
the "#" to add. If you are in control of the conference and you want
to hear everyone else, but you do not want to be heard hit "#" then
"9" then the "#" to rejoin the conference. Remember after adding
someone on or passing control to someone you must always hit the "#"
to rejoin the others on conference: passing control: "#","6", wait
for recording to say enter number of party to give control to then
enter number and hit "#" to rejoin your conference. If you ever want
to get a conference operator for some strange reason then hit "#","7"
and wait for a conference operator to click on. To end a conference
hit "*".
