Ma Bell has her own language when it comes to the phone business. 
The garages where the trucks & installing equipment are kept around here are 
in New Village on Rt. 57, and in Netcong right around where Routes 46 and 80 
meet.  The CO (Central Office) is in Washington on Washington Ave just before 
you get into town if coming from Phillipsburg direction.  The garages have a 
four number gate lock and a three digit door lock.  If you can find out the 
four digit gate lock combination, the door lock is the first three digits of 
the gate's combo.  The CO however is key locked with cameras and alarms, so 
forget about getting in there, besides, the garages carry everything the 
young phreaker could want (ie. handsets, tape, switches, and other tools.) 
Now they are starting to install CEVs at places where many lines, especially 
ISDN lines, are going to.  Two I know of are outside the Garage in New 
Village and about 30 off the highway in front of the new Warren County 
Community College.  They are about 3ft. by 3ft. and stick about one and a 
half feet above the ground.  These are equipped with a number pad lock.  I'm 
not sure where the combos are kept or how many digits they are.  CEV's are 
about 4ft wide by 6ft. long and are really a little room underground.  They 
have tile floors, and are kept very clean.  If you can get into one of these, 
the possibilites are endless. 

 
Payphones.  Of course every phreak has their vision of the greatest 
pay phone scam.  One of them is probably to have a set of keys that opens 
them.  Well you can forget about that unless you are good friends with one of 
the coin collectors and can get him drunk enough to be able to steal his keys, 
or want to break into the headquarters in Newark.  That's where all of the 
coin collectors are from.  Also keep in mind, Ma Bell likes to get all of her 
money.  Security will come out to a phone the day a coin collector is going 
to be there and put some marked coins in the return slot.  They had better be 
there when the coin collector cashes out at the end of the night.  Security 
watches over these phones until the coin collector has emptied it.  So if your 
planning to do something to one of the pay phones, check the return slot 
first, and if there's money in it, leave the phone alone.  You never know if 
someone left it there, or if it's security checking in for Ma Bell. 

 
When you go out and tap into phone lines, first dial 958 to find out 
the number you're hooked up to.  That way you know your not charging your 
calls to yourself or someone you know.  Also another idea in theory right now 
is that there's a certain ordered recurring pair that make the phone lines 
connect.  But if you take and rearrange one of the pair to another pair. 
(ie. take a red from one line and a green from another line to make your 
pair.) The phone company has nothing to trace you to.  The pair is unknown to 
the computer, so no number can be traced to.  However they can still trace to 
what box your hooked up to so this just gives you a little extra time to get 
lost if you think you're being traced. 

 
Looking proffessional is the main key in getting the information and 
access you want.  If you look and act proffessional you can get into just 
about any store's or mall's phone system, including pay phone lines.  Just 
about all Bell employees wear:  A plain color hanes pocket T, jeans - even 
better if they're fading in the thighs, work boots, a belt, a pair of 
sunglasses a pen & pencil in the pocket of your shirt, possibly a pack of 
cigarettes, a clipboard or folder with some papers in it, and a pouch with a 
pair of sciccors & a pocket knife on the belt.  Also, although harder to 
attain, a handset on your jean loop, a hard hat, & a tool belt with a bunch 
of tools(doesn't matter what they are) looks very proffessional.  If you act 
proffessional and just be friendly, almost any store or mall will let you 
into their phone system.  They will also leave you alone after they show you 
where it is, afterall they have a job to do too.
