Anonymous phone calls.
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? G.C.G. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | Geoffrey C.

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.

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... -ck
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. :-) -Jay ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PGP Public Key Available via finger.
