8/70: repair number
Name: The Scanner 20
Date: 2:34 pm Tue Apr 28, 1987
Would the repair number used for a payphone be the same as a residence repair
number? Also, Doesnt the place that houses the phone (say a gas station) don't
they get a cut of the profits from the phone? If they do,
wouldnt they have the repair number?

Why are there PBXs that give a loud tone before the code. And does anyone
know what the difference is between the ANI-D jack and regular ANI is?
10/70: Red-boxing

I saw before that someone mentioned that the amount of money entered into a
payphone of some kind is not kept track of. If this is true then it would
seem impossible for MA DUMBELL to ever catch on to red-boxing. That is if
AT&T phones don't have a money counter in them. TK-When the money was
collected from the payphone, did you notice whether he had the amount of money
that was "supposed" to be in there? Or whether he even checked it?
If the money is counted then it is possible that the person who collects the
coins would get in trouble for not reporting all the money that was
registered. The money not being there because of redboxing.
It is also possible to red box off of blue AT&T payphones (without a money
slot). I am curious whether that can EVER be found out, since there is no
money counter (obviously) to check.

Next time I see the guy there, I'll ask him, but I did see him write a few
things down. None that I could decipher meant anything related to money so
I'm not sure if there was a counter in it. I'll have to check it out though

That was supposed to be "Payfone Muting".
In anycase, on most new payfones, they have what is called "Muting"
which "mutes"-out any red box tones from entering through the Mouthpiece.
Those new non-coin-slot payfones should have those, but I've never tried.

Are there any noticable effects from having one of these on your line? Static,
a low hum in the background, or line noise where there shouldn't be?
