Phreaking is a slang term coined to describe the activity of a culture of people who study, experiment with, or explore, telecommunication systems, such as equipment and systems connected to public telephone networks. The term phreak is a sensational spelling of the word freak with the ph- from phone, and may also refer to the use of various audio frequencies to manipulate a phone system. Phreak, phreaker, or phone phreak are names used for and by individuals who participate in phreaking.
Anyone ever get into this? I know someone who used to do it back in the day, i should ask them more about it.

Back in jr high school I set up my computer to find MCI long distance access codes. Me and my friends never had to pay log distance. One of my friends ended up marrying this Russian chick he got to know using our free long distance .

no, the only thing i know about phreaking is from like Hackers or, no,...lol, that other one with hacking...Net something. lol
but it's a cool idea. the telecommunications is an integral part of the the modern influence of technology and on societies at large, in a way, it is certainly an art form, in and of itself, it has given people the ability to communicate in a completely different way...to subvert that system in any way, that can be deemed artistic, certainly...artistic just in the same way if one had built a telegraph device; or made a telegram.

He met her when the school band went on a trip to Moscow. She was definitely angling for a green card, and they didn't stay married for long but that was his fault not hers. They got married when they were 19 or around that age.

I used to fuck around with phone lines a lot as a young teen, I had like this one phone that the telecommunications people used to test the lines, and like I'd connect that shit to Some wires on the side of the house and I'd listen in on incoming and outgoing phone calls. I'd also play like fbi or wutevr and I'd connect some shit to the phones to record convos my older sister would have with her friends, and I'd be hearing it through some wireless headphones I hooked up.

I thought this thread was going to be about "freaking" black & milds, taking out the tobacco and cardboard-like lining inside, before stuffing the tobacco or weed back in.

anyone get a cross connection before? i remember getting once and i heard someone like talking and crying to someone else on the other line, and like she was clearly sitting on the throne taking a piss. eventually i had to hang up to call my friend back, but this freakishness was just too much to pass up, it was like looking into another world, but it started to become rather harrowing and creepy to continually listen on this crying woman who very well could have been my lovely seeming neighbor.
weird.

I found this oldschool sony cellphone years ago walking back from school. I booted it up and there wasnt any service or info on it so I stashed it away somewhere. A few days later when I went to grab it I dropped it and it came apart. When I put everything together again and booted it back up it suddenly had access to the cell towers and I could text, call and use the internet. It only lasted a month, but it was hella cool while it lasted.

I know / They smoke great though and without that cardboard-like "cancer paper" in every blunt, taste much better. Although, one has to use way more weed than they would splitting and rolling a blunt, since it'd all fall out, or have too much airflow, if not packed pretty tightly

You mean you wouldn't smoke as is, or you wouldn't smoked a freaked black (filled with weed) either? They're pretty different freaked like I said, the inner lining that's removed is thicker than the outer "leaf" layer.
