Phone Phreaking In The 2Ks

What's actually happening when a call is placed.

This presentation highlights several services that can be connected together in order to facilitate free national inbound and outbound calling.

This introduces the services individually and explains how they work together to provide a phone number in a local area code that can be used with a regular old phone.

Look for future presentations which will go into more detail on each of these services and how to configure them for this and other capabilities.
