without actually handing out codes. First, an example port. The example I am |
using is the 800 port for Louisville, KY. |
1-800-626-9600 |
This is the port. If you are not familiar with TMC, you may want to call it |
to see what it sounds like. So let's say you call it and recognize it as a |
TMC. What next? Well, a good bet would be to run a standard "code-hack" |
program on it... Set it for seven digits, 1+ the number, and note that TMC |
codes start with 0 on more than 50% of the ports I have seen. So let's say |
that you then get this list of (fictional) codes... |
0347589 |
0347889 |
0348179 |
0350358 |
0355408 |
At first glance, this may look like a series of "random" numbers. But, look |
closer. These numbers are based on a checksum. It is as follows... |
Code Format: 03xabcy |
x+y=13 |
(In the first code, x=4 and y=9, and, of course, 4+9=13) |
a+c=15 |
(Here, a=7 and c=8, and 7+8=15) |
b=1 to 9 |
(Digit "b" is unrelated to the rest of the numbers. It could, for example, be |
varied from 1-9 to possibly find more working codes) |
Also note that 0+5 would equal 15, since the 0 is really a 10. Really! |
Please note that the above formula is only fictional. I wouldn't want to |
possibly cause loss to TMC by giving away codes on their system! |
Is that all? |
No, of course not. TMC, in their love of telecom enthusiasts, has also put an |
additional prize in the Krackerjack box. The vast majority of TMC ports have |
"Outside Line" codes, which is a 2 or 3 digit number, that, when entered after |
certain codes, will give an AT&T dialtone. This is apparently a holdover from |
the fact that they are using PBX equipment. Anyway, if anyone is asking why |
you'd want an AT&T dialtone, (does anyone need to ask?) it will allow |
unrestricted calling. This, of course, means 976's, 900's, Alliance |
Teleconf., international calling, etc... Naturally, I can't list any of these, |
but I can say that if it is 2 digits, it would start with any number from 2-9 |
and end in 8 or 9. If it is three digits, it will almost always start with 6, |
and be followed by any two digits. Some possible outside line codes would be |
59, 69, 89, 99, 626, 636, 628, etc... These, of course, are only examples of |
possible codes. As I mentioned, these O/S line codes are entered after the |
seven digit code. The O/S line codes only work after certain 7-digit codes, |
and from my experience, the 7-digit codes that they work with normally can't |
be used for the usual 7 digits+1+number dialing. I can find no apparent |
pattern to the codes that they do work with, so you will have to find them by |
trial-and-error. |
What, you want more? |
Ok, well, here's a few 800 ports... |
1-800-433-1440 1-800-227-0073 1-800-331-9922 1-800-451-2300 |
1-800-354-9379 1-800-248-4200 1-800-531-5084 1-800-351-9800 |
Closing. |
Please note that this article is only intended as an overview of TMC and why |
they would/wouldn't be a good choice for your long distance needs. And |
goodness me, don't use any of this information in an illegal way! |
