#telephoneheritage — Public Fediverse posts

Now this is a nice find!

I've been passed a scan of a notebook from the late 1950s containing details of all the #telephoneExchanges in the UK

This sort of information was used by #telephone enthusiasts (UK #phreaks) to navigate their way around the toll (trunk) network

There were various techniques to get yourself onto a trunk, but once you were there the dialling codes in this notebook would get you anywhere in the country!

This is extremely silly.

I have a Nokia 105 #phone. No data or apps. Just a plain, dumb, mobile phone

Using a sim from aa.net.uk I've connect it to the C*Net VoIP network https://ckts.info

It's accessible on a CNet number, and can place calls just like any other phone on CNet!

Do I need this?
No.

Can it make normal calls?
Absolutely not!

Is it useful?
Not in the slightest.

Is it cool as heck?
Absolutely!

I'll make a demo video later…
