I expect credit on radio even though I'm not the one who figured this out.

I know Lucky225, and he's generally a good guy. He's the one who currently owns the phone number formerly assigned to the infamous "Mojave Phone Booth", which was the subject of a 2006 theatrical movie. (He turned it into a party line.)

But posting this trick was a



... except for the very short term.

This already has over 500 retweets, and obviously Caesars is going to get wind of this.

And at that point, they will either:

1) Change the code
-or-
2) Even worse, start clamping down hard on anyone who uses the code, as a potential security threat


So as tempting as it is, I would recommend NOT using this.

Wow, I guess that phone phreaker group is a small circle. I know someone that is good friends with that Lucky. Another phone phreaker in the early/mid 90s.

If the guy was around in 1991 or earlier, tell me who it is.

I might know him.

To show you how small of a world the late '80s/early '90s phreaker world was, I actually met TWO girls in my dorm freshman year who had connections to phreakers I knew.

Girl #1 went to prom with a guy I had talked to many times and was semi-friendly with.

Girl #2's ex-boyfriend had previously talked to me on a party line, learned a tactic from me to screw with (namely prank call) a small, semi-scammy long distance company, and his obsession with doing this ruined their relationship.

So I ran into exactly two people who had dated phone phreakers, and both of those phreakers had directly interacted with me in the recent past.

I had a discussion with Lucky earlier this year to record an intro to his Mojave Phone Booth number (now a partyline), giving the phone number's infamous history.

He mostly agreed to this, but we never ended up getting it done. I mainly wanted to do it so people I know, who heard of Mojave Phone Booth (or perhaps saw the movie), would call it out of curiosity and then say "WTF!!!" when they heard my voice on it.

Looks like the Caesars room search gods have taken their wrath out on Lucky.

Now he has to have his gallbladder removed.
