There are no "members" here -- only participants.

I used to have two numbers to the two different cell companies.

It goes to the local cell tower and gives you a dial tone then you dial
the cell number, of the long distance cell phone without long distance
charges.

Hmm. Sounds illegal.

My daughters phone is from a Mayer land account.

If I dial [redacted] and then [redacted] it rings

Any clue as to the numbers

Cell [redacted]-(AT&T)

On the surface this is an attempt to learn how to steal long distance
service. More likely it's someone posting the phone number of someone he
doesn't like in hopes that others will make annoying calls to the intended
victim.


Yep. Used to be some early PABx systems that if you went to the voice mail
or auto attendant you could dial the logical extension number for one of the
outgoing lines, pick up a dial tone, and then dial out. I do not know of
any that are still in service that have not been upgraded to prevent this
problem. There are still many logically layed out like that, but none that
I am aware of that don't have a security feature which prevents sending
tones or pulses from an incoming line. (The tones are actually filtered
which prevents use of a hand held dialer) There are also some that promote
it as a feature and provide the ability to set a security code to allow
outward dialing from an incoming trunk line. Still, this sounds like
hacking or (technically phreaking not hacking) for getting around long
distance service charges.

If you are legitimate, just get her and yourself a couple cell phones on the
same service. Most will not charge any long distance and air time is free
between users on the same network with most cell providers.
