How-to: Phreaking your iPod (DTMF)
DTMF stands for Dual Tone Multi Frequency. Using these tones will – in theory – grant you special access to switch functions through telephone carriers.
Due to the highly illegal nature of creating any one of these dialers, I won’t go into the actual details required to turn your iPod – or any other MP3 player – into a tone dialer. I’ll give you a reassuring kick though on getting a Blue Box iPod.

- Import into iTunes and create playlist
- Set a 5 second delay between tracks before importing on to iPod
- Place earphone on the mic end of a telephone and play
