 In this phile I will discuss phree confrence calling with
 LDDS Metromedia.  I've been keeping it a secret for a while now,
 since I didn't want people to to over-(ab)use it, but I'm in a
 generous mood tonight.  LDDS will let you set up the following
 types of confrences: dial-out, 800, or 404.  The dial-out type
 is where they call you back and an operator dials everyone's
 numbers for you.  With the 800 number, they set up a custom 800
 service and people dial in and punch in a code.  Finally, the
 404 is just a number in the 404 area code that functions the
 same as the 800 number.  You can have one confrence share a 404
 and 800 number (for example, if you were haveing a confrence
 where people called from the US free of charge, and also wanted
 to allow international phreaks to call in this would be a good
 choice).  Anyway, enough bull, let's get on with setting up the
 call.

     Ok, the first thing you need to do is plan out exactly how
 you want the confrence to go.  It could range from a 3-person
 dial-out to a 30-person 800/404 dialin (there is one schedueled,
 check the end of the phile).  Anyways, just make sure you know
 what you want BEFORE you call in.  They will do whatever you
 ask them to do!  They can make a 800 call-in where there is
 no person running it (so you don't have to stand at a payfone),
 they are there to serve you, their business partner ;).  Now
 comes the phun part: pick your worst enemy and CN/A them. Just
 wait till they faint at the bill from LDDS Metromedia for $6000!
 Now, call them at (800) 226-6200 from a payfone or through
 a good diverter (you wouldn't want them getting ANI!)  Here's a 
 script you can somewhat follow: 
 
 You: 1-800-226-6200

 Ring...Ring...

 Please hold for the next available confrencing operator...

 A few seconds later...  

 LDDS: LDDS confrence center, this is (name) speaking, how may I
 help you? 

 You: Hi (name), I'd like to set up a confrence call.

 LDDS: Wonderful, have you used the LDDS confrence center before?

 You: no (if it's the first time using this name)

 LDDS: Ok, what business name would you like to set up your
 account under?

 You: Well, I'm not with any particular business, could you just
 set it up under my name?

 LDDS: Sure we can, what's your name sir?

 You: (Worst enemy's Name)

 LDDS: And your address?

 You: (Worst enemy's address with city, state, and zip) 

 LDDS: And a number you can be reached at?

 You: (Give them the number of a payphone that accepts incoming
 calls or a loop. If they are doing a dialout you'll need to
 actually be at the number you say.  Otherwise, just give them
 some random number.  If you need a payphone, try 415-948-9634. 
 It's on top of Black Mountain!)
 
 LDDS: Ok, how many parties including yourself will be in the
 confrence? 

 You: Including myself, there will be X people. 

 LDDS: Alright, and when do you want this call schedueled? 

 You: Either say the time and date you want, or say "as soon a possible
 please". They have a 10 minute gurantee if you ask for it ASAP. 

 LDDS: Alright, and would you like an operator to dial the
 numbers for you? 

 You: Either say yes, or ask for an 800 or 404 number.  Just tell
 them EXACTLY what you want, and they can most likely
 accomidate.  You can even tell them to do an 800 number where
 people can just call in at a certain time and nobody has to be
 called by the operator, thus you can safely call from your house
 because (someone said there was going to be a confrence on this
 cool BBS).  Remember, the operators can't do anything to you for
 calling into the 800.  If you want to disable ANI (so they get
 ACN-000-5555), read the directions later in the phile. 

 LDDS: If you picked the 800 or 404 service they will give you
 all the information you need.  If you picked the dialout they
 will ask if you wish to be called first or last (pick first).
 If you picked dialout they will then ask for the names and
 numbers of the people you want to contact (in order).  Give them
 the real numbers with fake names.  Make sure to tell the people
 at those numbers to answer to those fake names.

 LDDS: Alright sir, I have a confirmation number 

 You: ok 

 LDDS: (number)  

 You: (save the number because they do use it to veryify once in a while.
      they only did once with me, but just to be safe, write it down.) 

 LDDS: Thank you for using the LDDS confrencing center.  We will
 place (type of call, at this time, etc, etc, more bull...) 

 You: Thank you!

 LDDS: Thank you for using the LDDS confrencing center

 You: bye

 LDDS: bye now

     As you can see, they are VERY stupid and trusting.  They do
 absoultely NO VERIFICATION and and send a seperate bill the the
 name and address you gave them by SnailMail.  In fact, you can
 give them a fake name and address if you have no enemies and
 they will just send the bill there!  They have absolutely NO
 IDEA about shit.

 Disableing ANI:
    
     So, don't have any diverters in mind?  The operator is a PERFECT, free,
 easy to use diverter!  Just call her and tell her you get a strange error
 message when you call an 800 number and ask her to place the call for you.
 She will do it.  The operator isn't as good as an automated diverter such as
 a PBX, because Ma Bell still has records of the calls made.  The operator
 would be a good way to call into the dialin 800 confrence without being
 harassed at a later date but would NOT be a good way to set up the confrence.
 Get the picture?

 Well, I hope you enjoyed the phile.  And remember:
