This file is not in any way intended to endorse commiting fraud, rather to
show weaknesses in the cellular system that anyone could exploit.

1.) American Roaming Network

This Wireline roaming network can be reached by dialing 0 on a phone with
no service. It will first ask for the number you want to call, then you
can either chose 1 and make a collect call through an automated system or
you can bill to a calling card or credit card.
To use a calling card you just enter the card number; for a credit card
you first enter the card number, you can use mastercard or american
express, but not visa.
Then you'll be prompted for the expiration date, next it'll want the
numeric part of the billing address i.e. if the address is 476 main street
you enter 476.
Then you have to enter the zip code of the mailing address. If you try to
use a card from outside the u.s. it wont work because the system is set up
to take zip codes in 5 digit numeric format. You might be able to use a
foreign card by talking to a live operator.
You can also bill the call to a third party by pressing 0 instead of
entering a credit or calling card number and going through a live
operator.
You can set up the greeting on a direct dial voicemail so it sounds like
someones there to accept the billing, it just has to say hello then wait a
few seconds for the operator to read their script then say yes they'll
accept the call. It may take a couple tries to get the timing right.
You can call 800, 888, and 877 numbers and bill it to a credit card but
not to a calling card, third party, or collect call.

2.) Cellular Express

This non-wireline roaming system call also be reached by dialing 0 on a
phone with no service.
There are four options to chose from for placing your call.
Option one is for billing calls to a calling card, it'll ask for the
number your calling, then for the calling card number.
Option two lets you bill a call collect through an automated system.
Option three like ARN you can bill the call to a mastercard or american
express, but not to a visa. You'll be prompted for the card number, then
for the expiration date, then finally the billing zip code.
Option four allows the call to be placed using a prepaid cellular debit
account, I havent been able to do anything with this option it asks for a
ten digit cellular number.
Like ARN you can call toll free numbers and bill it to a credit card but
not to a calling card, nor can you bill collect calls to toll free
numbers.
Cellular express doesn't allow third party billing.

3.) Roaming

Thanks to our friends at the FCC cellular carriers have to honor roaming
agreements subscribers have made with other providers.
By altering the mobile number and system id on a phone with no service you
can trick the cellco into letting you place a few calls before the system
catches on.
When they block you from making calls, usally a fast busy signal, you can
change your min and sid a few times and make some more calls before they
block you for good.

4.) Social Enginering

You can dial 611 and tell customer service your having trouble placing a
call and ask them if they can try to place the call for you, if your lucky
you'll get an operator that would be more than happy to try to place the
call for you.
It helps to have a real customers name, address, mobile number, and social
security number incase they ask for it.

5.) Setting Up Accounts

Using someones name, address, phone number, and social security number you
can call customer service and set up an account over the phone with some
cellular providers.
You need someone with good credit otherwise they'll want a deposit.
Ask about different service plans and act like your actually a real
customer wanting service.
Make sure you get lots of off peak and weekend minutes so you dont flag
the account by making lots of calls that run up a huge bill fast,and be 
sure to get call waiting and three way calling, there always usefull to
have.
When they ask for your employers name tell them your self employed as a
contractor or artist and give the home phone number as the work number.
After you give them the information they'll tell you they have to run a
credit check and they'll call you back in like 15 minutes, tell them your
out running errands and that they can give you their number and you'll
call them back, they shouldn't have a problem with this.
Or if you have a loop you can use that.
The account should last until the person who's information you used to set
up the service gets the bill.

6.) Prepaid Cellular

With some service providers you can set up prepaid service over the phone
and later add time to it using a credit card.
The only bad thing about this is you usally have to talk to a live
operator to add more time.
If they ask for a social security number and you dont have one just make
one up, they only use it for security purposes when you go to add time to
your account so be sure you memorize it.

7.) Adding Accounts To Existing Service

You can call the providers customer service and tell them you want to add
another phone to your service for another family member, but the best way
is if the service belongs to a buisness that already has multiple
accounts.
All you need is the name, address, phone number, mobile number, and social
security number of someone with an account.
Follow the procedure in section 5 for handling the callback.
The account should last until the person or buisness gets their bill with
the extra account on it.
