Hi, just a quick question, in the newer style BT phone boxes (seems to be in the last 2 years or so from what i've seen), the bottom section of the payphone seems to have these two kinda screw shaped holes. One of them is square-ish, and will turn, but won't screw out, it just keeps on turning, and the other looks like a big, plastic screw, but also won't screw out, as it were.

Does anyone know how to open these? I've checked deja, can't find anything related to this, and as 99% of traffic on all phreaking related newsgroups seems to be either a) 0800 number ISP's, or b) bloody pay-as-you-go cell phone cards, i thought i'd actually ask something someone might respond to. Oh - and i'd rather not harm the payphone in any way, just looking to get the bottom box open (the box-able part). Thanks in advance for any response, mail or news. -- Thanks, Chris Pike senorchris AT btinternet DOT com 'We have to believe in the power of imagination because it's all we have, and ours is stronger than theirs.' - The Lone Ranger Gandalf 15.3.00.

Didn't have you down for a troll, but never mind.

Are you saying you have no knowledge on this subject, or merely unwilling to part with it? Either way, i appreciate the prompt response.

How to open a bt payphone OK First of all, this is obviously to expand your knowledge for interest purposes only and you would not want to break the law and steal from them, and by reading this you agree not to hold me responsible for your info, BUT basically all you do is drill a small hole below the lower of the screws. Like so ------------------- o O . -------------------- o square bolt O key.

Spark New Zealand (formerly Telecom New Zealand) is a New Zealand telecommunications company providing fixed line telephone services, a.

Then wiggle a screw driver in the hole until you can turn the square one properly (youll know what i mean when it works) then turn it anticlockwise and the case will come off. (be descreet, put some compound in the drilled hole and paint it black and you can keep on using it again and again.) But dont say i didnt warn you!!! Breaking into payphones is bad, ilearnt my lesson, i dont do it any more so DONT (just so i can at least say i was promoting being nice:) Good luck Senorchris wrote in message. >Hi, just a quick question, in the newer style BT phone boxes (seems to be in >the last 2 years or so from what i've seen), the bottom section of the >payphone seems to have these two kinda screw shaped holes.
