Apparently you could record the tone it made when putting quarters in and just play it back through the mic to trick the payphones into thinking that you were putting quarters in.
Never worked for me.
Also apparently you could tear a dollar at just the right spot before feeding it into a change machine to get the quarters and your dollar back.
Never worked for me.
I remember hearing that now that you mention it. I never actually used a payphone but I remember seeing them at the mall.
Theres a pdf somewhere out there that tells you how to get into the debug menue of the vending machines that had the single column of buttons and the small red LED screen. Once your in the debug menue you can tell the machine to dump the change. I got into the menue but I was afraid to actually let it do that so i just left the machine in debug mode. Fun times at walmart.
