Ok so this is a questions about phone phreaking. I am sure that if you are into this, then you already known what a phreak is. Basically a phreak is a phone hacker that uses signals to hack peoples phones and then use these hacked phone lines as a mask to call internationally and long distance without being billed, because the victim of the hacking will get billed instead.
Basically, my friend and I were hanging out today and he got a call from this phone number: 1-111-111-161 and he looks at it and shows me and he's like, "wtf is this number, I'm just going to ignore it." So he ignores it and they call back. So he ignores it again and decides to call it back from his work phone number. He calls the number and the person on the other end goes "Is this Kyle Smith?" (which is my friends name) and he replies "yes" then the guy stops talking he hears a weird series of clicks and then the phone hangs up. The phone call lasted around 20 seconds.
My friend starts freaking out and getting all paranoid that his cell is being traced so he starts doing some research. He calls the number back like 20 minutes later and he gets the "I'm sorry, this verizon number has been disconnected... blah blah blah." Anyway, we start doing some research on the dial code 111, and it turns out that this is a number used by government authorities and phone phreaks (hackers).
If anyone knows anything about phone phreaking and could provide some information that would totally help me out.
