***************************************************************************** * THE ULTIMATE CELLULAR MODIFICATION MANUAL * * released by * * %%%%%%%% Dr. Bloodmoney %%%%%%%%%% * * June 1, 1992 * ***************************************************************************** The following information was gathered from various sources and is not meant to be a technical treatise on the cellular network. There are plenty of other files out there on the subject. This file specifically deals with the processes involved in modifying cellulars. I put together this file because I have not seen one that actually tells how to do this. When some of you start reading this you might say to yourselves "Hey, some of this is almost word for word from Brian Oblivion's article (incidently, one of the best I have seen on the subject) in Phrack #38 or so and so's article in so and so magazine". Well, not to discount anyone who has written anything on cellular phones, but all the information in this file was purchased by me from various ads in the back of various radio and communications magazines. I make no pretense as to where the original source of this material comes from. In fact, most of the t-files I have seen contain some of the Consumertronics info. word for word, and the writers try and claim it as their own. Or maybe vice versa. I make no claim to have written this manual (but beleive me after putting this together I could). The only thing I have done is spent many hours compiling what I believe to be a very good file on the subject. ============================================================================= THE ULTIMATE CELLULAR MODIFICATION MANUAL TABLE OF CONTENTS PART I.
