Hehe, I blueboxed like a demon when I was 14 (1994). I was led astray by a guy who I traded C64 software with. The box was my Commodore 64's soundchip and a piece of software. You'd ring an overseas 0800 number (Barbados for instance) and 'break' the line with a 2600 tone. Then, you'd issue a series of other tones which were the USA number you wanted to phone.
I got free phone calls from the UK to USA for a while, and all I did was listen to a band's Dial-a-Song and chat lines. It was fun though.
The best thing is, I never got caught...
The ability to call the USA from the UK this way, ended in about 1996.
