phreaking

The pure art of achieving free phone calls through the use of a colored box. The two main boxes are the Blue Box and Red Box. The Blue Box puts you in an empty tandam from which you can dial anywhere in the world, where the Red Box imitates the tones of the coins droping into the phone. However, these boxes no longer work on most pay phones anymore due to the digitizing of switches.

I am redboxing the phone.
I am blueboxing the phone.
I am phreaking.
