This is not just a black piece of plastic like it appears. This is a Wrong Number Generator. Attach it to someone’s phone line and when they try to call a number, it will actually dial a different number. It has both a phone plug connection and spade connectors so you can either connect it inline with the phone or somewhere much harder to find.

Think of how much you could annoy someone with this thing. To make it even more of a nuisance, it will let the actual number be connected 25% of the time. Just to throw them off.

When your victim (wife) tries to make a call, it’ll screw up some digits and randomly dial someone. Better yet, it only does this 75% of the time, meaning that it’ll let them dial the right number 25% of the time—which allows them to think that they’ve got the sloppiest fingers in the world. We thought this would be even more exciting when someone’s trying to dial 911, but apparently it lets all of those calls through unmolested. Darn. [Spysite via Nerd Approved] [...]

    You’re trying to tell me this device would frustrate someone? Tell me this: How many people DO NOT have a phone with LCD display? A simple check of the “redial” would prove that I’m not pressing the wrong numbers. LAME GADGET!
