# Blue Box

> "A **blue box** is an [electronic device](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronics) that produces tones used to generate the [in-band signaling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-band_signaling) tones formerly used within the North American long-distance telephone network to send line status and called number information over voice circuits. This allowed the user, referred to as a ["phreaker"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phreaking), to surreptitiously place long-distance calls that would be billed to another number or dismissed entirely as an incomplete call. A number of similar "color boxes" were also created to control other aspects of the phone network." - Wikipedia
