Telecommunications crime is the fraudulent use of any
telephone, microwave, satellite or other
telecommunications system. One of the largest "markets" for this type of fraud is the cloning of
cellular telephones, a relatively simple procedure that can be done with the purchase of over-the-counter electronic equipment. Phreak is short for phone phreak, a hacker of the telephone system. A phreak, (or a phreaker) is someone who wants to learn about the telephone system. Some people who claim to be phreaks are thieves who do nothing but rip off long distance service. A phreak is not someone who destroys phone property if it's not necessary for the advancement of their knowledge of said system.
