The precise origin of phone phreaking is disputed, as there is no one defining event when it started. One could argue that the inception of the telephone could be the origin of phreak-like experimentation. There are also reports of people playing with some of the first automatic switching equipment back in the 1920s. Modern day phreaking, however, is more likely to be traced to the United States in the mid-to-late 1950s when AT&T started introducing fully automatic direct-dial long distance and certain forms of trunking carriers which used in-band signalling. People started playing with the phone system, in a way similar to the way modern day hackers play with the Internet! Now times have changed!
