Captain Crunch, a.k.a. John Draper, was famous for figuring out the Cap'n Crunch whistle given out with cereal boxes could sound a perfect 2600Hz tone. This tone was used to seize trunks on the old telephone system. He didn't whistle 'payphone tones'. And social engineering is a totally different topic, dude.
