Is it possible to tap a wireless landline phone?

My land phone rings once after with an unlisted number, after I hang it up. Is it Tapped?

  • When I hang up my landline phone after being on a call, it immediatly rings once from an unlisted number. I have been looking around on the internet and have discovered that there are devices that once attached to your phone line need to be called by the person tapping them to activate the tap. This is probably all done automatically, and if someone does have my phone tapped their system must really suck because its doing this. I just need to know from someone familiar with counter surviellance, or telephone technology if this is the case? Thanks

  • Answer:

    not likely that it is tapped... at least not from what you are explaining...

Yes it sure is, the feds are outside of your house as we speak. You better flush all of your "work" down the toilet a.s.a.p. Fed cases are 85% nowadays so just get rid of it...

No. More likely, it is a defective phone or an incorrect timing parameter on the line. In certain systems, a FLASH is used to transfer calls or to set up 3-way calling. Earlier PBX's (Business phone Private Branch Exchanges) and Central Offices had issues with the timing in that when you bounced the handset down in the cradle, the switch saw it as a FLASH, and a disconnect, but the FLASH placed the trunk (outside call) on HOLD. Then, when you hung up and didn't do any dialing, the trunk called back. Of course, in today's CID world, there is no CID to deliver, because there is really no connection. Some systems compensated for bad phones by having a FLASH means DISCONNECT parameter (notably MITEL brand PBX-s). Try just hanging up the phone by hand for at least 1 second and see if that solves your problem. Then look to see if you have a defective phone. If those solutions don't work, try calling the dial tone provider and see if there might be a programming solution...called FLASH timers. Carl
