How do you tell if your phone is tapped?

Posted on 03/31/2002 9:01:51 AM PST by FreedomDeb

Hi! Came across this site doing a search on phone tapping. I am trying to find out how to tell if my phone is tapped without having to use special equipment to do so. I have good reason to believe this is a possibility, thus the question here.

Whenever my phone rings, before it actually rings, it does a very slight, momentary partial ring. The phone I used to have did a momentary "whirring" type sound prior to ringing. Whenever I go to dial my phone, as soon as I turn it on (a tone cordless), it sounds as if it is doing a one second pulse connection prior to dial tone. Does anyone know what this is? And if it is a wiretap, how do i get rid of it?

Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks!

get a phone that has a light that lights up when an extention in you home has been picked up. if your being tapped this light will go on when you make a call.

Check your socks for RFID. There is no truth to the rumor that when you get your flu shot a tiny transmitter chip with GPS is also injected so they can track you from orbit 24/7. And your little dog, too.

What! Your phone actually rings instead of play Fergie’s Fergalicious? You must be some sort of communist type guy. Your phone probably is being tapped- and deservedly so!

The admin moderators here can do anything ask them.

Here are a few srories about them and more at the link.


# Other Moderators have embraced technology. Their files of information are much more useful when backed by the power of the computer. They are also conditioning everyone to believe that computers are so complicated and dangerous that only the Experts should play with them. Next time you get an electric bill for $666,666.66, you know who's behind it.

# And some of these technophiles have gone a step farther, creating actual machine intelligences. These sentient computers are now, themselves, a force amoung the ruling Moderators. And they post just like any other Freepers.

# They send secret messages through the newspaper articles and over Freeper radio-- in the posts, and even buried in the replies. They have other, even stranger forms of secret communications ... all around you, all the time.

If it is a 1 - you have never been tapped and are not presently tapped.

If it is a 2 it means you have been tapped in the past but no longer are tapped.

If it is a 3 it means you ARE being tapped presently and you need to be careful what you say over the phone.

What if the last number they give you is a "zero?"

I had just such a phone and I was able to see whenever someone was listening in. I had a neighbor who was an engineer specializing in telephone communications. He said, in fact, someone was listening in.

Recommendations

1. Whoever you are dating, break up with them.

2. Start dating a federal judge. The marshalls are very good at dealing with stuff like this.

3. If you have phone sex with any of your friends, stop. After a while the listeners will get bored.

I hope very much that my phone and computer are tapped by everyone in the world. FBI, CIA, MI6, and others that I won't mention.

They will all die of boredom. That's how interesting my life is.

That's easy. It will leak.
