[ No...unless it’s a land line and they screwed up the wire tap.

There is no wires in wire tapping anymore. Any cellular phone can be listened in on with the right equipment much like listening to raidio. ]

Well you can tap the phones at the PBX at the phone company but this would be for a “legal” wiretap, one with a paper trail.

If I was going to tap someone and I was evil. I would use a small playing card deck sized device fitted into the phone box on the side of the house. Have it record and compress the calls using mp3 and have it use WI-fi to connect to either a website online or a “drive-by download”.

To power it I would siphon off the power from the phone line to charge a small lithium ion battery. That way once installed it could stay there until retrieval or discovery.

of course if this device was ever found it being built from off the shelf components and washed before assembly no prints, no DNA evidence and it would be nearly impossible to trace,.

But this would be a off the books phone tap by a “private party” or “covert means entity”

We are the phone company, we don't have to care.
