You really think phone tap make clicks?

Sorry mate, that just either a phone going bad or something on the end of the phone company. You can't hear a tap, at least not a good one, so unless some kids or a hack amatuer spy are tapping your lines i wouldn't worry about it.

I find it odd that people think they would even know they were being spied on. If you are being spied on by anyone worth a damn you wouldn't know.

You dont even have to be using your phone for them to be able to liston in on you.

They just use your phone like a bug and you will never know it

If your phone was really tapped, there would be no way you could tell (by hearing, anyway). How exactly does recording the telephone signal (a relatively simple task) make clicking sounds in your phone?

[Edit: I really should read before I post. What I said was pretty much already said. ]

The most commonly encountered easily audible clue would be you noticing the echo effect on your line. This would only occur if a pretty poorly done job was in effect.

And sadly the echo cancelation devices the telco's either have built into their system or as a component of their system would run a very high chance of eliminating that audible clue.

its true the goverment taps phones anytime you say a specific pattern of words computers automaticly start taping the conversation. Its happend to me my friends. Sometimes when I call my mother and its real long distance and Im telling her whats going on , on the ATS we talk about things and then click click the tapes are rolling but I wouldnt worry about it.

Most likely what you are hearing is interference from an outside source or a lose connection somewhere along the line. I just got settled and have had no end to phone troubles... the problem is somewhere on the pole wher they tied in but they keep wanting to just check the new interface and jack both of which they installed last month. Its not uncommon to have phone problems.

are you using a wireless network 802.11 b with a 2.4g cordless telephone? if so the there is your click.

There have been times I've noticed strange noises on my phone, too. What kind of activity are you involved in that would lead you to believe you're being tapped?

Send them an email.

" Dear Sir,

I'm 100% sure that you tapped my phone. I would like to know why. And don't tell me you didn't, cuz I won't believe you. I'll believe you ONLY if you tell me that I've been tapped and why.

Best regards.

In my opinion, your capslock key is locked. Take a look.

Well on the history channel they were talking about The NSA how they have a machine that the agents type in a word such as bomb and see how many times it was said on which phone and when well since you were talking about it.... they know what you were saying and also i cant help you with the clicks that all i know for now.

I work for a phone company and more than likely it is some sort of facility trouble probably a T1 taking hits somewhere on the local network. Refer it out to you're local phone co.

Shadowman, the NSA has a database which interfaces directly with Echelon, we have some of these 'logging' systems housed in Australia (Pine Gap). It works on a defined keyword query system, and you are right - they are able to type in words like 'bomb' and a list populates the screen giving them times and dates and the origin of the call.

Buy a bug checker from any spy shop online and test for it!

ask this guy he has had the same prob with the clicks

Let me know if you do.

DoD you are right to be concerned, but you should have no doubt about it--they tap lines all the time. Telephone lines are any nations primary tool for intelligence gathering. Any nation that doesn't control its own phone system--that contracts it out to foreign companies for example--has no real possibility of national security.
