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

Question

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

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.

You can use this reverse phone lookup service ( http://reversephones.info ) PhoneDetective is a caller ID application that covers landline numbers, cell phones and business lines. It's a cheap service that works great! It could be used for a much deeper search. You can use it to get hold of different varieties of background reports, and in addition cell numbers, addresses and names.. you can get unlimited reports... I ran with this because I required to verify more numbers. You can get the name, other phone number, address history, relatives, and much more about anyone! The completly free reverse phone lookup generally doesn't provide anything interesting. To get interesting information, money will must be paid. The free searches don't provide considerably more than what may be found through the phone directory or personal information and they simply require your email to send spam. The reverse phone detective search tool does work, but you should use just the service that I posted above. The last thing you want to do, is pay for a service and find the numbers you want to lookup are not available in their directory.
