How easy is it to tap someones phone?

I have a friend who recently broke up with a boyfriend. He is still trying to contact her, but she tells me he seems to know unusual details of her private phone conversations and brings them up to her. How can I help her, and how would I help her find out if her phone was tapped?

Answer
very easy to tap a POTS (landline phone) or a VoIP phone that has been connected to your existing wiring, and the wire still goes outside of your home to the NID box...

VoIP is not easy, if not impossible to tap (illegally)
cellular is not easy if not impossible to tap..

feds can tap anything... but it usually requires connections from the telephone company office, not something the average person has access to...

if you have any 900Mhz cordless phones, throw them out.. replace your cordless phones with any technology that has DSS or FHSS (2.4,5.8, DECT)..... DECT is the best choice...

if there are any baby monitors, or wireless intercoms, or any other device that transmits sound wirelessly, remove them or turn them off..

Why does my wireless connection keep disconnecting?

I own the router and my signal strength is perfect. it is a broadband connection. i am 6 feet away from router. out of the blue it will just dissconnect and then reconnect a few seconds later.

Do you (or a close neighbor) use wireless phones (not cell phones, a cordless home phone), or have a baby monitor? Many devices like this operate on the same 2.4ghz frequency and can interfere with wireless signals. When they are activated, they can interrupt your signal until they are shut off.

Unfortunately, there is not a great fix for this. One fix, is to use a different wireless card. In my experience, newer wireless antennas are less suceptible to interference than old ones.

There are phones out there that do not interfere with wireless (DECT is something to look for on the box) but you can't make your neighbor buy it if that is your problem. Hope this helps!
