    Hi all I am not paranoid or anything! but over the past couple of weeks i have been hearing "clicking" sounds on my landline telephone, the person on the other end can also hear it, I went out and bought a new phone over the weekend and it is still there. How can you tell if your phone is being tapped??

    Its probably just a noise on the line, get Eircom to look at it. And stop watching so much TV.

    Are you involved in any court case, professionally or as a witness?

    Are your calls being routed through to eircom or some other provider?

    Basically, if all you're talking about is what pub you're going to next, thats all they'll hear!

    There should be a drop in voltage on the line, i think that is how you check, you might find something on ebay or some specialist spy shop that can detect it.

    Congratulations... you have a sh|t line. Had that myself, but Eircom sorted it out after a while.

    If there is repeated and random clicking on the line then it's just a dodgy connection at some point. If your internal sockets are modern and it looks like all the wires are secure, call out eircom. If you see a loose wire, a screwdriver can cure that. If you do not want to touch any wiring or phone sockets, then call eircom but try and disconnecting other phones and disconnect any extension sockets if possible.
