Telephone Bug Circuit

Serial Phone Tap

While looking around on MAKE Magazine, I found a useful little circuit for a telephone bug. I know how much you guys love circuit diagrams!

The bug is a serial device, which meals the phone connects to the bug, and then the bug connects to the telephone line. This means that only that particular phone is bugged. Potentially, you could build the bug into the phone itself.

The design is suited to the US phone network, not sure if it’d work in the UK. You can substitute 4 1N4148 Diodes for the IN4384 Diodes too.

    Hi Vinnie,

    Cell phones work completely differently, and so this device would be useless. It’s actually exceptionally difficult to bug a mobile phone unless you work for the government.

    Thanks
    Dan
