Well, it happened again. Came home, closed the door, telephone rings,
telemarketer.
So, I did a wider online search using words other than "snooping" and came
up with countless hits if I used "easvesdropping". The equipment for doing
this is commercially available, and there's even a textbook on the subject
available from Amazon.
From what I can gather, you cannot do this with a conventional phone that
has an electromechanical ringer, but you can if it has a piezoelectric ringer,
actually listening by way of the ringer. Another technique is to listen by way
of the earpiece.
Now that I have a bit of a handle on the language of this nonsense,
perhaps I can find a solution, such as disconnecting the piezoelectric ringer
on my wired landline phone.
No more Mr. Niceguy.
