See: "trap calling cards" or "skip calling cards." Yes, you can do it yourself. Without passing on the legality of this, YES, it is a sunlighted investigatory tactic. Contact a telco investigator in your jurisdiction. A skilled pretexter, and a trap line, can work better in some cases. "See a lawyer and an investigatory professional." ~Aimee

The way calling cards in the US work is that the user calls an 800 number and then enters a PIN number and the number to be called. The way 800 numbers work, the 800 number operator (ie, the company that pays for it) gets a list of all the numbers that dialed it, because he's paying.
It seems that it should be possible to create a "bugged" calling card. You give this to someone as a "free prize" or whatever and then you get a list of all the numbers he calls to and from using it.
Does anyone know if something like this exists, which I can buy? I want to send someone a "present".
Thanks
