Summary/Abstract: Gathering data about today's technology, the possibilities and scope of tapping of fixed or mobile telephone traffic is possible in the similar way as the gathering data about spy satellites and their capabilities: mostly information appear trough media exposure of various espionage-tapping affair brought by politicians or military officials who suspect that they have been the target of a secret tapping. In court proceedings and statements given to the public by affair actors you can find a few rows about the technique itself, the manner and method by which the tapping of mobile phones is carried out. In this article we have tried to bring these "scattered" information, without going into the interpretation of the moral side of tap performing (such as violation of human rights, freedom of communication, etc ...), but primarily, and rather interesting to electronic technicians, how to collect the available technical information about the devices themselves and the methods that are used for tapping mobile telephony. In that way we enumerated several factory equipments for tapping cell phones that are offered on the market, even though the given information abut them are quite thin, and very often questionable.
