Is it possible to dial a code on a phone set and listen to a conversat

Is it possible to dial a code on a phone set and listen to a conversation on another phone without the other user knowing?

How can that be done?
How can we de activate this function if it exist

Thanks

Depends on your software version. If you have the latest version, your vendor could set up silent monitor for hunt groups, which is a rather limited application of what you want to achieve.

You can also silent monitor with additional (third party) hardware. Again- it would be something a vendor would have to install for you.

also check the state laws about eavesdropping phone calls

you can also remove the Auto Privacy from the lines, which would allow intrusion without the far end knowing.

Thanks gentlemen, as a matter of fact I want to make sure no one can listen to somebody’ s else conversation
And as I understood, it is done with privacy on the line as BugsNYC stated

Thank you all, that answered my question

Group Listen" turns on the speakerphone of the set you are currently using. This is so others standing around your desk can listen to the conversation you are having on the handset.

Listening in on a line while someone is on it is possible by turning off the Privacy setting for this line, but it is *not* "secret". All this does is allow you to add yourself to the conversation as a conference call at will. The person on the phone may notice that your set's name/dn appears on their LCD display. Also, unless you mute your microphone, they might hear you.
