You don't say whether you are in Britain or not. If you are..then yes!.
We are the most bugged nation on the planet outside China. All mobile conversations are recorded by computer. All texts are recorded by computer. All telephone numbers and the numbers they call and receive are held on computers (including 'pay as you go's) All two ways are recorded by computer and so on. This is not to say that they are all checked but, they ARE recorded. If anything links you or your calls to an 'interesting' event,or certains words or phrases are used, then they WILL be checked and listened to.
Because they are recorded by special computers, there will be 'key' words that will 'ring bells' at GCHQ and elsewhere. Words associated with explosives (including chemical derivitives), weapon names, drugs etc. will all 'flag up' on these computers. And before the British Government get a chance to look at them.....the Americans ( FBI and CIA ) have probably checked them first!.
PS. And please don't believe all that crap about having to apply to a magistrate to get an surveillance order!.

I wouldn't worry about that. Yes, it can be listen to, and also be bugged! The phone it's self you can look at and see if it has a bug (roaches??) on it, under it or in it. The service is pretty much "bug proof" unless you are on a wireless router. If so, then ANYONE with the equipment and the motivation, can LEGALLY listen in. They can not, however, repeat any portion of the conversation. There are laws regarding listening to cordless conversations and what you can do with the information, but the "air ways" are still free. There are also encryption methods that can be used to get better security on phone services.

If you have a cordless home phone anyone could listen to your conversation. Cordless phones broadcast using public use frequencies and are considered public domain. It is the same as broadcasting on a CB radio. Someone with a scanner can listen to your conversations. You have no right to privacy if you are using a cordless home phone.

Yes you can There are lots of bugging devices around , readily available: telephone engineers can tap into any phone line at any time ( so can anybody who has the knowledge how), and often wires are crossed in street cabinets causing more than one line to be connected to another. As well as the seceret government agencies doing their bit........

even if they could, so what.
unless u r a foremost public figure or involved in something desperately illegal it is of no particular use to anyone anyway so it is most unlikely.
most people have better things to do and if they haven't they are just not worth worrying about anyway.
chill out, life's too short to concern urself with such things.
peace bro.
