#5659 Listening to the Speaker?

Question

Is it permitted to receive a phone call on speaker and have others listen in on the call, without the person on the other end knowing about it?

Answer

Horav Aharon Miller Shlit’a maintains that although it seems for many a common and usual practice, it is incorrect and prohibited to do. One must tell and warn the person on the phone with you, that others may be listening to the conversation.
