You can use ChanSpy for this, using its grouping feature. When a call is made to 
or from a phone which you would like to listen to, set the SPYGROUP variable to 
some number. Then when you call the Chanspy application, supply it with the g 
option and use that number as an argument. You can get more details on this by 
issuing the command "core show application Chanspy" in the Asterisk CLI. 
Specifically look at the g option.

Hope this helps.
