Evan Doorbell recordings are a collection of recordings comprised of recorded telephone calls by Evan Doorbell, a former phone phreak that sought to archive the sounds of the old North American phone network for posterity. The raw material for most of these recordings consists of tapes recorded from the 1970s through the mid 1980s, although Evan has narrated many of them in recent years to provide a storyline and explanations of technical details. Hundreds of tapes have been publicly release on the official Evan Doorbell Phone Tapes website, and new tapes are still released on an ongoing basis.

Evan Doorbell's phone tapes, as they are commonly referred to, are today one of the most well-known and comprehensive sources of audio of now obsolete telephone switching equipment and long distance carrier systems. The recordings are highly esteemed by the phone phreaking community.
