Toward the end of the article they make it seem as if an fbi agent can just call up the fbi enter a phone number and hear the convo from that phone.. that is impossible.

It is entirely possible software could be written to your phone by means of text message or phone call that would make this possible but on an individual basis phone by phone , not so broadly.
