German Chancellor Angela Merkel has called US President Barack Obama after receiving information that the US may have spied on her mobile phone.
A spokesman for Ms Merkel said the German leader "views such practices... as completely unacceptable".
Ms Merkel has called on US officials to clarify the extent of their surveillance in Germany.
The White House said President Obama had told Chancellor Merkel the US was not monitoring her communications.
"The United States is not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of the chancellor," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
The German government would not elaborate over how it gained the information.
But news magazine Der Spiegel, which has published stories based on material from fugitive US leaker Edward Snowden, said the information had come from its investigations.
