Narrative:
I was 'holding short' runway 8R awaiting takeoff clearance. Tower controller (120.90) came on and said, taxi into position and hold. I read 'back position and hold runway 8R.' on the way to the runway, tower controller said, amend instructions, fly runway heading maintain 4000 ft cleared for takeoff. I read back the instructions and proceeded with the takeoff. On climb out, tower controller said there had been a pilot deviation and he gave me the phone number to call when I landed. I phoned phoenix tower and I discussed the situation. He indicated to me that I was not cleared for takeoff and that the readback of my clearance was 'stepped on' by another aircraft. Said that the FSDO would investigate the incident and that I would be contacted at a later date. I would never blatantly disregard an far and takeoff without a takeoff clearance.
