  The recent data from Planck2018 shows that the equation of state parameter of
effective cosmic fluid today is w0 =-1.03. This indicates that it is possible
for the universe to be in a phantom dominated era today. While a phantom field
is essentially capable to explain this observation, it suffers from some
serious problems such as instabilities and violation of the null energy
condition. So, it would be interesting to realize this effective phantom
behavior without adopting a phantom field. In this paper we study possible
realization of an effective phantom behavior in modified teleparallel gravity.
We show that modified teleparallel gravity is able essentially to realize an
effective phantom-like behavior in the absence of a phantom field. For this
purpose, we choose some observationally viable f(T) functions and prove that
there are some subspaces of the models parameter space capable of realizing a
phantom-like behavior without adopting a phantom field.
