Default Cell to cell tap...

PeterD,

I read somewhere that there is a chip that people can put in my cell
phone ( the cell went missing for a few days ) which would allow them
to only listen in to my cell phone conversations on their cell phones
and still let them make normal call from their phones.

If this happend to my cell phone , how can i detect it ?

Please advice.

Hello PeterD.

I did a google. I only need to be able to detect a cell to cell tap on
a CDMA phone. Any bright ideas?



So you want to detect if someone has tapped your cell-to-cell
conversations?

The days when any phone taps could be 'detected' are long gone. In
digital communications, a tap would be invisible, only the system
would know and it won't tell anyone without proper authorization. Nor
(I hope!) would the 'system' allow any third party to tap without
proper court authorization.

Your next best thing is to either encrypt with a secondary layer of
encryption (possible using headphone jack input/output) or find
another method of communications.

No, repeat NO communications are secure today. Taps cannot be
detected, only reported by the system.
