Offhand I believe I have read of another instance of cell phone pick-up some months ago but didn't think anything of it so I don't recall the details. Someone else who worked office phones told me it does happen. My house phone picked up a neighbor's conversation so clearly yesterday I thought someone was using one of the other phones in the building but that was not the case. Of course, don't consider me more reliable than the media on this.

I am still trying Searle the thank you here goes to Raymond Duray. I am not keen on mobile as the only method of communication, My rule of thumb has been short mobile conversation long standard line. If I understand your question, you are wondering if cell phone conversations are secure. The answer is certainly not. They are all monitored by NSA. As far as some sort of cross talk problems, I have not heard about that particular matter.

elmatador Voice in a mobile phone is packetized and digitally encrypted. So, it is not like the old analogue technology subject to cross-talk. A GSM phone is secure from the point of view that someone would eavesdrop on someone else conversation. Now if the powers to be decide to use some countermeausre to over come that, it is not published in the open. Hope it helps. I don't know if i am there yet Searle. I am confused part of the problem of our telecoms is we operate on many different systems TDMA as well as CDMA and probably a few more i don't know about. The lack of unified direction did not aid our companies or our market. One signal has to read the other. You most likely can understand it better than I can due to the HAM.
