I love to listen to cell and cordless phones. It is only illegal in the land
of the free but not illegal in truly free countries. It is a good close look
at the personal lives of other people. I have 2 radios setup that can listen
to cell and a few months ago I was having coffee with some members of the
local city police and gave them a demo. They just loved the way that drug
dealers talk so openly on the cell system.

So true. ECPA is a joke wrt to technical issues - they legislated away a
technical problem.

Its not the drug dealers they are worried about you listening too, its there
illegal crap the cops are doing they don't wish you too hear, that's the bad
cops, but the other reason is cops use cell phone to talk to each other,
because there radio's suck for reception in rural areas, and if they are
making a bust, they don't need those drug dealers know that they are coming.

I'm a freelance journalist doing an article on cel phone spy culture
and would love to talk to some people who have done this with some
frequency.

Check http://www.mods.dk and see what scanners are cell capable. And
go buy one from a pawn shop and do the mod.

Do your own listening and get the story first-hand.

Most cell phone systems are digitized now, so there's not as much
chatter to listen to as there was several years ago.

Sold my last scanner 4 years ago. No room for 'em here in the
'frigerator box.

Perhaps you should start out your writing career by learning to spell.

Nevermind that cell phones are ALL digital now. There is nothing
to be heard.

Years ago, when cell calls could be heard on
scanners without modifications etc .. back before
there were CHEAP cellphone talk time plans ...
when people would say, " I will call you when I
get to the office or home, I am on my
$$cellphone$$." I heard a man on his cell, calling
a pay for phone sex number ... I thought to myself
... As expensive as this call must be, he could
have hired a hooker ..

Is this the wrong type of post to make here ??
Sorry if I offended anyone.
