Are there any electrical types on here that know anything bout mobiles. Ive heard that the new digital ones can be converted into a scanner. Just think of the power you could have with your phone converted into a scanning device listening to anyone. Obviously you would need to hook it up to a pc. The police do it. How? I know its harder with the new ones cos they are digital but it can be done apparently.

Many years ago,guys where driving to the City and listening to "Brokers etc" talking on their old phones. They made Millions getting info on shares etc!!

The new Digitalones can be accessed but at a cost.

Mobile phones use encryption so you cannot just scan them (ie without the encryption device). You would also have problems getting hold of said encryption! (but it is available to the Government!!)

"At a cost"............. It is possible to gain access to someones phone and "Listen In" I am told for £1k you can access a single number for a month.

Luke me olde mate. Tell me, go on tell me how. Pretty please.

Anyway, i think you can download the encryption onto your pc from the internet, after all, all that is being sent to each mobile is 0's and 1's. Its just finding which sites and how, then accquiring the hardware.

Andy, i know, it was great eavedropping on people on their mobiles. Some of the things me and my mates heard were crazy. I even heard i woman giving out her personal details once such as credit card numbers etc. Bugger!! I didnt have a pen though.

The amount of people having affairs is incredible.
I even evesdropped on 4 people who I knew (which was fun ).
Could have got myself a new Audi too. At the pub down the road a snobby guy had a puncture on his car and didn't know how to fix it so he phoned the garage and asked them to send somebody down to fix it. He left the keys behind the bar for the mechanic. He asked for the car to be delivered to his house and he walked home. I had a walk down to the pub with my dog and there she was, a brand new top of the range Audi (one of those fat coupe ones) with a flat tyre.
