You can't listen to digital phones unless you have about 60k to spare for the equipment.

When i had my old scanner i couldnt believe how many people called sex chat lines every other call. !!

If you don't already subscribe, the newsgroup alt.radio.scanner.uk might have some answers and other information.

I thought even the old bill had gone digital?

A few years back it was ace listening to police chases, mobile conversations, etc.

Yoza,

I suppose I'd rather spend a bit of time on SN than listen to people's private phone calls.
