Are Cell Phone Calls Private?
Cell phones are actually two-way radios that connect the telephone with a nearby cellular tower, and through that tower to the regular wired telephone system.Because the cell phone uses a radio signal, it theoretically can be listened towith the right radio equipment. However, laws have been enacted that prohibit bringing such equipment into the country or using such equipment without special permission. In addition, cell phones have a very limited range, and many phones share the same radio frequencies. Consequently, the likelihood of someoneintercepting a cell phone call is almost nonexistent in this country, but possible.
