How Do You Determine If A Cell Phone Is Bugged?
If you have been hearing strange noises and weird tapping on your cell phone lately, don’t panic. You are probably just a bit paranoid. However a phone bug can be a scary thing and there are ways to determine if you’ve truly been tapped. Take a look at these tips for pinpointing a pesky eavesdropper. Monitor your battery. If you are losing unusual amounts of juice or have a dead battery after a five minute call this may be an indication that your phone has been bugged. Feel the temperature of your cell when it is not in use. A heated phone is normal during use but in periods of down time your phone should be at room temperature. If it is hot after sitting for hours there is cause for concern. Listen for a constant buzzing. Most cell phones have a low hum while in use but make jumpy, inconsistent noises when hung up. If your phone is making a constant, streamlined buzz sound when you are not on calls you might have a problem. Check your cell for weird volume changes and scratchy noises.
