Cellphone Tapping?

Question

I live in Toronto, Canada, and I was wondering if anyone know's if there's a way to know if your cellphone is tapped? Thanks

Answer 1

During telephone conversations, there are audible popping, scratching, or unusual noises present which indicate the presence of a wire, or phone tap. Static or volume changes likewise can be indications of capacity discharge caused by the amateur installation of a phone tap.

The telephone handset emits unusual sounds while still on the hook. This can be the result of a ‘switch hook bypass’, which allows the telephone to become a wireless microphone. This is not actually a phone tap -- it is a bug which permits eavesdropping to within 25 or 30 feet of the telephone, and is easily found during the sweep if the right equipment is used.

The telephone rings but no one is there. However, there is a brief beeping or high-pitched squealing. This can be an indication of an ‘infinity transmitter’ or ‘harmonica bug’, which is also easily detected during a sweep.

With the television turned on but the volume turned off, there is a slight herringbone pattern visible on the screen whenever conversation takes place in the room. This could be a strong indication that there is an eavesdropping transmitter hidden in that room, which is, again, easily found during a properly-conducted detection sweep.

Get a prepaid...They can't tap those...or quit doing things that would make the government want to tap your phone and no one will want to tap your cellphone
