is the conversation on mobile phone automatically recorded.if so for how many days the record is kept?

Answer 1

Assuming you're an American:

I'll first say you open up a nice can of political controversy with that question. Let the debating begin. ;-)

To be perfectly honest, you'll probably have to ask someone who works for the NSA, and even if they knew I'm guessing they wouldn't tell you. I believe this is something that would be covered under the Patriot Act, and is a very sensitive subject. I'm thinking some sources would say this isn't happening today until further legislation allows it, while others might say the Government has been doing it secretly for years.

I could be wrong, and maybe there is more concrete known about this publicly. I don't have the time to research it. Anyone else know? If not, I'd say you're just going to have to form your own opinion on it.

PS: Go out and see the movie "Enemy of the State", if you've never seen it. It sort of touches on this whole subject, and what could happen if such technology was used in contrast to public interest. ...an entertaining movie, none the less.

Answer 2

No way! Recording every conversation is way too impractical based strictly on the storage requirements and computing power. Let's say 1% of the US population is talking on a cell phone at any given moment, and 1 minute of conversation takes up 1Mb of storage as a WAV file. I'm making some very generous assumptions here so feel free to jump in and correct.

300M people x 0.01 x 1 Mb / min = 3 Tb/min or 50 Gb/sec.

Even with the 4320 Tb required for each day's worth of data, we don't have hard drives that are capable of writing data this quickly.

Answer 3

It is possible that your conversation is recorded especially in the USA, where they have the resources to do this. Especially international calls. What does happen is that the conversations are monitored electronically for keywords. Then passed up to humans if certain criteria are met.

I guess all this goes towards building up a portfolio of everyone so that if you do something against the national interest in the future, they have the historical information they need.

I guess they are also interested in people that ask this kind of question (and those that answer them :-( ). Feeling paranoid now?
