scary stuff.

... and a good reason to NEVER accept a cellphone as a gift from your SO ... remember Troy ...

Thats why I never let my cellphone out of my sight. I don't even let my SO use it to make a phone call.

erm bring back the pagers.  Don't call me, I'll call you

I think one of the cell phone companies in HK already have something like that...that lets people track each other via their phones and if your connected to the network.

yup you are right. one of the cell phone company has this function if you are using smartphone. but FYI, this function need to be activated by you first in the smartphone before it can track where you are... but of course your partner maybe force you to activate it or your partner is activated it without let you knowing it.

There was an HK movie last year called Overheard, and one of the ideas was that the police have technology that can listen in on your conversations if you simply had a live cell phone with you.  To be cautious, the bad guys would take the battery out of their phone before having any conversation about illegal matters.  I thought that seems kind of ridiculous, but based on this, it seems that its actually possible.  Technology can be scary.

They were showing something similar on a TV series called "the wire". What they would do is take out the battery whenever they weren't using the phone and put in a new sim card for each call. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

that would be for a wire tap.

this is software loaded onto the phone itself so changing sims would not do anything

I love this type of shit, and never thought about it assuming that the mobile companies had limted loopholes against the DIY spy. Just googled and found this haha.

Love no 2 - I wonder if it works? If you see a man walking around central with a generator and a microwave strapped to his head... that will be me then

Instructions
Step 1
Use a Bluetooth headset to eavesdrop on someone else's call. Bluetooth devices send signals over a long range. If you attach an antenna to a computer and have a headset inserted into your computer, you can eavesdrop on someone else's phone call.

Step 2
Go to your microwave oven. Punch in a time for about a minute or so and push Start. If you place your ear next to the microwave, you can hear cell phone conversations in the area.

Step 3
Place one cell phone on speakerphone and dial the number to your other phone. Place your second phone on mute. Place the cell phone that's on speakerphone in the room with the person who you want to eavesdrop on. This person will never know you're listening to his or her conversations unless he or she discovers the cell phone.

Step 4
Get a CB radio and scan the signals until you pick up a cell phone conversation. You may only find a couple, or you might pick up quite a few. The closer you are to one of the people talking, the more likely you are to pick up their cell phone signal.
