I was a bit shocked when one of my friend told me that it is very easy to record the cell phone calls of others by using a few phone sets of Motorola.He called it scanning and showed me by tracing many ongoing calls in progress.I still cant believe this.How is it possible?he was also saying that cell phone is the most detectable device for its location.I don't know whether he was true or not but he surprised me a lot.Is it all true?Do such cell phones exist?

I don't think that such phones are available in our market which such a feature. May be he just is a hacker and a professional hacker could do such things.

Hi,
There are devices that can intercept cellphone signals enabling one to listen in to the supposedly private conversation. The technology goes back to the days of wireless open VHF/UHF radio transceivers where anybody tuned to the frequency can hear what everybody is transmitting over the airwaves. With the advent of coding/encoding of radio signals in cellphone technology, the traffic is more particular to a recipient with the proper decoder in order to receive it. The technology do exist, the ability to eavesdrop on a cellphone conversation just like tapping into a wire in a landline telephone. Most military secret service has this as well as advanced users with the proper equipments.
It is not proper to eavesdrop thus the Anti-Wiretapping Act. It now extend to wireless tapping as well.

if there is such thing, that will consider as illegal it's a wire tapping. is your friend doing that? I know that will be consider a bad act since you are invading others private moment. so if there is a thing like this, phone calls are not safe now? don't you agree?

This is not possible how can another cellphone trace another cellphone incoming calls.Unless her number was set to call forward to her another number.Then she could catch all the other number calls.
You may try to ring up her cellphone and see which Cellphone is ringing and you will find out why?
