this is an invasion of privacy. Of all the dumb laws we make in this country, why cant protecting your privacy be one of them?

thats a little different than eavesdropping on someone when they arent aware of it.

Well to tell you the truth I have yet to hear about any top secret missions, terrorist plots, or any information that would be considered private while evesdropping on my calls. Mostly its peolpe chewing, tapping the phone or the most interesting of all silence!

This random anomally is only useful for people that already know my phone does this.

Either way it is generally known that cell phones are not a secure or private way to communicate.

Really?!? Oh my God the horror!

You know what I hate the most. People who can read my mind - now those people should be locked up for invasion of privacy. Even I don't want to know what I'm thinking sometimes.

I think when the Conservatives get elected they should make a law banning psychics to protect the privacy of Canadians.

BTW - Cell phone companies starting Jan 1st will also be displaying names. Rogers will be offering it for free for the first month and will start offering it as a feature in Feb for an additional charge (which is no big suprise from these capitalists).

Well, I'm sure that if you put microphones in someone's house that wasn't aware of it you would hear 99.99999% bullshit as well, but I still think you would consider that an invasion of privacy and illegal? I'm totally with Jay on this one, if the person don't know that you hear them then that is invasion of pricacy. I know myself I have sometimes said a few stupid things while waiting for a person to answer.

I think this is probably a bug in the network though, and it probably is illegal. It's cool as hell for you though and I would love it myself too

Well, cell phones (unless you use analog which no one by now should do) are a lot more secure than landlines.
