A few years ago I knew guys who had "scanners" and could listen to phone calls around the area they were in... I doubt that they had funds to buy any CIA type equipment so there must be some cheaper alternatives available....
I know a person who saya that he has purchased a scanner that allows him to listen into people's mobile phone calls? I don't really believe him at all. But if he is doing that, is that expressly illegal?
That was when the phone signals were analogue. Do you remember when the mobile networks changed over ?
Now they are digital and encrypted beyond the abilities of most people to crack.
It is illegal to record a phone call without consent.
I was told by a solicitor a couple of years ago that it is not illegal to record a phone call, assuming you are one of the parties to the call, but it would be illegal to then use that recording without consent.
Illegal to use it in which way ? What could be wrong with using a recording to prove that someone said or did something they later denied saying or doing ?
He can listen to anyone on the Eircell network with an 088 number.
It is illegal to do this. The police used to have a scanner - that would scan places and see if they could detect scanners in use. They can take the scanner off you, if they think you are using it illegally.
