Wow! This is pretty powerful stuff. I am blown away. Thanks for the info. Starred and flagged.
Thank god I don't have a cell phone.

One of your videos was a hoax...I wouldn't go posting fake videos here...it will get you nowhere.

This makes me furious yet you agreed to it. Got to love the patriot act. Its only for our safety right...../????

awww crap. Good find though, I've always been somewhat aware of this. They made a movie about this very sort of thing. Look up "The Listening." I heard it was about how the NSA was tracking some kind of mafia leaders through their phones.

How many times with this same topic be posted? Search please.

This one you posted:

Did you try using the site? It just shows 2 people in a bath tub. Just because a site says it does something it doesn't mean it works.

I can't do all your thinking for you, I'm busy doing research. you just have to keep the faith, sometime ...

BEFORE you post links, you better check them out to ensure that they are what you claim they are. You have this responsibility when posting threads here. The video that gives a website for the viewers to try out, is a hoax and is showing images that could be considered pornographic.

Delete it. Its a HOAX.

Well if this is true I am screwed because I have a "retired" military cell phone in the house My hubs work got a cache of them from at&t becaue they are water proff shock proof (happens alot at his work:lol and dust proof...I opened it up and it actually looks some what normal.

i heard about this a few years ago...

i've heard that all you can do is take the battery out, but who's to say they don't already have a mini back-up battery just for that little microphone?

scary stuff...

let me know when they're able to activate the cameras on the phones, especially with all the PDA's out on the market for so cheap these days... makes you wonder why they brought them down significantly in price in order to reach a larger market...

Agreed. It's been public knowledge for a while now.

However, just because you don't have a cell phone doesn't mean you're safe. They can use things like computers, televisions, and even microscopic chips in clothing to track you (not sure how progressed they are in the latter).

Agree with both of you!

This has been around ATS and the web for a while. The only 'known' way to counter it is to take the battery out. Let's be real however, how many of us can afford to take the battery out of the cell phones when needed - as you never know who may need to contact you?

I know in South Africa the cell phone companies were able to catch a killer by triangulating his position EVEN when his cell phone was off. That was one case when this technology was actually put to good use.

However, it also makes one wonder, when can this be used against you for no real reason at all

Yeah, this is relatively old news. The following link is an article from CNET from Dec 2006 "FBI taps cell phone mic as eavesdropping tool." news.cnet.com... The walkie-talkie type phones are most vulnerable.

We had the same cautions in the USAF. All the phones in the secure areas were to be UNPLUGGED when not in use, not just hung-up.

That second video made me think. I currently have a Nokia and sometimes my screen lights up for no apparent reason sometimes. No one in my house has a reason to install something like that on my phone or maybe I'm just being paranoid but its kind of disgusting how Big Brother or another can listen to conversations when my phone is OFF!
