That is all absolutely true, because cell phone are radios and work on radio technology. That's why I'll never give up my land line for some things.

I know! Yikes is right..

After I looked at this I looked at Kjell and said" Is this for real? Can they really do this and is the software out there?"
He did some fast research and yep.. it is there.. Lots of different kinds. All of them of course have the claim that it is illegal to tap anyone's phone without their permission..
*Yeaaahhhhh right*

It makes me very leery about using my phone for anything other than ..
"What time are we eating hotdogs at the lake type of stuff"

I was stalked big time once a couple years ago.. It is HORRIBLE!
I could have swore that the persons and party involved had a tap on our phones ..but didn't know about this stuff then..
Those 5 months were the longest of my life..and I could write a book about it.. But anyone outside of family and a few friends would think I was making it all up from a thriller spy movie...
And no... we never caught who it was.. although we all pretty much knew. Had to get some of Kjells old buddies from the police force to intervene.. when they found that out.. they quit..But occasionally he will "drop me a note" letting me know he/they still watch me..

So no one is immune from things like this happening..
And you wonder why I am armed................................... LOL

Fortunately phone stalkers very rarely ever act on their bravado. They are very scared, insecure people who are only brave from a distance when you don't know who they. It gives them power if they think you are afraid. But I do know how you feel, been there myself.

I wish it had only been the phone................. $:-\$
THAT I could have dealt with pretty easy....
