Mobile Phone Tapping Question

[az]

All you're saying is what I've said: This is only possible after a speech connection to the network has been established by the user (or by a modified phone) - of course this is not possible without interaction or intrusion. It is possible to identify and track a phone though, so if "they" are after you, you'd do well to slip your phone in somebody else's purse

Oh, by the way: Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you!

As AZ has said repeatedly, is it POSSIBLE? Sure. Is it FEASIBLE? Not really. Are you being bugged? Absolutely not. You'd know. Your battery would be dead in 2 hours for no good reason, the phone would get warm, etc.
