Is my cell phone tapped?

Usually I don’t talk on my cellphone much other than business talk, reason being I simply do not have the time. I spend the majority of my day dealing with my business (I’m self-employed). Recently my cousin and I began talking about government issues, gun control, etc, etc. By recently I mean over the past week. Since then my phone began crashing, restarting, and just tonight when we were texting the keys would not work. I have not experienced any issues with my phone, or previous phone that I have owned. I find it extremely odd. Has anyone else experienced this?

Your not the only one with strange phone issues...

Buy yourself a new cheap cellphone and use a pay as you go SIM and stop mentioning keywords in your conversations and don't use your present phone to inform your contacts of your new number .

Eavesdropping on cell phone conversations is pretty trivial but if you are being surveilled it wouldn't make much sense to mess with the functionality of your phone.

Sounds like your phone is dying/dead.

Watch out for battery not lasting as long as it should. It could indicate that its being used like a microphone to listen to you.

'All' phone activity goes through a filter 'echelon'

i doubt they consider you a threat,depends how completely useless you consider 'them' to be of course

King Solomon said, "There is nothing new under the sun"

Telephones have been tapped since the beginning of phone use.

The moral of the story is; Do not ever say anything while talking on the phone that you would not mind seeing on the front page of the daily newspaper.

Just think of your land line or cell phone as a huge ear and anybody that wanted to, could hear your words.

Oh and if whispering, cover you mouth as to shield it from cameras as your lips can be read easily by those so inclined.

"Is my cell phone tapped?"

Probably not, but tech does exist to listen in, I would hope with the proper warrants, but you never know....

You need to ask yourself if you really think your important enough for them to spend the man hours paying someone to listen to you.

I know I'm not, but hey, if they want to pay someone 45 k a year to listen to me talk I would consider that a boost to my ego.

what kind of phone is it and if it is a smart phone do you power it down?

Why in the world would "they" trash you phone via wiretap if "they" wanted to listen to your phone calls?
