Cell Phones and Land Lines!

[JillP]

If someone is listening in to a cell phone conversation via one of those receivers, can they also hear the conversation from a person on a landline talking to someone on a cell phone. In other words, can they hear both sides of the conversation even though one side is from a landline?

Yes

F#@%
Thank you Rojash, I will be more wary in the future. Could you tell me how it is possible for them to hear the landline side of the conversation?

[rojash]

Communication is between the handset and the local dish. This is what is intercepted. It doesn't matter where it goes from there - to another cell, or a to landline, both sides of the conversation must be transmitted between the dish and the cell phone.

Thanks again, Rojash! Not much chance of a private life with a cell phone then.
