This is pretty bizarre:

If jivehoney thinks it is bizarre, it must be absolutely **** bonkers 😯

A Murdoch news channel running a story of secret hacking into other people’s phone calls?

No irony there at all… I’d def take it with a pinch of salt

Complete twaddle.

Sorry to buck the trend of mocking the OP, but this is a real thing.

I seem to have a rogue tower. In my pants.

Three letter, N.S.A.
OK that’s me on the watch list, bye bye.
Oh and our own spooks at Cheltenham will be at it as well.

If it means I get better reception, I say bring it on…

Is that the same Sky that are pretending they’re not building a mobile phone network….

Hmmmm…..are these towers made of metal?

I like the fact that you guys think I’m nuts, if you knew the truth about me, it would melt your heads

😆

Seriously though, good banter:

No need for them over here, the police have planes flying over areas to listen in to calls (so secret that the planes show up on flight radar tracker app 😆 )

CZ.

If someone had come out with the stuff Snowden did, without his mountain of proof, then he would have been treated with similar disdain.

Not say JHJ is right, but to simply dismiss as a nutbag, seems a bit lazy.

close…

Have checked. Yes, these things exist. But apparently there are easier ways to intercept mobile traffic.

Who knew?

(JHJ it would seem)

I have a hat to protect against that.

Are they Airwave towers, or a similar secure microwave goverment emergency comms system?
