Thanks a lot. a) it is illegal to do in most cases. Ask your attorney for details.
b) it is illegal to produce equipment that can do it c) it is illegal to import equipment that can do it d) for analog phones (AMPS) it is very easy to do, devices are cheap, *if* you manage to find a device that was manufactured pre-ban (but see a) or buy from out of country (and hope you can clear customs). Example: http://www.binghamelectronics.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BC80XLT e) for any digital phone (CDMA/TDMA/GSM) it is very hard-to-impossible (as in, there are no simple devices that can do it). I hope that answers your questions. -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
