Cordless phones what have you heard?

i used to live in a detatched house and was informed one day by my neighbour that ALL our calls were filling up his answer machine tapes. we used to hear quiet click 5-10 seconds after starting call not realising this noise was when his answer machine started recording. we had cordless phone and so did he with answer machine. He only informed us after hearing my then GF being rather rude about him to her mother



.



Also my friend drove round for some months with his home cordless phone in his car until finally it connected to another phone. From that time he often sat outside that house in his car and used his handset to make calls at their expense



I no longer use cordless phones



Answers:

this was only possible with the 1st cordless phones that came out which only used 25 channels (around 40mhz range) and possibly earlier 900 Mhz phones that did not have DSS... this is impossible with 2.4ghz, 5.8ghz, and DECT phones...



while it is impossible for the newer cordless phones to communicate with any base other then the one that they are registered to... there are still times where the lines outside of your home can have a cross on them, where you may hear others on your line, or vise versa...



the 1st cordless phones operated in the same frequency range as baby monitors, so sometimes people would be able to hear phone calls from baby monitors. it is illeagal to listen in to a phone call that you are not part of, or do not have permission of at least one person in the conversation... Get yourself a DECT phone, rather than a rubbish analogue cordless - it%26#39;s encrypted, so this kind of thing can%26#39;t happen. it is a problem as there are only a restricted number of radio frequencies that are available for use by these machines, this used to be more of a problem for the old analogue system and isn%26#39;t so bad for digital systems, in fact I haven%26#39;t heard of it in digital systems. The old analogue system was also easy to listen in to.



Although uncommon it is possible for this to happen more likely if you and your neighbours own the same model of equipment and even more likely if it is a copy from the far east.



You may want to tell your friend that as he is probably aware what he is doing is illegal but under the communication act it is punishable by up to 5 years in jail. lol.. is this question for real?
