Here's one for you guys (& grls) out there!

I want to bug my mobile phone for businesss and some personal reasons.

so how can I do it?

I've heard that receivers can pick up mobile signals so if I get one how
do pick up my mobile all the time?

Is there a mobile I can buy from somewhere that is bugged and all I have
to do is place the reciever somewhere else and record the converstaions.

I know some of you may say ethical, principles and human right questions
may come to mind but what the heck its a dirty world out there and to
survive in that dirty world you sometimes have to play back dirty to
them.

any help much appreciated and thanks a million in advance.

Newer phones (motorola V50, ericsson t68) have built in recorders - allowing
you to record both sides of the conversation.

You can't with digital.

It's also illegal unless the other person gives their permission.

Its very expensive.

They cost around £200,000 at the moment.

Probably, I have no idea where though.

Spymasters sell for around £2,000 a Nokia 3310 that has two phones inside
it. Once a call has been made on the first phone, the second phone calls a
preset number and you can listen in to the phone call on the first phone.

The phone looks indentical to a 3310 and unless you opened it up, you'd
never know what it contained inside.

The Siemens SL45 can record around 5 hours or 18,000 seconds on the
standard 32MB MMC, definitely a lot more useful than a few seconds,
although I haven't tested it for range!

You can get receivers now that pick up GSM calls from the number you specify.
You need to in close proximity and as someone else said they cost in the region
of 1/4 million pounds.

It was fairly easy to do with a nokia 5110. You short out some pins on
the bottom connector to make the phone think it was in a car kit,
revealing some hidden menus. One of these is auto answer. Activate the
auto answer, then put the phone on silent mode. Position it under a table
in a room and whenever you want to listen in, simply phone the mobile. It
will ring silently and answer itself after 2 rings :)

Do the same with a PHF
that's what your doing shorting the pins, making it think there's a PHF fitted

Sorry if I'm being stupid but what do you mean exactly? The phone can
record anytime you hold down the dictaphone button, whether during a call
or in standby. Or do you mean can you start it recording, make a call and
then end the call and have the whole thing recorded? I think you have to
stop the dictaphone to make a call, I'll have a look tonight. what I
found handy was, as on the S35i, you can make a recording and set it so
that when you press the dictaphone button, it automatically answers the
call with that voice sample. Very handy for annoying prank callers!
