No, that has never happened to me. I also used to own a scanner, and am fully
aware that calls can be listened in to. However, it is ILLEGAL to listen in 
n
such calls (although I know that doesn't stop people doing it), and I am also
well aware that my telephone is an insecure channel, and therefore don't 
discuss
any sensitive information over it. When I need to communicate private
information, I either switch to a landline, or actually go to meet the person
concerned.
 DC> WOW, this echo has 2 moderators!?
It does, actually. That's why CELLULAR_UK was set up.
Thanks for cutting your sig, too, BTW!
