In light of recent events with the Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich having his cellular phone call recorded and given to the Democrats I went out and bought a Primeco digital phone which uses CDMA technology to scramble the calls and makes passive listening next to impossible. (Primeco is a PCS phone) I have been having one helluva a time trying to find more information on the encryption used with Primeco, I have spoken to customer service twice & the local rep told me that the the Chicago FBI asked Primeco to shut off a phone this week because they can't listen in on what is been said, To which the the Primceco guys reply, If the feds can't listen in then I shouldn't be worried. This only tells me that the Chicago FBI doesn't have the technology in town for now to listen in. Excuse me if this posting is a little off topic, But I have nearly looked everywhere on the WWW to no avail. Thanks in advance!
