metal toolbox ?

You didn't need the tin foil.

Or you can just... y'know... turn OFF the phone. You can even take out the battery if it makes you feel better...

thats too complicated and it isnt even pretty, and forget about just leaving the thing home!

no record of missed call?

this would mean the cell phone company, where ever they are located, would have to be under some sort of tin foil cover, cause when i call a cell phone, the call is first sent to the company's exchange and then on to the actual cell phone number, if connected and turned on, then receives the call, or then just to the voice mail, - At The Exchange

i call - video evidence will drop the flag...

Err... if the phone is receiving no SIGNAL, there will BE no record of a missed call, as the phone never received a call to MISS. If you were to leave a MESSAGE, at the exchange, then THAT would be sent to the phone the next time it uplinks to a tower. Other than that? Of course there will be no indicator.

You c'n put away the flag now...

The relay and exchange will record the call and forward it when the phone's signal becomes available.

Can't they still track the phone when it's off?

Err... no, it WON'T. Do you OWN a cellular phone?

I worked in cellular for years, as a data specialist, and I can tell you ALL sorts of stuff about your phone. One of those interesting facts is that it is your PHONE is the device which records a missed call. the exchange does NOT relay that information. Never has. As I said, it WILL send you an indicator of a voicemail waiting, but IT doesn't send you any information about missed calls, number of calls, etc.

If you have your phone off for 24 hours, does it suddenly pop you a message saying"you have 30 missed calls?" Of course not.

And I won't insult YOU, because ignorance isn't pretty, but it's not your fault, either.

No, because it's neither sending a signal to a tower or powering a built-in GPS. And while they CAN be remotely activated, and used as listening devices, as of yet I'm fairly sure that they cannot be remotely powered on. However, pop the battery, it becomes a moot point.

if it is a listening device when remotely activated, then there has to be a signal going out. perhaps you mean if not remotely activated then no signal.

best thing is pop battery as said. i read when W made his taking off on his first trip to Iraq that they asked everyone in the press pool flying with them to pop their batteries out of their cell phones.

also read on a website that said even if you pop the battery out, say at a restaurant, then they know the cell numbers nearby at other tables and just listen in from there.

So I can just take off my hat and wrap my cellphone in it?
