Can the government listen on your cell phone while it's off or your not using it? The reason why i'm asking is because I seen a movie called ''Eagle Eye'' awhile back and the government in the movie was listening on a cell phone while the person wasn't even using it.

I've heard that it is possible, to trace you and listen you, even if the cellphone is off.
But I've also heard that you can prevent that by getting out the battery.( I do't know if it's true)

They obviously can't listen to your cell phone conversation, but I suppose it is theoretically possible for the phone to have a tiny microphone on it, powered by the battery. However, I'm 100% sure that it's not gonna happen.

This shouldn't be in Entertainment...

I doubt the government could listen to hundreds of calls in a second, you'd need thousands of people to do it.

Yeah, because even if the government could, it does not mean that they would, because there is a lot more people worth spying on than random citizens...

that couldnt be possible because you would need the phone to connect to the sattelites for you to talk to people, so they cant listen to you if your phone isnt coneccted.

Actually all you would need is a powerful computer and a well developed program (like mentioned above). They're obviously not going to listen to every conversation themselves, they're more likely just going to use the program to red flag conversations that use key words.

First thing is why would they want to listen on your cell phone and second it is impossible to listen on your cell phone without being connected.

The only way that this would work on your phone (unless you are on a terrorist watchlist or something... ) is if everyone in the country constantly listened to someone else's phone calls, or half of the country listened to two people's phone calls at the same time, or a quarter of the country listened to four people's phone calls, etc. Sure, they could use a computer program, but is there one that detects code (PIG LATIN! lol) Ombay in the city! (I've long forgotten pig latin, so excuse my terrible translation)
Hopefully, this isn't happening. In most movies though, the directors/ script writers change it a bit for plot's sake. Hopefully this isn't true.

Micheal : Paranoid much? Most of your threads seem to be about some conspiracy. One about government officials on Vizzed, ect.. Just sayin', starting to detect a pattern here.

hypermonkey : I promise you, if they wanted to, they could. They probably do, and the way that Zamiel says. It'd be a way to maintain the privacy of the main population, while keeping an eye out for possibly shady calls.
