Intercepted someone's phone call?
Was on the phone with my friend and both of us seemed to have intercepted another person's call for a few seconds.
She heard ringing and someone speaking another language, and while I heard someone else just saying 'hello hello'. It was creepy, is this normal? We have Sprint and T-Mobile. This stuff makes you feel anyone can tap into your phone calls. |

i wouldn't worry much as it sounds like the towers are overloaded and this kind of thing can happen. BUT if it does it again id advise sprint.

As long as one isn't talking to 12 year old girls, planning to bomb something or do something else illegal, there's no worries that the phone is tapped.

This is possible with any GSM network like T-Mobile because signals are digital but not encrypted. This is one advantage CDMA has. If you have a CDMA user talking to another CDMA user then if there was any interference you might hear noises but not anything recognizable because everything is encrypted. Of course all bets are off if you have a CDMA phone and you're connected to someone on a GSM carrier or a landline. |

I still think its from an overloaded tower. |

But this day in age, even GSM signals are encrypted. The US versions of GSM is a weak encryption you can break even with consumer hardware but its encrypted regardless. |
