Intercepted someone's phone call?

[nyczwillz]

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.

It must have been a routing issue between the carriers. It can happen. So you know its not like your picking up someone else's wireless signal as data is transmitted is encrypted.

But yes, the carriers can spy on your phone calls whenever if need be.

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.
