Telephones
i have only done it once but i have managed to pick up my own house phone does anyone know any frequencys for telephones
1. ARE SCANNERS LEGAL?
In Australia, it is legal to own and operate a radio scanner and no licence is required.
Generally speaking and to the best of our knowledge, It is also legal to listen to most frequencies. The most notable exception are any frequencies that are used for telecommunications, such as mobile phones, cordless phones, ship-to-shore seaphones, etc. It is illegal to listen to any frequency used for telecommunications in Australia. (Federal Telecommunications act)
Mostly due to copyright it is also illegal to rebroadcast transmissions received on a scanner without the appropriate authority.

Im sure at times I have heard what is a phone call (scanning on immediatley of course!)...but only when im scanning the trunking channels...would this be a two way radio that is configured to call out cdma/mobile phone numbers too??? I have heard guys using lavalife and other dating lines...i have even heard credit card details repeated by the automated payment devices used to clear bills by phone ...I fear for the security of the people that use these networks unwarned...I am an honest person hearing these things by accident but i shudder to think what could be done by those a little more cunning and evil..... Always use the landline!

What is the go with this, its just a normal mobile with the PTT button.
Those phones actually digitise your voice and send it over the mobile network as GPRS data. They still require support from the mobile network to work, unlike real two-ways which can be used independantly.

The Telecommunications (Interception) Act 1979, which is a commonwealth law says:
SECT 7:
Telecommunications not to be intercepted
A person shall not: (a) intercept; (b) authorize, suffer or permit another person to intercept; or (c) do any act or thing that will enable him or her or another person to intercept; a communication passing over a telecommunications system.
It's important that people do not discuss on this site anything regarding how to listen to telephone calls on a scanner.
Cheers,
