Hacked? Tapped? just my service?
2 points by thatgalaaw 2659 days ago
At about 9:00 pm today I called my boyfriend in between the call dialing his number and actually ringing there's a static noise and I hear someone say something although I could not hear what they said because I wasn't near my phone. All I know is it was a male voice and he said something before it statics out then my phone begins to ring my boyfriend. This is the 2nd time this has happened, the first being a couple months ago. I've tried researching and most are not like my case the call did not answer. Each time it was a male voice. I didn't get to hear what was said so I do not know rather or not it was someone's conversation. please help I'm very paranoid..

https://signal.org/ Use this for communication. Verify the codes strictly in-person after the app was installed on both sides. Read details on their website.
does this mean something bad? I will get this
It's hard to tell without having physical access to the device whether it's compromised or not (it's hard to tell even when you do have physical access).

I recommended Signal ease your paranoia. If you want to be extra sure and have the means to do it: never hurts to switch to a brand new phone either.

Are you calling on a land line or a cell phone?
cell phone
Back in 2007, I was in a metal structure and made a cell phone call. I was connected to someone else's conversation. I have no idea if they heard me, but I could hear them. I think it was some bug/glitch with the telco. Perhaps something similar happened.
