But your phone is not connecting or connected to a signal when it is off. Hence why the "searching for network" prompt arises when you turn on your phone. Therefore, unless the government is hardwired to your phone it is impossible to "hack" it when it is off. How old is your phone? 32 OUNCES Posted at 4:50 pm on June 17, 2008 Quote: from shadowpool at 10:31 am on June 17, 2008 Quote: from jonny5 at 8:31 pm on June 16, 2008 I'm not sure about this...

One Two Step Posted at 4:02 pm on June 15, 2008 I believe it becasue once I was watching Dr. Phil and it was about a stalker that kept harassing this teenage girl through her cell phone, he could actually access the camera and stuff from where he was. But IDC i've got nothing to hide that affects the gov. Micus Posted at 4:01 pm on June 15, 2008 That's the US government for you.
