Oops! I guess that person you talked to is a newbie. Sorry about the attempt at humor. Here is a link. Just google "cellula telephone cloning".

After reading through some of these sites that you suggested, I believe that you are correct. Is there anything that I can do to prevent this from happening in the future?

There almost is no need to hack. For a fee you can retrieve just about anything you've done on a cell. Don't ask me how this is legal but it exists. It is rather unerving.

You should look into password enabling,to see if that stops it. remember Paris Hilton? Here's a story
Millions of cell phone users are at risk of having someone listen to their voicemail or steal their contact phone numbers and other private information, according to a report issued this weekend by an industry consulting firm. Representatives from Sprint, Cingular, and T-Mobile confirmed the basic premise of the attack, which is possible because those services enable consumers to turn off the password-checking function. Cell phone hacking gained prominence last month when reports surfaced that pop star Paris Hilton's T-mobile voicemail and phone book The link http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7046776/ This post has been edited by boopme: Jan 18 2006, 12:10 PM -------------------- Can you spare some PC cycles to help FIND A CURE ..

After reading through all these posts....I finally had Cingular lock my phone access to the internet and have not had any usage at all but I cannot download anything so that sucks. Cingular said that it was my fault that my phone was being used especially since my phone is a flip phone and is not in use 24/7. Any more suggestions??????

Well you can get a pay per use rate. Careful tho all the downloads add up. Some have recurring and many have add on fees(internet time). Also downloads such as Answer tones (not ringtones are only good for 365 days and must be repurchased.
