Best Answer

You need the ability to receive frequencies in the range of 800 - 1000 MHz.

When you start tuning that range, you'll start hearing things.

But only from cellular systems that are still using analog transmission. You can't

afford the hardware you need to eavesdrop on the digital systems, without some

serious government financial and technological assistance.

Is a cell phone a radio?

It depends. The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) banned the manufacture of scanners and Ham Radios that can receive cell phones years ago. The manufacture of radios with this capability available is no longer available however, it took several years before this was changed. The cell phone signals would need to be analog for them to be able to listen in to and if you were traveling in a car on a highway, your signal would jump to another cell site and the listener would need to travel with you and know what frequency you would need to. This is difficult to do because of the large number of frequencies or channels available to analog cell phones. This takes several minutes with most scanners. It is now also illegal to modify a radio to receive these signals and has always been illegal to listen to them. It is also illegal to disclose the content of anything you hear on a scanner unless it is a conversation between Ham Radio operators and obviously your favorite broadcast station. Digital cell phone signals are nearly impossible to listen to because of their encoding. The short Answer: No, you can not listen to cell phone conversations on any form of Amateur radio. The blurb above is all about what scanner users could do in past years, but scanner users are not licensed amateur radio operators.
