Mobile phones communicate with cell towers, also known as base stations, which transmit and receive radio frequencies. These towers are part of a network that connects to the broader telecommunications infrastructure, allowing for voice calls, text messaging, and data services. The frequencies used vary by region and network technology, including GSM, CDMA, LTE, and 5G. Each tower typically covers a specific geographic area, known as a cell, facilitating seamless mobile communication as users move from one cell to another.

Mobile phones, like radios, transmit digital electronic signals that are converted back into sound at the receiving end.

Can you get mobile phone batteries that act as transmitters can mobile phones be bugged?

There are many mobile phones available on the market that act as transmitters. A mobile can be placed in your home and you can call that mobile in order to hear what is being said. Downside is that after a few weeks the battery will be drained and it would then be needed to gain access to retrieve the mobile and re-charge it. There are also versions that act as trackers.There are not batteries that act as a transmitter but there are many miniature transmitters that can be placed in a mobile phone, they can be bugged very easily.There are also receivers and scanners that allow to hear mobile phone conversations with no need for a special transmitter in the phone, all mobile phones transmit in certain frequencies and are themselves transmitters, so, essentially, you just need a receiver.Be aware that telephone tapping and telephone interception is illegal.
