Tmobile does not guarantee communications will be private or secure

Hello all,

I was reading through a t-mobile brochure (pathetic I know) and I noticed that in plain black and white under the terms and conditions it states that "T-Mobile does not guarantee that your communications will be private or secure". Can anyone shed a lil more light on this and help me understand why anyone would feel go with T-mobile if they knew this.

Thanks,

Sticking with Sprint!!!

It means that they have no method of preventing someone from intercepting a phone call. Basically they're covering their ass if a call you made was ever tapped; you couldn't go back and sue them for not securing your line. The only thing 'preventing' this is federal wire tap laws. You can never assume that anything you say or type is 100% private.

isn't CDMA (i.e. sprint/verizon) virtually impossible to hack into???

I'm sure people with the right tools can do it, including law enforcement and government. Not sure of the details of those tools, but I'm sure they exist.

It may be harder because your calls are reconverted into code, but that doesn't stop some people. TDMA, though, is divided into time, and I'm not sure if this is easier or harder to get into.
