O2 customers are being told to beware what they are saying over their mobile phone as other customers have been connected to other people's phones and able to listen into the call.
I thought it was weird the other day...I got cut off from my call and could just hear someone with a broad Scots accent rambling on about a car. ( I think his accent was probably his best security!!).
At least there is now an explanation for it.....
Have we had any comment from O2 yet? it was in The Register and some other places online yesterday. Today MoneySavingExpert, if this continues it'll get picked up by the mainstream news.
Just the thought that a very personal conversation could be being listened in to by somebody else without your knowledge is terrible. Why no comment from O2 I wonder?

This reminds me of the really old days. When I was a child we could only afford a party line with the next door neighbours. This meant if you picked up the phone and heard them on a conversation you had to wait until they finished.
As predicted it's being reported in all the papers now. After last years incident where they spewed out users phone numbers to all websites they visited this is a touch embarrassing.

Unfortunately this is not an O2 exclusive fault, I have had it happen on Orange (and it was reported in media). So wavejockglw will be happy since his precious network cannot be singled out for criticism.
