Also, constantly changing numbers is likely to defeat the purpose. I had the opportunity of setting up a large 3G Telco once and found it all very interesting. I got to deal with all sorts of official people and learned some interesting things. <br/><br/>Besides, the government is only doing what it does to protect you .. right? Chris,

If I want to be devious, I could walk into a UK shop and buy any number of unregistered and therefore untraceable SIM cards. If I don't know the content of calls, then who called who is useless without knowing who owns or is using each SIM. Surely this defeats the reason for tracking this data in one simple step?

They are not interested in the content more often than not but they are interested in links. Building the big picture is like that 6 degrees of seperation saying. I am only 3 away from the worlds most wanted man. I met someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows Osama. If we have a beer one day Chris, you will be on that list too.. I will be in the UK in August..<br/><br/>Stephen Yep, I agree with Bob on that. They are not interested in the content more often than not but they are interested in links.
