Another question for you guys!
I'm passing along this one from my sister, for something she's writing. She asked me this question, and I didn't know, but I said I could ask on my LJ (DW), so here I am!
I'll just quote her:
"I know that with many voice mail systems you can access them from any phone. I'm assuming this is true for cell voice mail as well. So if you're feeling paranoid, and have ditched your phone, you can still check your voice mail. You're afraid people are tracking your calls, and they can certainly see who has called YOU (even with no phone, the voice mail box would still exist). But could they track your calls INTO your mailbox to check your messages? I'm assuming yes, but I don't really know how that works."
So ... what do you guys think? My experience with cell phones is kind of limited, but I'm not actually sure if you can check it from another phone like you can with an answering machine. But can you? Or could the government or a suitably well-connected extra-governmental entity do it?
