Don’t forget that Newt’s phone calls were recorded by an old couple in florida using a off-the-shelf scanner back in the 90’s.

I don’t believe that for a second, at least not the “old couple did it” part.

That was with analog AMPS cell technology in the 800 band... it was really just an “in the clear” radio transmission... if you had a Motorola cell phone you could just punch in #testmode* and then select a channel to listen in on... the old couple had a scanner with 800 band access.. that’s all.
