RE: The Myth: They can see everything you do!!! Especially if it is digital. [FALSE]
So sending a text a couple hundred miles might not have to go through such a node, while an international call, or email, would be much more likely to.
Thanks!
Well sending a Text passes over a Cellular network. They may have worked out deals with mobile carriers to actually record all of that stuff. Yet, VOIP calls only need to go onto one of those carriers IF the person being called has their number on that network, or if you are calling from that network.
So it is possible for miscellaneous smaller VOIP providers or even people that spin up their own to avoid most of that type of thing, but that doesn't really cover Text (SMS).
SMS it wouldn't surprise me if most if not all SMS were captured. That takes up way less bandwidth than the voice part.
Ok. So texts are prolly the least likely communications to be secure then, while VOIP is far more likely, at least for short hops, to be secure.
Thanks!
