    Still wondering..how many phones are there in the world--if no one knows..why is this such a hard thing to find out?

    Question #25278. Asked by Jenna. (Dec 17 02 5:47 PM)

    		If only you had asked this question a year ago. The International Telecommunication Union estimated that by 2001, 415 million out of the 1.4 billion telephones in the world would be mobile. http://www.sce.doc.gov/documents/market_briefs/telecommunications/eu_umts.html

    I am looking at phones on circuitcity.com and bestbuy.com, what is the difference between 900Mhz cordless phones and 1.4 Ghz phones?

    Is there really such a thing as a "throw-away" cellular phone? The phones must both call in and call out.

    How can the FBI, CIA, MI6, MI5 and other intelligence services listen in to digital mobile phones, yet can't pick up internet telephones? I thought digital phones were scambled and impossible to re-scramble.
