IIRC you and I discussed this a month or so ago. For those who missed it, there are ways -- an old microwave oven makes a pretty decent Faraday shield. And don't carry the phone with you all the time, only when you want to use it and are aware that [they] are listening. Stick it on the nightstand before you go out, they will think you're taking a nap. Once you know what [they] are up to, and the tools at your disposal, you are free to limit your 'monitored' time to that which you choose. Just keep in mind that even the 'off' button may not completely shut down the machine. On some phones, all it does is disable the display and put the system into a low-power mode. But it still can listen, and record 'interesting' comments to be reported later once the RF modem is up again... i.e. when you turn it back 'on.' One way to tell if the 'off' button really works -- turn your phone off with a full charge and let it sit that way for a week or two. If it still has a full charge when you turn it back on, chances are it was really, truly off. But if it has used say 30% of the battery... time to be suspicious.
