Is it against the law to check a voicemail that does not belong to you w/o consent/?

I think it is, phone calls are private and protected by law and voicemail is a form of private communication using phones.

no, any more than they should have the right to listen in on my phone conversations, sift through my trash, or stand outside my window at night with a cup up against my wall.\n\nit's privacy, and it's reasonable to expect it while you're in the comfort of your own home.  any invasions of my privacy are not explained to my satisfaction by someone's excuse that they are doing it to 'protect me'.  i feel i have a right to be free from 'unreasonable searches and seizures', and monitoring my online communication IS unreasonable, in my book.

Yes indeed, it has to depend on what KIND of voicemails you mean, what format they're in, and where they are at present!\n\nIF by chance you refer to YM voicemails, I have a great solution here: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-i1Y6nJE0eqGxw.3yUh7ohyaJ?p=222

seems like someone got a hold of your phone number. report it to your phone company

Probably won't happen even if you try.  Privacy laws won't let you have the name and if you report it to the cell provider, they'll just pass it on to the authorities (if it's a harassing call).

Not without their permission  (that means permission of both (or all) parties in the call).\n\nThe exception could be granted by a court order.

Can you make a recording of these phone calls? That would be evidence you could bring to the police. You need to find out if you are allowed to record phone calls in your state without getting the other person's permission, because you don't want to get in legal trouble yourself. The laws vary from state to state. The police will never know that this man is a problem if you do not report him. They may not be able to arrest him for being an illegal alien because they do not have federal jurisdiction, but they can arrest him if he is committing other crimes.

Call the police.  You may not want to tell them its you.  Pretend you are calling to try to get someone thrown in jail.  Or have someone call on your behalf.  They can tell you if there is a warrant.

You need to dispute it in WRITING. A phone call will not be of any legal help at all. Also, file a police report about recieving unsolicited material. You could be the victim of identity theft.

the only thing you can do is call the cops and get a phone tracer, and thats it unless you have one yourself. i wouldnt do that though, cus u will ruin the fun of prank calls and be a f@ggot for ruining it.

of course it is illegal! its jusr the same of wiretapping, among others. we have here a law under our constition of the Republic of the Philippines Under Article III Section 3. \n(1) The privacy of communication and correspondence shall be inviolable except upon lawful order of the court, or when public safety or order requires otherwise, as prescribed by law. \n\n(2) Any evidence obtained in violation of this or the preceding section shall be inadmissible for any purpose in any proceeding.

Yes, it is a federal crime and probably a state crime, but that all depends on the state. The US Code prohibits the " interception and disclosure of wire, oral, or electronic communications."

communications in email are not protected nor private. so if you admit to commiting a crime to someone in an email. police cn use that email against you.

You aren't trying to get innocent people to dial a number that will result in a massively expensive charge on their phone bill, are you?\n\nNo, you wouldn't do that!

No. this is illegal, you can ask the cellphone owner to change the number and then use it.\nYou can report the cellphone is found by you to the owner and return it to him.
