This is not true. What is true is that cell phone carriers will provide various governmental agencies with your calling records even when those requests are illegal and the cell phone carrier is fully aware that providing those records is against the law. Moral: Do not trust your cell phone company. Nothing that they say they will or will not do can be taken as truth.
