The royal editor of the News of the World faces up to two years in jail after pleading guilty at the Old Bailey yesterday to unlawfully intercepting telephone messages from Princes William and Harry.
Unscrupulous journalists have been illegally picking up mobile telephone messages for many years.
It is relatively simple to hack into someone's messages by calling their voicemail and using a four-digit "default" code that is standard to most phones.
Unless the phone owner has changed the code, the handset will release voicemail messages when someone uses the default option.
So check yours!
