FYI most cell-phones switch from analogue to digital depending on signal
strength and how busy the sight is. I still pickup hundreds of cell-phones
with my scanner and even more when I go down to the states. The reason for
that is that the US cell companies believe that they are protected by the US
laws and don't bother to upgrade so plenty of cell-phones to listen to in
the US.

How does a person tell if a scanner is capable of listening to cell
phones?

If it receives in the 800 Mhz section allocated to cell phones.
FYI, these days 90% of cell phones are digital so scanners are
useless that can receive those frequencies.
