[AusNOG] SS7 hacked on 60 Minutes, an Australian Senators phone tapped from Germany

[Steve Phillips]

OK, so maybe not $30, but afaik, a hackrf would allow you to have 
bi-directional communications and pretend to be a cell tower.

Cracking the crypto would be another issue, but I don't think the 
hardware is the barrier to entry really.
