There are ways to detect the use of StingRays by using a program written by SRLabs in Berlin called "Snoop Snitch", but it works on SOME but not on all Android phones, and works on a certain chip set. Apple, however, will never allow access to the "baseband" (radio part of the phone), like Android does.
I know about SDR, they are used in OpenBTS, an open source system used with Asterisk PBX systems. in 2013 Burning man, someone setup a cell phone tower for people to use SMS messaging, but with no SS7 access, all they can do is send messages.
Yeah I kinda figured you would know about them. :) But the guy I was responding to was looking for a good place to start so I was giving him some search terms.

So stuff like what we see in Watch Dogs (the game) is possible? lol
