Otherwise with, or without a Stone, he could not eavesdrop on two Stones in communication.

Of course, the whole reason that he and Merry split up in the first place is because Pippin looks into the palantír at the end of The Two Towers and almost gives away their whole plan to Sauron (accidentally, of course).

Did Pippin tell Sauron about Frodo?
