First of all what exactly is a mobile phone spy software? It is a software application that is installed on someone's phone without his or her knowledge. A cell phone software allows you to monitor calls, text messages, and more received on that cell phone. Without a doubt, there are numerous reasons why someone would use such a software application. Most common reasons are to monitor your teenage child's phone activity or to catch a cheating spouse.
Employers also sometimes use spy software to keep an eye on their employees, especially if the phone is company-owned and intended solely for work purposes. With the use of the spy software, employers, parents and suspicious spouses get to see messages on the mobile phone, listen in secretly to calls, and track the cell phone user's location using GPS.
How does the cell phone spy software work? First, it is installed on the mobile phone of the person whose calls are to be monitored. This is often done secretly, such as when the person is asleep or away from his cell phone, or before it is given to him. Once installed, the software is undetectable on the phone itself. The owner has no way of knowing that the stealth software is installed, even if he uses the phone's task manager (for phones running on Windows OS).
Calls and messages on the phone may be monitored by logging in to an associated account for the spy software, using any computer that has Internet connection. Once logged in, what can be seen are:
*Call logs: including the number of each incoming or outgoing call, time and duration of the call, and a recording of the call itself;
*You will get an overview of all text messages that have been sent and have been received. This includes full text, the number it was sent to or has been received from and the time
*In case the cell phone owner has accessed the internet using his phone you will see all sites visited with the exact date and time; and
*Real-time GPS location of the phone.
Most cell phone spy software is compatible with popular smart phones such as the iPhone and Blackberry, as well as phones based on Windows Mobile, Android and Symbian operating systems. You will even be able to track and monitor iPads.
Several versions of the software, with different features, may be purchased online, and then directly downloaded and installed into the cell phone.
