Cell Phone Spyware: How To Spy On Other People’s Cell Phone Calls

Cell phone is an indispensable device to us. It connects us to the rest of the world and lets us perform a host of functions which, even a decade back, were only science fiction to us. However, there is a flip side. This very device that you cannot possibly do without can give yourself away to unknown persons. With cell phone spywares on the market, your cell phone can help intruders track your (almost) every single move as long as your phone is with you. So how is this possible? How to listen a cell phone conversation with another phone? Well, not only is this possible, but the scariest part is that this can be achieved without any great difficulty. You do not need any advanced technological knowledge or resources. Simply a spyware and a few minute’s access to the phone you want to bug will do.

 How is it done?

These spywares are there on the internet and one can download it in a minute’s time. Next, if this person gets hold of your phone for five minutes, he can install the software on your phone and you would not even know. Now when this software is being installed on the targeted phone, the intruder will get access to all your phone conversations, text messages and all other activities on your phone through his cell phone. For example, every time your phone rings, the spying phone will buzz, too. And not only this. With most cell phones having strong microphones these days, your phone can be turned in to a long range listening device.

So even when your phone is off, the microphone can be turned on and the intruder may listen to your conversations through his phone. So it is not only that he can hear your phone conversations, but your off-phone conversations as well (!), provided that your phone is kept close enough to you. For example, if you are in a meeting room and your phone is kept on the table in front, the intruder will get access to the conversation in progress inside the meeting room.

Moreover, if you have GPS activated on your phone, your location can be tracked all through the day as long as you have your phone with you. This, however, can also be done even if the mischief does not have physical access to your phone. A service (currently available only in UK, although the service provider promises to spread its wings over other countries soon), available over the internet, allows anyone to use data from someone’s cell phone towers and GPS system to locate that person’s whereabouts. All this site needs to do is to send a text message to your phone and requires a first time response from your cell phone. If the response is available, the site can thereon track your (your phone’s) exact location all hours of the day.

There are also similar spywares which can access data from your phone by sending a text message or a picture message. Soon as you open the message, the software gets installed on your phone and the intruder gets from full to partial access (depending on the potency of the spyware) to your cell phone interactions.
