It looks like we are a couple days away from Flexispy releasing their iPhone Spy Phone software. How will it compare with Mobile Spy’s iPhone Spy Phone?

From what I’ve read, Flexispy will support a few more features such as logging Email and GPS Tracking. However, the most important feature in my mind is the ability to support the earlier 2G iPhones. I believe Mobile Spy will soon hit the market with Email logging and GPS Tracking capabilities, but I’ve heard nothing yet about the ability to support earlier iPhones. Perhaps it’s next on their list?

So who is going to win the battle of the iPhone Spy Phone software vendors?  I have no idea, but it’s going to be interesting though to watch each spy phone vendor quickly innovate in order to offer their customers the latest and greatest spy phone technology/features.

In light of the consumer confusion that will soon hit the iphone spy phone market, due to both spy phone vendors claiming that their product is the most superior, I have just launched a new website www.spyoniphone.com, for customers to post their own unbiased review of either product. This will give them a place to either praise the software or vent their frustration. It’s also going to be a great place for buyers who are trying to decide which iPhone Spy Software to purchase. They will now have a resource where they can read reviews (good & bad) by customers of both products.

www.spyoniphone.com

I’m also going to be vary careful not to approve any spam or fake posts. I really want this to be a place where people can go and write about how good or bad the software is. Was it easy to install? How was the customer service? What did you think of the price? These are the kind of questions, I’m sure all of you who are in the market for an iPhone Spy Phone want to know. If this review site works well, I’ll launch similar sites for other products.

So what are you waiting for? If you’ve recently purchased iPhone Spy from Mobile Spy, or have beta tested Flexispy’s iPhone Spy Phone, go over to www.spyoniphone.com and submit a review. If you are thinking of buying iPhone Spy Software, then go read reviews.

If you feel there could be improvements made to the site, let me know.

According to a recent survey of 785 visitors conducted by the website www.somebodyelsesphone.com, 84% polled said secretly keeping tabs on their partner was essential with most of them admitting that they would snoop through their partner’s cell phone if they thought the person was cheating.

What can you do to protect yourself from cell phone snoops? The makers of Flexispy, seem to have the answer, and its called FlexiSHIELD.

So what does FlexiSHIELD do?

According to FlexiSHIELD’s website, it will shield all communication activity, including the ringing of an incoming SMS or Phone call, from contacts that you specify. Text messages, Call Logs , Multi Media Messages, & Email from these shielded contacts are silently diverted to a secret hidden database that only you can access. This means that if you ever leave your cell phone laying around, you don’t have to panic when someone picks it up and starts to go through your cell phone.

Another scenario how FlexiSHIELD can hep you is when you are with your spouse, at work, or in a meeting, you no longer have to worry about your phone ringing or receiving embarrising Multi Media Messages. Only calls (and all other communication) that you want to come through will, and all others will be diverted to your secret database.

FlexiSHIELD Features:

  • Shield Mode – Hide all activity from specified contact in a hidden database(MMS, SMS, Phone Logs)
  • Incoming events are suppressed in real-time with no audio or visual notification
  • White List – Accept calls from White List only. All other calls are rejected
  • Black List – Reject calls from Black List
  • Contact List – Accept calls from Contact list only
  • White, Black, and Contact modes are mutually exclusive, and independent from Shield mode
  • FlexiSHIELD is undetectable, so a casual observer will never know its installed
  • Available for Symbian 9 devices.
  • Symbian 8, and Windows Mobile coming soon.
  • PRICE: 150 Euro

I’m scheduled to get a review copy sometime this week. Once I test out FlexiSHIELD, I’ll post a more detailed review. In the meantime, if you want more info, go to www.flexispysoftware.com

This is going to be the first of many Spy Phone Q & A posts I’m going to publish.

Every day, I get a plethora of emails from people all over the world asking very similar spy phone questions. I feel that rather than continue to answer these questions in a private one-on-one email exchange, it would be better to publish the most commonly asked questions on my blog. I’ll still continue to respond to emails, but before you email any spy phone questions, please scan the new ‘Spy Phone Q & A’ category first to see if I’ve already answered your question.

Thanks. :)

Now lets get started…..

Question #1: Can you install spy phone software remotely? In other words, must I have physical access to the cell phone I want to spy on?

Spyphone Guy: The quick answer is NO. You cannot install spy phone software remotely, and you MUST have physical access to the phone. There is absolutely no way around this.

Not a single spy phone vendor on the market today, is selling any type of spy phone software that has remote installation. I’ve actually spoken to a few of them, and they’ve told me that although it’s technically possible, they would never develop it. There is just too much opportunity for abuse. Not to mention the legal ramifications that a spy phone vendor would incur.

Currently, most spy phone vendors walk a fine legal tightrope between between selling spy phone software for personal use, and breaking privacy laws of most countries. They get around this by advertising spy phone software as a way to back up your phone data, monitoring employees, and protecting your children. A few spy phone vendors, even go a step further by promoting spy phone software as a way to catch cheating spouses. Regardless of the way spy phone software is advertised on and offline, the entire market would change once a vendor decides to start offering spy phone software with remote installation capabilities. The legal ramifications the company would incur would be far exceed any type of temporarily financial gain. They would essentially be driving a stake through the entire industry. There would no longer be any distinction between a rogue mobile virus/trojan developed by a hacker to wreck havoc on mobile phones throughout the world, and spy phone vendor selling spy phone software. Unless you are a government agency, or some sort of spy phone ninja / secret agent, I don’t think you’ll ever be able to get your hands on spy phone software with remote installation capabilities.

So what should you do if you cannot get physical access to the target phone? Definitely don’t waste your money on any type of spy phone software. I repeat, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. I know there are few sites out there claiming that you can remotely install spy phone software, or use other technologies such as Bluetooth. Do not believe what they advertise. If you do, its your loss.

My recommendation is that you either find a way to get access to the target phone, or you look for alternate ways to monitor them. For example, what two technology items are most used today? I’d say cell phones and computers. Which means, if you can’t get access to one, go for the other one. Any google search for “PC Spy Software” will turn up at least 40-50 different PC Spy vendors. The one I recommend is Sniper Spy. I’m a huge fan of Sniper Spy because I have yet to find any other PC Spy software that can compete feature by feature. This is not a Sniper Spy review, but I do want to mention that Sniper Spy has remote installation, it records keystrokes, takes screenshots of the remote PC, uploads the logs to a secure remote server, and best of all, has LIVE PC monitering. This means you can actually monitor a PC in real time. Think about it. Now you can watch your target’s PC in real time as they chat, surf the web, etc. Like I said, there are a lot of vendors out there, so please do your research, but if you want my opinion, no other PC Spy software can compete with Sniper Spy.

Now you know, that no matter what you read online, there is no way to install spy phone software remotely, so you will have to find other ways to get the information you want.

If you still have questions about remote installation, send me an email or leave a comment and I’ll do my best to clear things up.

The company that brought you Flexispy (currently available for Symbian, Windows Mobile, & Blackberry), are set to release support for the Apple iPhone in the next few days.

Flexispy’s iPhone Spy Phone will go head to head against the recently launched Mobile Spy iPhone Spy Phone. However, from what I’m hearing, Flexispy’s iPhone version will have a few features not found on Mobile Spy’s iPhone Spy Phone software. These features include the following:

  • iPhone Email Logging. (secretly read incoming/outgoing emails)
  • GPS Location Tracking.
  • Support For Earlier iPhone Models.
  • Quick & Easy Installation (10-15 min max)
  • Direct to iPhone download and installation. (no PC required)

Pricing has not yet been confirmed, but as soon as I get more info, I’ll be sure to post an update. I’ve been promised a test version of Flexispy’s iPhone Spy Phone to be delivered this Friday or Saturday, and will write a full review once I’ve had time to test it out a bit.

The Apple iPhone now officially has an iPhone spy phone application, that enables anyone to spy on an iPhone in total stealth mode.

>>>> BREAKING NEWS! Feb 21, 2009: Flexispy releases their iPhone spy phone software. For details, click HERE.

Mobile Spy, one of the leading spy phone vendors, has officially released their iPhone spy application. When installed on an iPhone, this spy phone application secretly records all incoming or outgoing SMS messages & the iPhone’s call history. This information is then uploaded to a remote server at various intervals, to be viewed via any internet connected device (PC or Mobile) with a web browser. Check out the diagram below for more details.

Which iPhone Versions Are Compatible?

The iPhone spy phone works for second generation (3G) iPhones only. Currently, the iPhone spy phone application is not compatible with the first generation iPhone. If your Apple iPhone is a 3G 2.x phone then it is compatible.

One thing to point out is that you DO NOT need 3G access for the iPhone spy software to work, but the iPhone must have internet enabled so the spy phone software can upload logs to your online account. However keep in mind that even if the iPhone is not connected to a 3G network, the iPhone device needs to be the 3G model. Not sure which one you have? Check out the current iPhone 3G 2.x technical specs at Apple.

In addition to the second generation iPhone requirement, the iPhone is required to be jailbroken (unlocked) to enable the iPhone spy software’s functionality. If you are not sure about how to unlock an iPhone, do not worry because Mobile Spy provides extremley easy and reversable instructions to do this at no cost upon ordering. It’s just a simple 5 step process, and detailed screen shots are included.

HOW MUCH? You have a few options.

You have three options to consider when purchasing the iPhone spy application. The three options are:

1) Annual License (12 months) for $99.97

2) Semi Annual License (6 months) for $69.97

3) Quarterly License (3 months) for $49.97

** There are a couple things I want to point out.

- If you purchase an annual license of the Mobile Spy’s iPhone spy software ($99.97), you get the award winning Sniper Spy PC monitoring software FREE. Have you ever wanted to spy on a remote PC? Sniper Spy is absolutely amazing. Not only does it secretly record every key stroke on a remote PC, but it also takes screen shots at set intervals, has remote installation, and best of all it has LIVE PC MONITORING. Yes, you heard that right. With Sniper Spy you can secretly spy on a remote PC in REAL TIME. Another cool feature is that while spying in real time, you can perform a variety of functions such as download files, view recent activities, and a lot more.

- 10% DISCOUNT! :)   The guys over at Mobile Spy, were kind enough to offer my readers a special 10% discount of the purchase price of any iPhone spy software license. When making your purchase, just enter SPYPHONEGUY as a coupon code on the ORDER PAGE.

WHERE TO BUY?

www.mobile-spy.net

(Note: The software will be available as an immediate download, once you complete the order process.)

That’t about it. I’m going to download my own copy and test it out for a few days. After I test it out, I’ll do a follow up review and let everyone know how it works, the good, bad, & other details. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me or leave a comment.

Obama & His Blackberry Spyphone?

Posted by: Spyphone Guy | Comments (0)

Great article over at PC World about the dangers of CEOs (including President Elect Barack Obama’s love for his Blackberry) being exposed to mobile spyware.

The article mentions how mobile is the least secure medium, but I’d have to disagree. There are lot more spyware applications for PCs (PC spy programs such as Sniper Spy or USB key loggers such as KeyGhost) available to purchase, compared to mobile spyware programs such as Flexispy or Mobile Spy.

Another reason is the fact that EVERY type of mobile spyware out there, requires you to have physcial access to the mobile phone in order to install the cell phone spyware. However, with PC spyware, you do not need physical access to the PC. You can easily install these programs remotely by wrapping the spy program into an image, video clip, mp3, Excel or Word doc. Installation takes seonds versus minutes for cell phone spyware.

In summary, I feel no matter what Obama decides to do with his Blackberry, or whichever medium corporate CEOs choose to use as his/her primary communication device, beinge exposed to spyware is a real possiblity, but due to the requirement that physical access to a mobile phone is required to install cell phone spyware, I feel a mobile phone is the much better communicaton choice compared to a PC.

What are your thoughts?

Lately, I’ve been receiving a ton of emails from people asking me when cell phone spy software for the iPhone will be available. It seems everyone wants to spy on an iphone these days. The iPhone is now the top selling phone in the United States and most likely several other parts of the world, its no wonder more and more people are anxious to get their hands on iphone spy software.

The good news is that I know of two vendors who are 3-4 weeks away from releasing iphone spy software. It looks like you’ll be able to do all the basic spy phone stuff. Read SMS messages, view the phone’s call log, etc. However, it seems the iPhone spy software will only work on the new v2.0 3G iPhones. This has not been 100% confirmed yet by both vendors, but it has been confirmed by one of them. The phone will also have to be unlocked (jail broken) in order for the spy phone software to work on the iphone.

Overall this means in order to install the iphone spy software, you’ll most likely have to do the following:

1) Unlock the iphone.

2) Install the iphone spy phone software.

3) Send SMS command to the phone to complete installation.

4) Send test SMS & confirm everything is working.

Thats about it.

As soon as I get more detailed information, I’ll be sure to share it with all of you, in the meantime, if you want to be notified when the iphone spy phone software is available, go to www.iphonespy.com and sign up for the iPhone Spy notification list. As soon as either vendor releases their iphone spy software, you’ll be notified right away.

My Blog….. the first post. :)

Posted by: Spyphone Guy | Comments (0)

My first spy phone software review. :)

cell phone spy software

Almost two years ago, I wrote a simple one page spy phone review on Squidoo, where I reviewed three of the top spy phone products on the market, and recommended which one to buy.

Almost 40,000 cell phone spy hungry visitors read my review and demanded more.

Gradually, I wrote several other reviews, helped hundreds of buyers purchase the right spy phone software, and wrote the first detailed report on the spy phone industry. Things continue to get busier and busier for me. I answer around 50 emails a day from cell phone spy buyers around the world, test new spy related products for various vendors, continue to work on my own spy stuff, and today I launched my own personal spy phone blog. yeahhhh!! :)

The purpose of this blog, is to review the latest cell phone spy software products on the market, provide overall spy news, buying tips, & help answer questions from anyone not sure which spy phone to buy. I answer a plethora of questions via email, and I feel if I can share these questions & answers via my public blog, then more people will benefit.

I hope you find the information useful. Over the coming weeks, I’ll add a lot more content, but for now, I just wanted to write my first post.
