Spy Phone Tip > How To Do A Quick Phone Check

By Spyphone Guy

Compatible Phone?

Determining if your target’s cell phone will support the installation of spy phone software, should be one of the first things you do prior to purchasing.  It’s easy to spot an iPhone or BlackBerry, but what should you do when you have absolutely no idea if your target’s cell phone is running Android, Symbian, or Windows Mobile?  To find out if your target’s cell phone is supported, here are a couple QUICK and EASY options.

OPTION #1: Go to the spy phone vendor’s website and see if your target’s cell phone is listed.  Check for a tab or link on their website that says Supported Phones, Compatibility or something similar.  The three main spy phone vendors Flexispy, Mobile Spy, & MobiStealth all have pictures of each supported phone type, so they do make it easy.

Using this option is great if your target has a phone that’s been on the market for a while, but if they have a cell phone that’s just hit the market, you probably won’t see it listed on the vendor’s website. This is where Option #2 comes in.

OPTION #2: Do a quick online search yourself and find out right away.  Performing a search on your own is actually quite easy if you know where to go.  My favorite resource to check on phone compatibility is CNET Reviews.  When readers email me wanting to know if a specific phone is compatible, I’ll always reply back with a link to a review from CNET.  Just follow these three easy steps.

1) Go to http://reviews.cnet.com and do a search for the phone.

CNET Search Box

2) Look for your phone within the search results, and then click on the one that best matches your search query. Once the review page loads, you’ll see a series of small tabs. What you’ll want to do is click on the ‘Specifications’ tab as shown below.

Specifications Tab

3) Now scroll down and look for the ‘Communicator Features’ section.  If you see either Google Android, Symbian OS, or Windows Mobile, then you’ll be able to install spy phone software on your target’s cell phone.

Communicator Features

Just remember that not all vendors support all OS types.  Here is a quick summary of each company, and what they support.

FLEXISPY – BlackBerry, iPhone, Symbian, & Windows Mobile

MOBILE SPY – Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, Symbian, & Windows Mobile

MOBISTEALTH - Android

In a perfect world,  the best thing to do would be to do a quick search as described above and verify that your target’s cell phone is supported.  Then just to be 100% sure, send an email to the spy phone vendor and ask them to confirm that the phone is supported.  There could be a legitimate reason why a specific cell phone is not listed on their site as a supported phone.  In probably 9 out of 10 times, if you see that your target’s cell phone is running a supported OS, you wont have any problems installing spy phone software, but it’s always good to double check.

Have fun,

SPG

Cool post. I do have a question.

Thanks

Can any of these (Flexispy, , Mobile Spy or Mobisteal)be loaded onto an Lg CU 920 Vu with AT&T? It only listed User Interface under the Communicator Features.

Hi,

I had a look at http://reviews.cnet.com/cell-phones/lg-vu-black-at/4505-6454_7-32815554.html?tag=mncol;lst and it doesn’t seem that the LG VUE 920 is a supported phone. That means it doesnt use a supported OS such as Android, Symbian, or Windows Mobile.

Hi Mitch,

I looked up the specs and saw that too. Unfortunately this means its not a supported OS.

Hi Jennifer,

I had a look at the specs (http://reviews.cnet.com/cell-phones/samsung-rugby-sgh-a837/4505-6454_7-33270821.html?tag=mncol;lst), and it looks like its not on a supported OS, which means its not running on either Android, Symbian, or Windows Mobile, so you can’t install any spy software on that phone. Keep in mind, you install the software on the phone you want to monitor, not your own phone.

Hi David,

Thanks for the post.

My apologies, but the report is STILL delayed. I’m almost done with it, but it’s taken sooooooooo much longer than I anticipated because I keep adding stuff, editing things, etc.. I’ve set a personal goal to finally get it out within 30 days, which I know is still a few weeks away, but I’m sure you’ll be very happy with the finished product. :)

Hey quick question

I live in Toronto Canada(target phone as well) .. The target phone is a Blackberry Curve with Telus service… will this work with the Canadian service provider Telus?

Thanks

Regards

Dru

Hi Dru,

Yes, it will work on Telus. The only thing you need to make sure is that the phone is on a data plan. However, you need to get physical access to the phone, so if you don’t think you can get physical access, you might want to look for alternative ways to spy on/monitor them.

When i make a call I hear a kinda of high pitch ring just before the regular rings before the regular sometimes i will be txting with another number and all of a sudden they stop receiving my my messages. whats up with that?

I purchased Mobistealth and I attempted eight different times to upload the
Software and received an error message all eight times. “The server
could not understand the page request or was unable to process it for some reason”.
Then I tried the same link on my pc and received “File unknown”.
Description: Windowds does not recognize this file type.
Mobistealth does not offer any phone number and I am not receiving any reply’s to my emails. Now what? Is this a scam?

Just wanted to know if there is any spyware for the lg rumor 2-virgin mobile phone ??? Thanks

My boyfriend has an LG Env3. I don’t see it listed on any of the spy sites. I assume that means there is no spy ware available? I can periodically get ahold of the phone. He is typically very possessive of it since I found nudey shots of his ex wife, recently sent, and solicitations for s#$@ with the girlfriend between me and wife. I know…do I really need spyware? Yes. It’s complicated.
Thanks,
