I continue to get a lot of emails from people who want to know if it’s possible to install spy phone software without ever getting their hands on the person’s cell phone that you want to spy on. I’ve discussed this in the past, but I want to bring it up again because it’s still a question that is asked several times a day.
The quick & easy answer is a big “NO!”
There is absolutely no way to install spy phone software sold by the two leading spy phone vendors, Mobile Spy & Flexispy, because you must install the software directly on the target’s cell phone.
Now this of course does not include hackers and legitimate scams out there that attempt to install Trojans, or games you download that have a backdoor to send out usage data. I’m only talking about commercial spy phone software that you can purchase online. Although technically possible, offering remote installation opens up the possibilities for a plethora of abuse. It’s just not worth it. I’ve personally spoken to the owners of both Flexispy & Mobile Spy, and both are in agreement on this.
Installing spy phone software is not difficult if you follow the spy phone vendor’s instructions. Both have detailed steps with screenshots to help you every step of the way.
Here is a quick overview of the basic steps.
- You find a way to get your hands on the target’s cell phone.
- Then you fire up the cell’s web browser,
- Enter the URL provided to you by the spy phone vendor.
- Download the software, install, & configure.
As you can see, when you take a few steps back, installation is not difficult. However, without physical access to the cell phone, none of the above steps is possible.
Many people ask me how long it will take & if installation is difficult. This is really a tough question to answer. Total installation time should take anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour, but it really depends on your experience level with using cell phone applications, mobile web browser, etc.
One thing I do advise people is that before you even think about installing spy phone software, take time to go through each step and make sure you understand what each step says to do. If not, send the spy phone software vendor a quick email and ask them to clarify. It will be a lot less stressful if you thoroughly understand each step. It’s also wise to have a story or excuse in mind if you were to get caught during installation. A quick “I’m downloading a special ringtone.” will do wonders to ease any suspicion the other person might have. I would even go as far to recommend downloading a ringtone or game first. This does two things for you. 1) It gives you a bit of experience downloading something, and navigating the cell phone a bit to install. 2) If you do run into problems and/or get caught during installation, you can show them what you were doing.
The good news is that once you do install the software, there should not be any reason to get access to their phone again. In fact, Flexispy has a cool SMS remote control feature that enables you to control a variety of settings — including removing the spy software.
So what should you do if you cannot get physical access to the target phone? Definitely don’t waste your money on 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 for all cell phones such as Android, BlackBerry, or iPhone using technologies such as Bluetooth. Do not believe what they advertise. If you do, its your loss. I’ve received countless emails from people who’ve purchase bluetooth spy software because they were told having access to the target phone was not necessary. Unfortunately, this is a big lie. Even if those bluetooth spy products worked, you’d still need access to target phone to “pair” the two devices. This is after you are lucky enough to ever get the software to work.
Bottom line, without physical access to the cell phone, there is absolutely no way you are going to get spy phone software on it.
If you can’t get physical access, what are your options?
You can do any of the following:
1) Ringtones, Games, & Wallpaper. Find a way to get access to your target’s BlackBerry so you can install the spy phone directly on the phone. Tell your target that there is a cool new game you want to download for them, or a ringtone, wallpaper, etc. You can also tell them that you need to use their phone because your battery is low, then take a quick bathroom break or something similar where you can be alone for a bit. Remember, by now you should have studied the installation instructions so you know exactly what to do. Perhaps even print out a cheat sheet that you created.
2) Great Gift Idea. I know this sounds a bit overboard, but if you’re concerned that your spouse might be cheating on you, investing in the latest iPhone, BlackBerry, or Android phone will be worth the money if this is the only way for you to get a spy phone in your target’s hands. New models of cell phones come out all the time, just look at all the recent hype surrounding the Motorola Droid & Google’s Nexus One. Buying a new cell phone would be a perfect way for you to take all the time you need to install the spy software, configure, test it, etc. and then give to your target as a gift. Valentines day is fast approaching. hint hint
3) Look For Alternate Ways. For example, what two technology items are most used today? I’d say cell phones and computers. If you can’t get access to one, go for the other one and purchase PC spy software. Any google search for “PC Spy Software” will turn up at least 40-50 different PC Spy vendors. My personal favorite is Sniper Spy, because it has a cool live monitoring feature and by the way, it also has a remote installation feature. If you purchase an annual license to Mobile Spy’s software, they will throw in a free license to Sniper Spy. This will get you both spy phone & PC spy software for a tad under $100 bucks. You can start with the PC spy software, then go for the cell phone spy software once you are able to get your hands on their phone. I’ve looked at numerous other PC spy software vendors such as SpectorSoft & WebWatcher, but none give you Live PC Monitoring that Sniper Spy does.
Other options include Google’s Latitude application which allows you to track the movements of a person using Google Maps. However, they will have to ‘opt in’ to being tracked, so if you want to do this secretly, there is always GPS tracking devices you can place on (or in) their car. Just do a Google search for GPS tracking devices and you’ll see hundreds listed. You can also find out who they call most often via looking at their cell phone records (if you have access to them), and then do a reverse phone look up using many of the reverse phone look up services, such as Cell Phone Snoop.
Now you know, that no matter what you read online, there is absolutely no way to remotely install spy phone software, but at least there are numerous other options you have at your disposal to come up with a way to get your hands on your target’s phone, or perhaps use an alternative method to spy on your target.
If you have any questions, be sure to send me an Email.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It’s time again for my predictions of what spy phone products we could see in 2010. Some of the products and spy phone features are definitely on the way, and others I’ve only heard “whispers” about from various sources, while some are just wild guesses on my part. 
TOP 5 THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN 2010
1) MORE ANDROID SPY APPS
More Android spy software will hit the market in 2010. By the middle of this year, we’ll have at least 3-4 different spy phone vendors selling Android spy software. As the popularity of Android devices continue to increase, more spy phone vendors will rush out to create Android spy apps. I’ve already come across one new Android spy phone product that I’m currently reviewing, and more are on the way. Another thing causing a lot of buzz is the recent release of Google’s Nexus One phone. If Google puts some of their billions into a massive online marketing campaign, we could see an insane number of people using the Nexus One phone,which means a lot of people will be looking for Nexus One spy apps. This will be yet another incentive for more companies to create Android spy apps.
2) BLACKBERRY MESSENGER SPY SOFTWARE
A release date on this has not been confirmed by anyone yet, but I know several companies are looking into a way to spy on BlackBerry messenger conversations. As any BlackBerry addict knows, using BlackBerry messenger to chat with people is one of the most addicting features of a BlackBerry. Current BlackBerry spy phone software enables you to do just about anything, EXCEPT spy on BlackBerry messenger conversations. If spying on BlackBerry messenger conversations is found out to be technically possible, I’m predicting we’ll see this spy feature released this year.
3) PALM SPY APPS
Although I personally don’t think we’ll see any spy apps for Palm devices, the Palm Pre and other phones Palm is planning to release in 2010 could create enough users that might motivate a spy phone developer to create Palm spy phone software. A few people in the industry have mentioned it, but nothing has been confirmed. When I look at my web stats on how people find my blog, I do see a lot of ‘Palm Pre spy apps’ searches, which means people are definitely interested in spy software for Palm cell phones. However, I don’t think the market is big enough yet for the investment required to develop spy phone software for Palm devices.
4) PARENTS TRACKING THEIR CHILDREN.
As spy phone software becomes more mainstream, I feel this year we will start to see a lot more spy phone apps built exclusively for parents who want to monitor their kids cell phone use. Although existing spy phone apps do target concerned parents, the software is not really built exclusively for parents. The software is still hidden and there are not any features that are built for parents who want to protect their kids. Being alerted when your children go out of a “safe zone” (that you created via an online map) or possibly a feature where kids can silently trigger an alarm that secretly notifies their parents and police, are just a few of the features I feel parents would want. I understand that there are companies out there that target software to protect kids, but they don’t do a good enough job. Their pricing structure (most charge a monthly fee, which is a rip off), the way you sign up for their services, cell phones supported, features, etc. are just some of the problems with the existing companies. In 2010, things will change, and we should start to see a lot more companies enter this space.
5) BLUETOOTH SPY SOFTWARE & OTHER SPY PHONE SCAMS
It’s no secret. I’m not a fan of bluetooth spy software. If the it worked as advertised, then I think it would be a fantastic product. Who wouldn’t want a bluetooth spy phone product that had no range limitation, didn’t require that you “pair” the devices, and is used by the CIA and FBI. Unfortunately, the software doesn’t work, but one thing it does do well is piss off a lot of people who purchase it and find out that not only does it not work as advertised, but they can’t get their money back. I know that this year we’ll continue to see people purchase this type of software, and that means we’ll continue to see even more people who start to believe the entire spy phone industry is a scam, and that none of the products work. Every software will have problems, but in more than 90% of the cases, spy phone software sold by the industry leaders work as advertised, unlike the bluetooth spy software that simply does not work ad advertised on their websites. Another problem we’ll see in 2010, is the increased amount of spy phone scams. Last year we saw the MMS Phone Interceptor, and this year I’m sure we’ll see a few more.
That’s about it for now. Once I get more information on any of the above new spy phone software products, I’ll write more detailed reviews.
Once again, Happy New Year!

2009 Year In Review | The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
By · Comments
FLASHBACK AND WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2010
Not sure how you felt, but 2009 went by real fast. Feels like just yesterday, I was celebrating the dawn of 2009. Lots of exciting stuff occurred in the spy phone industry last year. Spy phone vendors continued to release updates to their software, new features were added, new phone types were supported, and we even saw a new spy phone scam hit the market. Overall, it was a good year for the industry, and 2010 looks to be even better.
Before I get into my 2009 year end review, I’d like to give everyone a bit of insight into what changes will occur with this blog.
I initially created this blog to provide a place where spy phone news and reviews could be reported. I started to report on the spy phone industry in early 2006 via mostly on forums and a small Squidoo lens I set up. I decided that I wanted my own place to hang out and report on the spy phone industry, so that led me to launch this site. This was in December of 2008, and back then the spy phone industry was still under the radar, so there were not so many people looking for spy phone software. However, in the past year, the buzz has taken off and now it seems spy phone software has hit the mainstream press, so awareness has sky rocketed.
With more people looking for spy phone software, I realized last year that instead of reporting only on spy phone news, what people are really after is more information on how to purchase spy phone software, spy phone reviews, and just overall information on how the stuff works. I receive almost 100 emails a day now from people around the world, and the majority of these emails are asking for assistance, advice, etc. This means that what this site is lacking, is information to help people make the right purchase decision, and of course not get scammed in the process.
With that being said, what I plan to do this year is the following:
1) More “How To” information. You’ll start to see more posts that are focused on commonly asked questions I’m seeing in emails and forum posts. I’ll still of course report on new products, but I’ll definitely start to add in more “how to” information.
2) More frequent posts. I’m going to do my best to write a new blog post every Monday & Friday. Most likely, I’ll have posts mixed in during the week when specific news hits, but at least there will now be a set schedule on when new posts will occur.
3) You’ll start to see more Q & A categories. Right now, there is a single ‘Spy Phone Q & A’ section that you can access via the top header. This will still be a place where you can see all the Q & A posts, but I’ll now have additional categories that allow you to filter down to a specific phone type such as iPhone, BlackBerry, etc. In addition, I’ll have categories such as Installation Q & A, Set Up Q & A, etc.
4) More spy phone reviews. Another big improvement will be the addition of more reviews. I set up a site called Cell Spy Reviews a month ago where people can post their own experience using spy phone software. So far the feedback has been very positive, which means there is a demand for reviews on various spy phone products.
5) I’ll start to reply to more emails, forums posts, and comments. I currently dedicate 10 hours a week to emails and forum posts, but I’ve realized that I need to double this if I’m ever going to be able to get back to everyone.
Thank you for being a reader and for the trust you’ve placed in me as your resource for spy phone software news and information. Hope you have a great 2010.

2009 YEAR IN REVIEW: THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE UGLY
Lets get started!
THE GOOD!
Lots of good stuff happened last year. Here are a few of the top stories that kept the spy phone industry buzzing.
1) Flexispy Released PRO-X For iPhone & BlackBerry. Flexispy PRO-X is Flexispy’s top of the line spy phone software. What makes this version of Flexispy so unique, is the Call Intercept feature that is exclusive to Flexispy. Using Flexispy PRO-X, you can listen in on live calls as they occur. No more reading text messages & emails to figure out what is really going on. Using Flexispy PRO-X, you can listen in on live calls, so you’ll hear the actual conversations as they occur. This version was only available for Windows Mobile & Symbian cell phones, but Flexispy released support for BlackBerry & iPhone in the middle to end of last year.
Related Posts:
2) Android Spy Software Hits The Market. Last year some of the most talked about cell phones were running on Google’s new Android OS. Motorola Droid, HTC Dream, HTC Magic, HTC Hero, My Touch 3G, & the Motorola Cliq. Mobile Spy beat everyone to the market with the world’s first spy phone software for Android based cell phones. Starting at only $49.97, Mobile Spy’s Android software offered all the must have spy phone features such as text message interception, viewing call logs (incoming & outgoing), and stealth GPS tracking. Their timing was fantastic, because their announcement came when Motorola was going nuts promoting their new Droid cell phone with a ‘Droid Does’ campaign. This gave me a great opportunity to add a bit of humor and create a ‘Droid Does Spying‘ post.
Releated Posts:
3) Spy Phone Software Becomes More Affordable. Flexispy introduced various pricing options for their iPhone spy software. This made it a lot more affordable versus their old pricing model. In the past they had a single price option of $149, $249, & $349. Towards the end of last year, they decided to reduce some of the functionality for their iPhone version and create a new one called Flexispy Basic, with a price tag of only $39 for a 3 month license. In addition, Mobile Spy introduced a BlackBerry version which brought down the price substantially for someone looking to purchase BlackBerry spy software. Flexispy’s BlackBerry version starts at $149, versus Mobile Spy’s 3 month license price of only $49.97. Great news for anyone on a budget looking for BlackBerry spy software. Perhaps in 2010 we’ll see Flexispy create a Basic version for the BlackBerry as they did for the iPhone.
Related Posts:
THE BAD!
Bluetooth Spy Software. E-Stealth, Big Daddy Spy, Phone Stealth, & Cell Spy Pro. These are just some of the companies selling bluetooth spy phone software. The sad thing is that despite repeated warnings by me and a lot of their customers, bluetooth spy software continues to sell in record numbers. I continue to get emails every single day from people absolutely pissed off that the software does not work. The sad thing is that a simple search on Google would uncover numerous complaints. Perhaps this is just one of those situations where people want to believe in something so much that despite all the warnings signs, they still proceed with it. The ads for bluetooth spy software try to tap into people’s desire to have features that traditional spy phone software does not have such as not having to access or install anything on the target phone. I have yet to come across a single email from someone who has said anything positive about these products. To top it off, the software being sold is available free on the internet because it was originally developed as a proof of concept to showcase the vulnerability of bluetooth devices, which has now been fixed.

Additional Information:
THE UGLY
Spy Phone Scams. I was torn between putting bluetooth spy software in the ‘Ugly’ category, but decided to crown the ‘MMS Phone Interceptor‘ as the ultimate worst product of 2009. This scam must have hit a lot of people because anti virus company Symantec reported in their ‘August 2009 State Of Spam’ report that this spy phone scam has quickly become one of the top threats of 2009. The product is being marketed via email (spam) and other online / offline channels. The way it works is you send the company money for their spy phone product which requires no installation on a target phone (sound familiar??), only just your own cell phone. Once you install the software, it starts to collect YOUR data versus the target device that you intended to spy on. If you come across this product, stay far away from it.

I get a lot of emails from people asking me about BlackBerry spy software. Out of all these emails, I’d say roughly 75% ask specifically about how to spy on a BlackBerry Curve. I knew the Curve was a popular model, but I didn’t realize it was the top selling consumer phone in the US until I read a recent report published on November 25th.
According to research firm NPD Group, the BlackBerry Curve was the #1 consumer smart phone in the U.S. The iPhone 3GS and 3G took second and third place. Although this #1 ranking was due largely to a 2 for 1 promotion Verizon had, this report explains why so many people are interested in BlackBerry Curve spy software.
The good news is that for anyone who is looking for BlackBerry Curve spy software (or spy software for any other BlackBerry phone), a few options do exist using BlackBerry spy software.
BlackBerry spy software is an application that is installed directly into the BlackBerry phone you intend to monitor. Once installed, the BlackBerry spy software secretly records specific BlackBerry events such as the sending or receiving of text messages messages, email, etc. The events are then uploaded to a secure online web account where you can log in via any internet connected device that has a web browser.
Despite what you might see advertised around the web, only two spy phone vendors are currently selling BlackBerry spy software. Here is a little information about each company and their BlackBerry spy product.
1) FLEXISPY BLACKBERRY SOFTWARE (PRO-X)
Flexispy’s PRO-X BlackBerry spy software is the most advanced BlackBerry spy software available anywhere. Anyone willing to part ways with $350 USD, can get BlackBerry Curve spy software which will enable them to secretly read text messages, emails, view the phone’s call history, track their location via GPS, remotely monitor their surroundings, and listen to live phone calls. Flexispy PRO-X is definitely worth the money if you think you’ll need all these features.
Everyone has their own reason for wanting to purchase spy phone software, some want to spy on their spouse, monitor their children’s cell phone use, employers might want to monitor their employees, or perhaps someone might want to use BlackBerry spy software as a personal back up solution. If you analyze your situation and you feel that having the ability to secretly listen in on live calls or listen in on the BlackBerry’s surroundings is a must have feature, then without a doubt go with Flexispy. Whenever someone asks me which BlackBerry spy software I personally recommend, I always say, “Flexispy!, if you are not on a budget.” If you are on a budget, or don’t need all the features Flexispy’s PRO-X has, then check out the second option below.
- Product: Flexispy PRO-X
- Spy Phone Features: Live call interception, remote monitoring, text message interception, view call logs, stealth GPS tracking, & 100% undetectable.
- Guarantee: 10 day money back guarantee.
- Price: $349 USD
- URL: www.flexispysoftware.com
2) MOBILE SPY BLACKBERRY SPY SOFTWARE
Mobile Spy is a new player in the BlackBerry spy world, but they are not new to the spy phone industry. Mobile Spy was the first spy phone company to release both iPhone & Android spy software, so they definitely know what they are doing. Mobile Spy’s BlackBerry spy software does not have all the features as Flexispy’s PRO-X, but it does offer all the standard spy features that should be enough for most situations.
Mobile Spy ’s BlackBerry spy software enables someone to secretly read text messages, call logs, & has stealth GPS tracking. They do not currently support live call interception, remote monitoring, or email logging, but it’s a lot more affordable compared to Flexispy. Mobile Spy has an option to get started for only $49.97 USD, which will give you a three month license. Remember, it’s up to you to decide what your budget is and what spy features you need, before making a decision on which BlackBerry spy software to buy.
- Product: Mobile Spy BlackBerry
- Spy Phone Features: Stealth GPS tracking, text message interception, & view call logs.
- Guarantee: 10 day money back guarantee.30 day money back guarantee. (If they can’t get the the software to work on your phone.)
- Price: $49.97 USD (3 month license) or $99.97 USD (1 year license)
- URL: www.mobile-spy.net
IMPORTANT! -> If you purchase BlackBerry spy software (Flexispy or Mobile Spy), you MUST HAVE ACCESS TO THE BLACKBERRY CELL PHONE! There is no way to install BlackBerry spy software if you cannot get physical access to the BlackBerry cell phone that you intend to spy on. If you cannot get access to the BlackBerry cell phone, here are a couple suggestions.
1) Buy A New BlackBerry. The easiest way to make sure you successfully install spy software on a BlackBerry Curve or any other BlackBerry cell phone, is to purchase a new BlackBerry phone (Christmas is right around the corner!), take the time to install the spy software, configure it, test it, and then give the BlackBerry cell phone to your target (person you want to spy on/monitor) as a gift.
2) Use Reverse Cell Phone Look Up Services. If you only have a minute alone with the cell phone, which is not enough time to download the spy software, install it, and configure it, then you can always quickly glance down and look to see which numbers are called the most during odd hours of the day. Now take this number and enter it in any of the reverse cell phone look up services to get information on who this person is. If the number is a land line, you can do a reverse look up free of charge, but if it’s a cell phone, you’ll have to pay anywhere from $4.95 -$14.95 per search. You can try Cell Phone Snoop (www.cellphonesnoop.com), Intellius (www.intellius.com), or just type in ‘Reverse cell phone look up service’ in Google, Bing, Yahoo, or whatever search engine you use.
Before I end this blog post, I want to add a few common BlackBerry spy phone questions that are often asked.
Q: Can I spy on BlackBerry messenger conversations?
SPG: No. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to monitor BlackBerry messenger conversations. There is a way to technically do this, by creating a fake BlackBerry messenger app. Essentially you trick the user into using a custom made app that has the same look and feel as the real BlackBerry messenger. However, the one they are using actually was created by the spy phone vendor, so it records all the conversations that occur. To create this would take a lot of work, and I’m not sure if either Flexispy or Mobile Spy are willing to invest the time and resources into this.
Q: My husband/wife always keeps their BlackBerry Curve locked, and I don’t know the passcode. Can I install BB spy software even though their BlackBerry Curve is locked?
SPG: No. You need to get full access to the BlackBerry cell phone. In order to install the software, you’ll need to use the phone’s internet browser and type in a URL given to you by the spy phone vendor. This will then start a download of the spy software. Once you have downloaded the software, you’ll have to install and configure it. The entire process will take anywhere from 5-30 minutes, depending on your experience with BlackBerry applications. The good news is that once you install the BlackBerry spy software, you’ll not have to touch the BlackBerry phone again. However, if you can’t get past the initial phone lock, you’ll never be able to install the BlackBerry spy software.
Q: What type of phone do I need to have in order to spy on a BlackBerry?
SPG: You don’t even need a cell phone to spy on a BlackBerry. The reason is that the BlackBerry spy software is installed on the BlackBerry of the person you want to spy on. The only thing you need is access to a PC that has an Internet Browser, so you can access your online account, and view the data that was recorded on your target’s BlackBerry device.

Today Dell announced their plans to enter the smartphone market. It seems they are going to start in China, then later into Brazil and other parts of the world. No word yet on US launch dates.
Their initial cell phone will be the Dell Mini 3, which will run on the Android OS. As you probably are aware, Mobile Spy recently announced that their popular spy phone software will now support Android cell phones. This means when Dell does finally decide to release their cell phones stateside, you’ll easily be able to turn a Dell smartphone, into a Dell spy phone.
I can envision a day when employees who would currently receive a standard Dell laptop, will now get a Dell laptop AND Dell cell phone. This can open up a lot of opportunities for employers to easily monitor all employee communication on company provided devices. I fervently believe that it’s only a matter of time before all company provided cell phones are monitored, much the same way as most company provided PCs and laptops.
Justification for spying on employee cell phone use will most likely be to ensure that employees are using their company provided cell phones for work related activities versus personal activities. Other reasons could be to enforce company compliance policies and to keep logs of employee interactions with customers (text message communication or email) in case of a dispute or company lawsuit.
We are entering interesting times indeed.

Wow, the guys over at Mobile Spy have been really busy. Less than two weeks ago Mobile Spy for BlackBerry was released, and today they announced that their Android spy phone software is available for immediate purchase. With this release, Mobile Spy becomes the first spy phone vendor to support the fast growing Android OS.
How Does It Work?
As with most spy phone software, Mobile Spy’s Android spy software works by secretly recording activity that occurs on the Android device, and then secretly uploads the recorded events to your secure online account that can be accessed via any internet connected device that has a web browser. (See the diagram below for details.)
ANDROID Spy Phone Features?
Mobile Spy for Android has the following spy phone features:
- Runs In Total Stealth – No mentions of the Android spy software are shown inside the Android device.
- GPS Tracking – Mobile Spy secretly records GPS locations, so you can track the Android user.
- Secretly Read Text Messages – Mobile Spy’s Android spy secretly records the entire contents of all SMS text messages (both incoming & outgoing), along with the number that is associated with the message stored in the Android’s address book. This Android spy feature enables you to read all text messages even if they are deleted immediately after being read.
- Call Records – With this Android spy phone feature, all inbound and outbound call information is recorded. Additional details include call duration and the name of the number that is associated in the Android’s address book.
Compatible Android Devices?
According to Mobile Spy’s Android press release, Mobile Spy is compatible on all Android devices, including the new My Touch 3G by T-Mobile and the hot new Motorola Droid.
How Much & Where To Buy?
Mobile Spy’s Android spy software is priced at $99.97 for an annual license. (Includes a FREE copy of Mobile Spy’s award winning PC spy software, Sniper Spy). You can also purchase a license for three months at $49.97 USD or six months at $69.97 USD.

<UPDATE -> November 6, 2009: Mobile Spy has released the world’s first Android spy software, and Motorola DROID is listed as one of the compatible Android devices. For more information, click HERE. So much for my guess of being one or two months away. )
Not sure how many of you have seen those Motorola Droid ads, but I thought it would be fun to create a parody of their Droid ad by giving it a “spy phone” theme. What do you think?
As you probably have seen, Motorola’s new Droid cell phone is getting a considerable amount of buzz, and it seems that the actual product may live up to all the hype. If you haven’t seen any details on the Droid phone, you should check out this great Droid review.
With the holiday season fast approaching, I think a lot of people have the Motorola Droid on their Christmas wish list because I’m starting to get emails from people asking me if there is, or if there will be, spy software available for the Droid.
The short answer is yes.
The Droid cell phone uses Android as the OS, and I know for a fact that there are at least three different spy phone vendors currently developing spy phone software for the Android OS. If you want to be the first who gets notified when Android spy software is released, you can sign up for the Android Spy Phone notification list. My guess is that we are only a month or two away from the first Android spy software, but it’s tough to say because all the spy phone vendors are keeping their own actual release date under wraps so their competitors won’t know what they are up to.
So what will Droid spy phone software feature? Based on the spy phone features planned for Android, a Droid spy phone will have the following:
- Text Message Interception – Ability to secretly read text messages that are sent or received from the target’s Droid phone.
- View Call Logs – This will enable someone to secretly view the Droid’s call logs, such as incoming and outgoing calls with the contact name that is associated to the phone number.
- GPS Tracking - This is a given as well. Stealth GPS tracking will be a primary feature of Droid spy phone software.
Here are a few possible Droid spy phone features based on a few rumors I’ve heard. Don’t forget that these are only guesses based on rumors I’ve heard, so if you don’t see some or all of these spy phone features available when Android spy software is released, please don’t send me any hate email.
- Remote Monitoring – Turn a Droid phone into a room bug. This Droid spy phone feature will enable someone to secretly listen in on the surroundings of the Droid phone.
- Picture Uploads - This new spy phone feature will enable a person to remotely access the pictures in the Droid phone.
- Remote Camera Activation – This Droid spy phone feature will activate the Droid’s camera and then secretly upload the picture to a secure online account so the person who is spying on the Droid phone can see where their target is.
- Call Interception – iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, & Nokia (Symbian) phones all have spy phone software that offers live call interception, so why would Android be safe? You can almost be sure that this feature will be offered.
In summary, Droid spy phone software, which is based on Google’s Android OS, is definitely coming soon. Most likely it will be available before Christmas. Keep in mind that one of the best ways to get spy phone software installed on a cell phone and be 100% sure that it works, is to buy a compatible cell phone, install spy phone software, and then give to your target as a gift.
Based on the emails I’m getting about Droid spy software, it seems more than a few people out there have this approach in mind, so if your spouse surprises you with a brand new Droid phone, be careful because as the ad says, “Droid Does Spying.”

FLEXISPY PRO-X (BLACKBERRY)
SECRETLY LISTEN TO LIVE CALLS!
This should be a real buzz killer for Mobile Spy.
As you probably know, Mobile Spy announced on October 26, 2009 that their popular spy phone software now supports BlackBerry. It was great news. A low cost, feature rich alternative to Flexispy was now available. However, Flexispy also had a big announcement in the works.
Today, Flexispy announced that they have released Flexispy PRO-X for BlackBerry cell phones.
The one feature of Flexispy PRO-X that will have EVERYONE talking is ‘Call Interception’ which enables people to secretly listen in on LIVE calls! In a nutshell, when Flexispy PRO-X is installed on your target’s BlackBerry, you will be notified when a call takes place, then you can dial into the BlackBerry and listen in on the live call. Truly amazing piece of spy phone software. Here is a complete list of features found in Flexispy PRO-X for BlackBerry.
CALL INTERCEPTION - This enables users to “tap” the BlackBerry’s phone and listen in on live calls as they are happening. This is the ONLY BlackBerry spy software available anywhere that has this feature. To use Flexispy PRO-X’s Call Interception feature, you simply specify a series of phone numbers that you want to listen in on when your target makes a call. As soon as an incoming or outgoing call from one of these numbers occur on the BlackBerry (with Flexispy PRO-X installed), you will be immediately notified via text message, and then when you call your target’s BlackBerry phone, you are secretly added to the call.
SPY CALL – This BlackBerry spy phone feature enables users to make a secret spy call to the target’s BlackBerry, which will answer your call but will not notify the BlackBerry user that a call has come in. No notification will be announced or displayed on the phone. This will allow users to secretly listen in on the surroundings of the BlackBerry phone.
READ EMAILS – Want to find out what emails are being sent from the BlackBerry? With this BlackBerry spy software feature, users can see all contents from sent emails.
TEXT MESSAGES – Don’t worry if your target deletes their text messages after they are read. With this BlackBerry spy phone feature, users are able to log into a secure, online account and view all contents of deleted (or current) text messages. Incoming and outgoing messages are recorded, along with full contents and the number who the message was sent to or received from.
STEALTH GPS TRACKING. This BlackBerry spy phone feature will give GPS coordinates of your target. Wondering where your target is? Not anymore! with this BlackBerry spy phone features, users will get full GPS coordinates, which will enable you to track down your target.
100% UNDETECTABLE. Try to find it. You wont be able to. Flexispy PRO-X is 100% undetectable.

Notification will include the new number), Remote Control (control Flexispy via SMS commands).

PLEASE NOTE:
Flexispy PRO-X is compatible only with BlackBerry phones using OS 4.2.1 and above are supported.
Flexispy PRO-X (BlackBerry) DOES NOT work on CDMA networks (it only works on GSM networks). Please make sure your target is NOT on a CDMA network before purchasing Flexispy PRO-X. I’ve been told that future versions of Flexispy PRO-X will support CDMA network, but not timeline has been given.
