Today I will try to describe the most important points and the pitfalls that most people encounter when installing it themselves. In most cases, the installation process is quite easy, but you must follow the instructions carefully to ensure everything works correctly.

So, basically, the software installation process is the same for all versions of the programs, but there are minor differences for each platform - Android, Symbian, iOS, and so on.

Installation principle:

• The phone must be in your hands, not password-protected or locked, or you know the password to unlock it! You must have enough time to install the software without worry!
• Choose for your cell phone
• We give you a link to download the program
• You download the program to your phone - via a web browser, or copy it directly to the phone from your computer, or transfer it from your phone to the phone you want to control via Bluetooth
• Install the program
• Activate the program - enter the unique registration key that we will give you
• Reboot your phone
• Set up the program and test it
• You delete all “traces of your activities” - clear your download history, delete the installation file, clear the history of your calls and SMS that you left when testing the program.

As you can see, the installation process is quite easy! But this is only an approximate sequence - for some programs you first need to Jailbreak (for iPhones and other iOS devices) or obtain Root rights for Android devices. You must strictly follow our instructions for each program. All detailed instructions We send them to our clients by email or tell them and help with installation via Skype.

How long does installation take?

The process itself takes only 5 minutes – when you know what you are doing. If you are installing the program for the first time, then expect that you will need about 40 minutes! As practice shows, simple instructions can suddenly seem very difficult if you do everything in a hurry.

And keep in mind that before installing the program, you may have to spend time on preparatory steps:

• If you have chosen a program on your iPhone, then before installing the program, you need to! The Jailbreak process differs depending on the firmware version on the phone, so I recommend that you first search the Internet for instructions on how to jailbreak your phone, for example, by searching for “jailbreake ios 5.1.1” or “jailbreake ios 6.1.2”
• If you have chosen a program for Android and want the “listening to the phone’s environment in real time” function to work, you need to make root. How to get root rights for your phone, search the Internet yourself, since the rooting process is different for almost every Android phone model!

So, you have the phone in your hands, there is no password on it, you have already performed the preliminary steps (Jelbreaking or Rooting), you have studied our instructions and are ready to install the program yourself... What else do you need to know??

“Pitfalls” or “what you need to know so that there are no problems during installation”:

• How to turn on GPS on iPhone — go to the “Settings” menu -> “Privacy” -> “Geolocation” and enable geolocation completely, or in manual mode leave only the necessary services.
• How to turn on GPS on Android — go to the “Settings” menu -> “Location” and turn on GPS satellites.
• How to turn on GPS in Symbian - go to the Settings menu > Settings. Apps > Location > Location Methods > Assisted GPS (A-GPS). On Nokia Belle FP1 devices: Select Menu > Settings > Settings. Applications > Location > Find my location > Location methods > Assisted GPS (A-GPS).
• How to turn on GPS on BlackBerry — On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon. Click Device > Location Settings. Set Location Services to On. location determination. Press the Menu key image > Save.

Well, that seems to be all... in any case, we are always in touch and will help you with installing and configuring programs.

Almost every day we are asked how to wiretap a cell phone. I want to emphasize once again that we offer ONLY programs for monitoring a mobile phone! Other methods of wiretapping, such as complexes, through an operator, viruses, etc. we don’t offer, and we don’t have such opportunities... Today we will talk about how you can listen to any mobile phone in theory.

So, what types of wiretapping exist and can they be resisted?

Official, upon special request

Wiretapping method . The cellular operator, if required, is obliged to provide law enforcement agencies with the ability to wiretap, as well as provide access to the database (numbers, time, duration of incoming and outgoing calls, history of short messages, IMEI code of the mobile device, etc.). To an ordinary person operator cellular communication, naturally will not provide.

A way to avoid wiretapping. If you have good reason that you are being tapped in this way, do not use your previous phone number or the device itself. Either, as an option, use a special one, or use a crypto phone.

Unofficial, expensive

Wiretapping method . The method is that special equipment allows you to intercept a signal from a mobile device to a cellular operator’s base station and vice versa. This option is not available to the average person due to the high cost of the interception device, the price of which starts at $0.5 million.

In criminal circles, this technique is still in demand, despite its shortcomings: the signal capture radius from the phone is no more than several hundred meters and the existing probability of the operator changing the signal code. However, due to the fact that the method makes it possible to listen to conversations without the need to contact the “victim’s” mobile device or contact the telecom operator (as described above, this is impossible), it is actively used.

A way to avoid wiretapping. Apply protective equipment to such equipment. It works as follows: the equipment records the exchange of data from a mobile device with third-party equipment, after which pings are prohibited, after which it becomes difficult for attackers to intercept the conversation. A phone with an imei change will also help with this. But the most best option this is to use .

Using wiretapping programs

Wiretapping method . In order to wiretap in this way, the “victim” must have . The program will record all calls, messages, determine location and much more, then upload all data to the server in your personal account. There are also disadvantages to this method: the need for physical access to the phone to install a “spy”.

A way to avoid wiretapping. Do not leave your phone unattended and do not allow strangers to install unknown programs on it. Use antivirus programs to scan for malware.

Now you know what options there are for wiretapping and ways to avoid it. We would also like to add: so that you cannot be listened to during important conversation, do not use mobile devices for this, try to resolve issues in person :)

Listening mobile phones and their protection

• Wireless technologies

What options exist for wiretapping cell phone conversations, how can one protect against this type of attack, and how can a subscriber determine that his phone may be being tapped? Due to the lately a whole wave of espionage scandals, these issues are becoming relevant again. Journalists turned to Ukrainian mobile operators with a request to explain how subscribers should behave in such cases.

What was striking was that almost all the operators that journalists contacted were simply unable to provide answers to the questions posed. The only company that agreed to help were representatives of MTS Ukraine. The operator Life:) did not give an answer to the sent request at all, and Kyivstar replied that they are not experts in such matters, and that such questions should be addressed to special government services (read, Ministry of Internal Affairs, SBU, etc. ) The article below also used information about wiretapping of mobile phones obtained from public sources.

How operators protect their networks

When developing GSM technology, as well as at the stage of its implementation, all requirements from the controlling government were taken into account. authorities to the level of protection. It is because of these requirements that in many countries around the world the sale and purchase of special equipment, such as powerful encryptors, crypto equipment, scramblers, as well as very secure technologies for public communications, are prohibited. But mobile operators themselves ensure the protection of their radio channels using signal encryption methods. Encryption uses very complex algorithms. Which cryptographic algorithm will be used for encryption is selected at the stage when a connection is established between the base station and the subscriber himself. The degree of probability of a leak of subscriber information from the operator’s equipment, as MTS employees assured journalists, is practically zero. Why to zero, we asked - and all because of the complexity and control of access to the operator’s facilities and equipment.

How can you “listen” to mobile phones?

There are only two methods of wiretapping subscribers - the active method and the passive method. When passively listening to a subscriber, you need to use very expensive equipment and have specially trained workers. If you have money (read - big money) on the “black market” you can purchase special complexes, using which you can listen to the conversations of any subscriber within a radius of up to 500 meters. Ask why you need to have a lot of money? The answer is simple - the price of one such set starts from several hundred thousand euros. What such a kit looks like can be seen in next photo. There are many sites on the Internet where you can familiarize yourself with the description and operating principle of such kits and listening systems.

As the manufacturers of such listening systems convince, their systems can monitor GSM conversations in real time, because the operating principle of the equipment is based on access to the SIM card of the mobile subscriber, or directly to the database of the cellular operator itself. Although, if those listening to you do not have such access, they can listen to all your conversations with some delay. The amount of delay depends on the level of encryption of the communication channel that a particular operator uses. Such systems can also be mobile centers for listening and tracking the movement of objects.

The second method of wiretapping is active interference on the air with the authentication process and control protocols. For this purpose, special mobile complexes are used. Such mobile systems, which are essentially a pair of specially modified phones and a laptop, despite their apparent simplicity and small size, are also not a cheap pleasure - their price varies from a couple of tens of thousands to several hundred thousand US dollars. And again, only highly qualified specialists in the field of communications can work on such equipment.

The attack on the subscriber is carried out according to the following principle: since the complex is mobile and is located at a close distance to the subscriber - up to 500 meters - it “intercepts” signals to establish a connection and transmit data, replacing the operator’s base station. In fact, the complex itself becomes an “intermediary bridge” between the nearest base station and the subscriber himself.

After “capturing” the desired mobile subscriber in this way, this complex can actually perform any control function over the intercepted channel: for example, connect the person being listened to with any number necessary for those listening, lower the encryption algorithm or even disable this encryption for a specific communication session, etc. .d.

What such a complex looks like can be seen in the photo below.

As experts shared, it is impossible to determine 100% that the subscriber’s phone is being tapped at this very moment. But, you can get indirect evidence that may indicate that such a possibility exists. In the recent past, some mobile models (namely - push-button phones) had in their functionality a special symbol-icon in the form of a lock. If the lock was closed, then the signal is encrypted, and vice versa - if the lock is open... well, you understand everything yourself.

But in phones over the last 5-6 years there is no such function... It’s a pity. Although, for some smartphone models there are special applications that will signal the phone owner about the configuration of the settings used in the current communication session. One option is to notify the user about the mode in which his conversation is transmitted - using encryption algorithms or openly. Listed below are a few of these applications:

EAGLE Security

It is one of the most powerful applications for protecting your mobile phone from wiretapping. This program prevents any connections to false base stations. To determine the reliability of a station, a check of signatures and station identifiers is used. In addition, the program independently monitors and remembers the location of all base stations, and if it is detected that a base is moving around the city, or its signal disappears from time to time from its location - such a base is marked as false and suspicious and the application will notify the owner about this phone. Another useful feature of the program is the ability to show which of the applications and programs installed on your phone have access to your phone’s video camera and microphone. There is also a function to disable (prohibit) access to any software you don’t need to the camera.

Darshak

This program differs from the previous one and its main function is to monitor any suspicious activity on the network, including the use of SMS, which can be sent without the permission of the phone owner. The application evaluates in real time how secure your network is and what encryption algorithm is used at this moment and much more.

Android IMSI-Catcher Detector

This application also helps protect your smartphone from any connections to pseudo-bases. The only disadvantage of this program is that you will not find it on Google Play and if you still want to install it, you will have to tinker with this procedure.

CatcherCatcher

The CatcherCatcher program, like its analogues above, is engaged in identifying false base stations that attackers (or special services?) use as intermediate “intermediary bridges” between the subscriber and the real base station.

And finally, experts also recommended using special applications to ensure the security of personal conversations and data, including encrypting your conversations. Similar analogues are the anonymous web browsers Orbot or Orweb, for example. There are also special programs that encrypt your telephone conversations, photographs and many already use secure messengers.

Before you think about, say, how to listen to your wife’s mobile phone, it is worth taking into account the fact that any interference in a person’s personal life is completely illegal. And it doesn’t matter who he is to you: wife, husband, sister, mother, and so on. Therefore, if you suddenly decide to seriously concern yourself with this problem, keep in mind that all the actions you take are contrary to the law.

How to listen to a mobile phone legally?

The answer is simple - no way. Only law enforcement agencies can carry out actions to wiretap a phone, and only if they have a court order to do so. IN in this case assistance is provided to them directly by the mobile communications operator, which is obliged, according to the decision made, to provide maximum assistance to law enforcement agencies.

An ordinary person will never be able to use this service from cellular operators. Unless you find a person working in law enforcement who agrees to help you solve this problem.

Are there other options for listening to a mobile phone?

In our modern times, when, as they say, progress moves by leaps and bounds, there are many ways to listen to a mobile phone. One of them is the use of special equipment. Taking this option as a basis, a person who needs to obtain certain information uses special, usually very expensive equipment, thanks to which the outgoing signal from the victim’s mobile phone is intercepted on the way to the base of the cellular operator.

Despite the fact that this method- the pleasure is more than expensive, it allows you to listen without making contact with the victim.

Strange MMS

It's no secret that most detective agencies work former employees secret intelligence services. Sometimes they reveal their secrets of how to wiretap a cell phone. This option is possible thanks to the genius of programmers or hackers. In order to use this method of eavesdropping, all you need to know is the victim's phone number. A special virus program is attached to a picture, which is sent as a regular MMS message to a specific number. As soon as the subscriber opens the message for reading, the Trojan program is quickly activated on the phone and begins its work.

Now we can talk not only about how to listen to someone else's mobile phone. This virus allows you to listen to conversations taking place outside the device. Even if the subscriber turns off the smartphone, listening will continue.

Smart phones

If we are talking about what types of listening devices exist for mobile phones, then first of all I would like to mention the device itself.

It is known for certain that there are certain models of smartphones that have built-in programs that allow not only to listen to a subscriber’s telephone conversations, but also to read all SMS correspondence, as well as listen to the surrounding environment. Of course, you won’t find such devices for free sale.

It is known that some Internet resources are actively selling listening devices and the smartphones described above in particular. If you have an idea to buy such a phone to give to your spouse, then treat it with special attention to such proposals. Otherwise, you risk paying 30 thousand for a regular Chinese smartphone without any spyware.

Should you trust sites on the Internet?

Believe it or not, it's up to you to decide. In fact, sources that offer help in deciding how to listen to someone else's mobile phone should be treated with extreme caution. If you look closely, the cost of any wiretapping equipment is quite high. Here we are talking not only about spy phones, but also about bugs and other devices.

You may be asked to pay only part of the cost. But this amount is also very impressive, especially considering the fact that there are at least a dozen people like you.

Therefore, before you rush headlong into the adventure of purchasing super-listening devices, think carefully about whether you are ready to throw a certain amount of money down the drain. Yes, just take it and throw it away! No? Then, maybe, it’s not worth trying, buying who knows what and who knows who?

Malware

In fact, you can manually install a virus on your phone that will spy and send you reports on the information received. In order to understand how to wiretap a cell phone using spy software, you will need the program itself and access to the victim's phone.

Install via the Internet, activate and... listen to everything and everyone. True, for this you need to have yourself software. But, again, be vigilant, because there are plenty of people who make money by scamming users online.

As a rule, such “craftsmen” describe the delights of this program in all colors. They offer an absolutely ideal option for how to wiretap a victim’s mobile phone. Fraudsters justify their kindness by the fact that, for example, having once been deceived by a beloved wife or husband, they show solidarity and want to help everyone who finds themselves in such a similar situation.

What follows is usually detailed description program, instructions for use are given, detailed screenshots are provided, and then it is suggested to download the installation file itself either through a paid file hosting service, or by sending an SMS to a short number. Sometimes, after downloading a program, you suddenly discover the simplest software for installing bluetooth, for example.

In some cases, the program will download to your computer without an installation file, which you will be asked to purchase at a separate price.

Be vigilant

In fact, when deciding how to wiretap a mobile phone, you may find yourself under surveillance. Ask yourself: do you know exactly what files you are installing on your PC? What if they contain some Trojan viruses that will subsequently steal your personal information?

It's good if you have excellent antivirus protection on your computer. But it is known that some users simply neglect it.

When performing obviously illegal actions, think about the fact that to the question of whether a mobile phone that is in your personal use can be wiretapped, you may well receive an affirmative answer. I wonder how you would feel in such a situation? You will be offended and outraged because you honest man? Think about it, perhaps the person you are planning to spy on is not doing anything immoral either. Maybe you just misunderstood something?

To find out how to listen to someone else's mobile phone, just read this article. After which you will be able to listen to other people's telephone conversations and read their messages.

The easiest ways

Finding out secret information about another person has become very easy these days. You just need to buy or even make a bug yourself. The only question is where to install it?

Therefore, it is not enough to know how to listen to someone else’s phone. You will need knowledge of how to use the listening equipment. Most often, an office or other workplace. Unfortunately, this is not very reliable. After all, the “bug” may be found, it may break, or the sound simply will not be heard.

Can I record a conversation myself?

Recording conversations in a room is a rather dangerous activity. Your bug may fall off the attached surface or, worse, it may be covered with something. Anyone can understand that this device will be of little use.

There are more reliable way– installation of a GSM bug directly into the phone. However, in this case, wiretapping someone else's mobile phone will cost more. The fact is that almost anyone can create a bug. But, for example, only a few are capable of installing it into a communication device.

The subject of surveillance needs to be somehow convinced to give you his phone, but sometimes this is completely impossible to do. Especially if you decided to audition him specifically because you don't get along.

New method for retrieving audio data

All these methods have their pros and cons, but they are inferior to the next method. Its essence is that by installing special software, you can find out everything. Moreover, without the knowledge of the owner.

Go to a site that deals with mobile spying at a professional level. Here you can download any spy program of your choice.
