Flexispy - How To Spy On a Cell Phone & Which Spy Phone is #1? Flexispy Spy Phone, Mobile Spy, or e-Stealth?

How to spy on a cell phone using spy phone software?

Have you ever wanted to secretly spy on your spouse's cell phone due to signs of cheating? Or perhaps you're worried about your children, and want to monitor their cell phone for evidence of sexual activity or drug abuse?

Now you can, and it's a lot easier to do than you think. All it takes is for you to purchase spyphone software available from several online cell phone spy vendors. Within minutes of your purchase, you can be reading your suspected cheating spouse's sms messages, find out who they are calling or who is calling them, know where your children are, listen in on their surroundings or even intercept a live phone conversation.

**It's worth mentioning that another option is to buy a cell phone with mobile spy software pre-installed for you. These phones are usually referred to as "spyphones" and are sold by many online spy phone vendors. However, watch out for the cost. I've seen some of these spyphones selling for $500 - $1,500, and all you are getting is an old cell phone with spy phone software pre-installed.

What is spy phone software?

Used by people who suspect their spouse is cheating, parents who want to monitor the kids, or employers who want to monitor phone usage by their staff, spyphone software such as Flexispy & Mobile Spy is software built for cell phones that you download into a mobile(cell) phone of the person you want to spy on. Once installed, the software then secretly records all cell phone activity, giving you complete visibility of everything that occurs on the phone.

How does spy phone software work?

After installation, the spyphone software is completely hidden from the user and starts to collect all available data such as SMS Messages, ingoing/outgoing call history, location tracking, GPRS usage, etc. and uploads the collected data to a remote server using GPRS. (Neo Call forwards the data via SMS)

You then simply access the webpage of the spyphone vendor, enter your account details, and then you have full access to all the data collected 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, regardless where you are in the world. You can read all SMS messages (both incoming and outgoing), know who they are calling or who is calling them, where they were when the call was received, and more. Once armed with this information, you can use a reverse cell phone look up service and find out the identify of the person calling or sending messages.

Here is an overview of the entire process:

Imagine if you are a wife who suspects their husband is cheating on them. Now you can read all their incoming and outgoing SMS Messages, find out who is calling them and where they actually are when they say, "Honey, I'm at the office." or if you are a parent worried about their children and want to monitor their sms messages. No more guessing what happens when your loved ones leave the house.

IMPORTANT TIP! You MUST install the spy phone software on the cell phone you want to monitor. There is no way around this. No spy phone vendor on the market sells spy phone software with a remote installation feature.

MY #1 PICK is Flexispy

So how does a product that I rated one of the worst spy phone products for the past year, become my #1 recommended cell phone spy product?

It all started with an email from the guys over at Flexispy asking if I'd be willing to try out their new improved versions of Flexispy.

In their email, they indicated they made several significant improvements in both spy phone features that are not available by any other spy phone vendor, but also in their customer service.

I was intrigued, so I took them up on their offer to test out their new software, and I was absolutely blown away by what they've been able to accomplish.

The features offered by their top line PRO-X version, is by far the most feature rich spy phone product available anywhere in the world. No other product comes close. No matter what you read or hear, Flexispy clearly is the leader right now.

Here is an overview of their product line.

* Flexispy Pro-X: Top of the line spy phone. Features include the ability to listen in on LIVE calls, secret mobile GPS tracker, read SMS messages, phone call history, email, & secretly listen in on the phone's surroundings.

* Flexispy Pro: All features of the Pro-X version, EXCEPT the ability to listen to live phone calls.

* Flexispy Light: Read SMS messages, call history, & email. (same features as Mobile Spy)

* Flexispy Bug: Remote listening only. Use this product to bug a room or secretly listen in on your target's surroundings.

My favorite product is the Pro-X version. This bad boy has everything. I simply cannot believe what the guys at Flexispy have managed to create. There is no other way you're ever going to be a "fly on the wall" without actually being next to the person you want to spy on. Using Flexispy Pro-X, there is absolutely no way you CANNOT find out the truth.

Check out Flexispy Pro-X's complete list of features.

As you can see from the above screenshot, Flexispy Pro-X is loaded with features you WILL NOT find anywhere else.

Cell phones that Flexispy PRO-X support are iPhone & Windows Mobile, & Symbian (Nokia & some Samsung & LG phones.)

The other significant improvement made by the Flexispy team, is in their customer support. They now offer a variety of ways to help answer any questions. Support options include any of the following:

* Live chat via their website (English, Spanish & Dutch)
* Support phone numbers in US, Hong Kong, & Singapore
* Skype
* Improved FAQ

If you look at the other spy phone vendors, not a single one offers customers this many options.

In addition to improvements in features and service, Flexispy now supports the most mobile phones than any other vendor. iPhone 2G, 3G, & the new 3GS, Symbian 8/9 (more than 50 models), Windows Mobile, & even BlackBerry.

In summary, Flexispy wins hands down as the ultimate spy phone product available anywhere in the world. In addition, they now have the BEST customer support offered by any spy phone vendor online today.

- Product: Flexispy
- Cost: USD $149.00 - $349.00
- Supported Phones: iPhone 2G, 3G/GS, Windows Mobile, Symbian 8/9, Blackberry.

My #2 PICK is Mobile Spy.

Out of all the spyphone software I've come across, this is by far one of the most dependable products on the market today. Although not as feature rich as Flexispy, its gives every wannabe spy the basic features needed to spy on a cell phone.

Another reason why I really like these guys, is because when you order an annual license ($99.97 USD), you get a FREE 1 yr license to their award winning PC Monitoring software called SniperSpy. Not only does Sniper Spy monitor all websites visited, chat sessions, etc. but it also allows you to get real time access to the users PC, so you can actually watch what they are doing in REAL TIME! Now you can monitor their mobile AND their PC! So so cool.

Mobile Spy was one of the first spyphone software apps to monitor Windows Mobile based smartphones. The program has gained major media attention from dozens of radio stations, magazines and web sites all over the world because not only does it work as advertised, but it's sold by one of the leaders in PC spy technology.

As with most spyphone software, Mobile Spy software gives you the ability to monitor the various activities outlined below. Your logs are safely stored in your private Mobile Spy account which is accessible from anywhere in the world using a username and password you create.

Activities Monitored by Mobile Spy

SMS Monitoring
- Records every text message sent or received.
- Sender's Number
- Recipient's Number
- SMS Date / Time
- Message Text

Call Monitoring
- Logs all inbound and outbound phone calls.
- Number Dialed
- Number of Caller
- Call Date / Time
- Call Direction

Furthermore, where Mobile Spy really shines is their support and service.

Support - When I purchased Mobile Spy, I had a few problems with my GPRS settings. Every time I sent in a support request, not only did I receive a ticket number, but my support questions were correctly answered right away. In some cases, I received a reply within minutes. I'd say, 100% of the issues I raised were solved within 24 hours.

Service - One problem I have noticed when using spyphone software is the dependability of the vendor's website. Due to the large server loads that these programs place on the servers, you need to make sure the vendor has the capability and resources to ensure the servers stay online. In the last six months of using Mobile Spy, not a single time has the server been down.

In summary, although not as feature rich as Flexispy, Mobile Spy has all the "basic" features you need to spy on a cell phone, is made by a dependable company, has great support, and provides a service which really does work as advertised.

- Product: Mobile Spy
- Cost: USD $49.97 - $99.97.
- Supported Phones: Windows Mobile & Symbian 8/9, & iPhone, & BlackBerry.

** iPhone support with stealth GPS tracking NOW AVAILABLE (all models)

UPDATE 07-Nov-09: Android spy phone software from Mobile Spy is now available.

UPDATE 26-Oct-09: Mobile Spy BlackBerry spy software now available.

My #3 PICK is Neo Call.

Neo Call was actually the first company to market spyphones. They support a largge variety of cell phones and have more products than any of their competitors. So why are they not the market leader?

The problem with Neo Call is that their site and ordering process is too confusing. Sometimes trying to offer too much to someone results in them not buying anything. This is the case with Neo Call. I've been using cell phone spy software from the early days when it was only talked about in the hardcore mobile hacking forums, yet even I get confused when trying to figure out which software is best for me.

Here is a list of their products:

Neo-TRAX (Localization Software)

Neo-LIST (Call List Software)

Neo-LOG (Data Log Software)

Neo-SMS (SMS/MMS Software)

Neo-LOG PRO (BlueTooth Data Log Software)

Neo-PHONE (Spyphone Software)

Neo-SIM (Sim Info Software)

Neo-RECORD (Sound Recorder Software)

Neo-INTERCEPT (Interceptor Software)

As you can see, they have a large selection but which one do I buy?

If you look at the features of each one, several of their products do the same thing. Strange??

One product I have tried is the NEO SMS product. (the strange thing is that the features in Neo SMS are also in most of their other products. Which brings me back to my original point, which one do I buy?) Once installed on the target phone, Neo SMS will send to the predefined number a copy of any SMS received or sent by the Target Phone.

Translation = You get a copy of every SMS sent or received. :)

On a positive note, Neo Call has a great online forum which is quite active with users and Neo Call staff.

In my opinion, Neo Call is possibly only a website update away from becoming a true competitor to Flexispy. Neo Call just needs to consolidate their products, improve their ordering process, and hope those guys over at Flexispy don't release anything new. :)

Watch out for these guys!

- Product: Neo-Call
- Cost: USD $99.00 - $700.00
- Supported Phones: Windows Mobile & Symbian 8/9

The one product that I DO NOT recommend is Ultimate Bluetooth Mobile Spy Software.

The reason why I'm including Ultimate Bluetooth Mobile Spy Software sold by several companies online, is due to the large number of emails I receive asking what I think of e-Stealth.

e-Stealth has been very active online promoting their Bluetooth Mobile Spy Software. No matter what spy related keyword you enter into a search engine, there always seems to be an e-Stealth ad.

Does it work? Yes. Should you buy it? No.

The reason why I don't recommend you purchase e-Stealth's Ultimate Bluetooth Mobile Spy Software, is due to their ridiculous refund policy. Although they claim their software works as advertised, there could be situations where the software either does not work, or the person who purchased the software finds out their phone (or the target phone) is not compatible.

Here is a snippet from e-Stealth's refund policy:

*********************
WHEN YOU COMPLETE YOUR PURCHASE, YOU, THE BUYER, ARE CLAIMING THAT YOU HAVE READ, ACCEPTED, AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. WHICH INCLUDES A ZERO REFUND POLICY. THAT MEANS THAT NO REFUNDS ARE OFFERED.

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT IS A MATERIAL PART OF THE TOTAL CONSIDERATION REQUIRED TO PURCHASE OUR PRODUCTS.
**********************

It gets even better. Read the details of their refund & chargeback policy below.

*******************
** IMPORTANT ** PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING **

Buyer agrees that if he uses trickery to receive more than one refund, or if he causes a fraudulent dispute claim that results in a chargeback against the Seller's account, that the Seller is authorized to re-charge the Buyer's credit card that was used for the original purchase to the extent that will make the Seller whole. Buyer agrees to, in addition to actual damages, pay to the Seller liquidated damages of an amount equivalent to US$10,000 for every separate fraudulent action Buyer commits.
******************

Now let me ask you a question....

Regardless of how good their product is, do you really want to do business with a company that refuses to refund your money for ANY reason and makes you agree not to file a chargeback (fraudulent chargeback as they say), otherwise you are liable for USD $10,000 in damages.

With all the spy phone vendors online today, including many with 5-7 day 100% refund policies, why would you want to purchase from a company such as e-Stealth that has such a strict refund policy?

If you feel that downloading and installing spy phone software is a bit complex, and something you are just not comfortable with, then you I'd recommend you check out a SIM Card Reader.

A SIM Card Reader is a cool little device that enables you to recover & retrieve deleted text messages and call logs from almost every type of SIM cards & Smart card.

To use a SIM Card Reader, all you do is insert the target phone's SIM card into the device, then plug the device into any USB port on your computer, and then you'll have access to recently deleted text messages and call logs.

Here is an overview of how to use it.

Keep in mind, this is not as powerful as spy phone software. It does not offer continued access to text messages, call logs, and GPS tracking via an online control panel. Nor does it offer call interception and remote monitoring, but it's definitely better than nothing if you don't want to go through the steps to install spy phone software.

My recommendation is that spy phone software should be your first choice, then perhaps this product as your back up if you run into problems installing spy phone software. They both are similarly priced, so you do get better value for the money with spy phone software, but it's all about personal preference. Some people are more comfortable using a product like this, versus trying to figure out how to install software on the target cell phone.

IMPORTANT: If you do decide to purchase their SIM Card reader, make sure you read their list of phones and networks that are not compatible. They do a good job listing all phone makes and models, including which networks might cause problems. It's worth reading before dropping any of your hard earned money.
