Cellphone Spy Emails

Here's an email from Lia G. I decided to post it because of the similar question asked repeatedly. I also edited the original article.

in the article how to catch a cheating husband, you refer to 3 different spy programs but you dont list the names of them, or where i can find them. i am interested in using the 2nd or 3rd program and would like to know what it is and where to get it.
appreciate the info.
thank you

Here's the link to the new mobile phone spy, with an actual recommendation. The purpose of the first article "cell phone spy overview" was to give you just that, an overview of the types of cellphone spies out there. So for a product recommendation, check the newer post.

Any future emails asking this question or similar question will be answered with just a link to this pots. Not trying to be cold or anything, just trying to save time cause things are getting a bit hectic in real life.

Update May 2011:
Okay, this is crazy, seems no one wants to actually read things through haha. After posting this, I got even more questions about email on cell phone spies. If the title was misleading, I'm sorry. This post was meant to answer the cell phone spy email questions I get sent.

Since this created new questions, I'll update it with this :
Yes, the cell phones spies that are both featured in the "mobile phone spy" article are both capable of reading emails that you send through your cell phones. Basically anything that is accessed on the internet through those phones are saved at the webservers of the respective cell phone spy services you are paying for. You can also make your cell phone spy "send to email", a function that updates you via email in case the phone you are monitoring has changed location, sent a new text, etc.

And no, there will never be a recommended free cell phone spy or keylogger. Read the article to find out why I won't ever post one here, and why you should never risk downloading "free" software that serves an important function.

Keep Cellphone From Being Spied On

We talk alot about mobile spies and cellphone software that can let people read texts messages remotely in this blog. But how do we prevent malicious people from doing it to our mobilephones?

With a cellphone spy that reads simcards, your only option of preventing people from spying on it is not to let them get their hands on your cellphone. Sim card readers basically extract data from simcards, meaning they need to physically insert your simcard into the simcard reader. You can't do anything about it if they get your simcard, they could simply insert it in the card reader and plug it in a PC and they can get your data.

With a cellphone spy SOFTWARE, those that remotely view your inbox/pictures/videos, you will have to password protect your cellphone so no one but you can open your phone. If they do not know your password, they can't install the cellphone spies. You have to make sure your password is difficult to crack, because once someone can access your cellphone, they can spy on it by installing the software. Since these softwares are undetectable, there's not much you can do.

You can also just disable the internet on your cellphone, that way the mobie spies (if there are any) can't connect to the webserver and transmit your data for others to view.

Things that may mean your cellphone is being spied on/tapped :

The battery, even when unused, gets hot/warm.
Unexpected blinking LEDs
Unexpected internet activity (although some are undetectable)
Random noise/beeping when you are in a phone conversation.
LED/Phone light button stays lit or lightly lit even after turning off the phone.

Mobile Phone Spy FAQs

My spouse installed a Mobile Phone Spy on my phone, but I changed phones but still have the same number, can I still get spied on?
No. These mobile phone spies are software based spy tools, meaning if you change your phone, that means you have a brand new system, with nothing installed on it.

Can I install anti spyware to prevent my phone from being spied on?
You could, if they were made to detect these custom mobile phone spies. The custom made cell phone spies (the ones on the sidebar) are currently undetectable. They come with a subscription fee because the software continually evolves to patch over any anti spyware software you install. So you will be part of a continuous cycle of anti spyware patching over cell phone spies, and cell phone spies patching anti spyware. Patching refers to the software updating itself; cell phone spies patch to be undetected, anti spyware patches to detect.

What's the best way to prevent someone from spying on my phone?
Do the methods described above. For sim card readers, keep your cell phone away from people who might spy on them. For software based spies, keep your phone passworded and watch anyone who uses your phone to prevent them from installing anything. Don't let your cell phone out of your sight. Also disable blue tooth so people can't send you anything with viruses (these are different from cell phone spy programs). Anything that requires a download, such as multimedia files, images videos etc can contain malicious files. Don't know the sender? Don't accept the attachments.

What's the best way to avoid viruses?
Besides installing anti virus / anti spyware software, the old saying holds a lot of water. "If it's too good to be true, it probably isn't". Don't fall for freeware on the internet. Free ring tones, free images, free anything.

I'm not saying buy everything, just don't blindly accept or download things from the internet. Google the website you want to receive free stuff for before you download anything from them. Most browsers also have a malicious site detector that will warn you before you enter a website. Firefox has it, so you might want to download the free browser.

Please remember that monitoring a cellphone YOU DON'T OWN is illegal. So is attaching a GPS device on a car you don't own. Any kind of monitoring you do should be on a piece of equipment or property that YOU DO OWN. You are responsible for your own actions and the actions of the people you hire (private investigators).

Catch a Cheating Spouse With GPS Car Tracking

What is GPS car tracking?

GPS Car tracking is when you attach a GPS device (hidden from plain view) and monitor the car's location via a tracker unit which you hold safe. A GPS (Global Positioning System) car tracker will help you in determining exactly where your spouse, or at least his or her car is at.

Obviously an important tool in determining whether you have infidelity problems in your marriage or relationship. This option is best suited for those who do not have that much cash to spend for hiring private investigators.

A GPS car tracking unit will help you know the truth, if your husband or wife is lying to you. A cheating spouse will most likely take a day off from work, and not tell you, then head off to meet the person they are cheating on you with. This is where a GPS car tracker, or other such GPS devices which you can attach secretly to his or her things (briefcase etc) comes in handy.

And no, you do not need to be technically savy to operate any of the GPS devices to catch you cheating husband or wife. It's a simple process which involves attaching the tiny GPS tracker to their car, or any other place that won't be easily found, and then monitoring it with the GPS device which shows you on a map where the exact location of the tracker is. Most recommendable products come with a handy step by step instruction, and tech support if you do have any problems.

There are various choices for GPS tracking, not just attachments to your car. There are GPS tracking for cell phones too, which costs a monthly subscription (ask about this from your supplies, as prices vary from more or less than $10 a month), and several other types of GPS handheld devices. Cellphone GPS trackers are an alternative, if your spouse does not use a car to get around.

GPS Tracking Units

How would GPS car tracking help me with my cheating spouse?

The most important thing to remember is to avoid infidelity, is you need to know the truth. With some men or women, all it takes is a simple conversation, setting of boundaries, and respecting each others needs or desires. Other people just cannot help it and will lie to you, some studies show that there is an innate need for men and some cannot control their physical urges. GPS car tracking or having cellphone spies will help get you out of the dark, what you do about it when you know he or she is lying to you is all up to you, but of course if you really love your spouse you will do everything you can to save your relationship/marriage. GPS tracking devices for cars will give you undeniable proof that you can use when you confront your spouse.

Confrontation is ALWAYS better than remaining idle and waiting for your cheating spouse to correct themselves, they may even be brainwashed by the other person to leave you. Remaining idle will not do anything good for you, when you decide to confront them you will more than likely end up having better self esteem. There are various articles on this site about dealing with infidelity, and marriage counseling.

Confronting a cheating spouse after you know that he or she has been lying about their whereabouts may just save your relationship/marriage, or give you an advantage in court if you plan on going with this option. I recommend any sort of GPS cartracking/Cellphone spies to help put your mind at rest and finally know the truth about what is really happening when he or she is away from the house.

If you are still unsure if you need or want a GPS Car tracker, check out this list of cheating spouse signs. For those of you who do not want to actively look for evidence against your cheating spouse, I have also written a basic guide on how to hire a private investigator, and how to monitor your computer using a keylogger. Be warned though, a GPS car tracker is loads cheaper (and only you get to know the details of the affair) than hiring a private investigator. See more ways to catch your cheating spouse, follow the link to our guide.Please fully read the guide before asking questions on the comments section. Also read the comments on every post you view, there are loads of helpful tidbits in there posted by other readers.

January 2011 Update : You might be interested in a cheaper alternative than installing a GPS car tracker, it's a GPS cellphone tracker, discussed in the cellphone spy article.

Cellphone spy overview

Overview of cellphone spy programs

If you've never heard of cellphone spy programs, it is basically software that allows a parent to monitor their kid's cellphone calls or text messages. The same programs are being marketed to husbands and wives to check if their spouse is being unfaithful and they have cheating husbands or wives.. These spy programs can be the answer to your questions, "Do I have a cheating husband?", "Who does he always talk to on his cellphone?", "Is he cheating on me?" etc.

Let's start with the most basic type of program, since there are several brands, we'll just call it "cellphone spy 1". Now Cellphone spy 1's capabilities are limited, and usually cost less than $100. Cellphone spy 1 is the usual software program that allows you to read text messages from your cheating spouse's phone by taking his sim card, and attaching it to the device which will send it to your PC. This will not only let you read text messages in his/her inbox, but also text messages that he/she has already deleted. Yes, you read that right, text messages that they've DELETED already. Since most spouses that cheat delete their messages, this tool will show you EVERYTHING.

"Cellphone spy 2", this is just like the first type of software, but the difference is the cost and functions. It is similar because it will let you read the text messages, but it adds the ability to also listen in on the calls.

"Cellphone spy 3", these things are what you want if you're looking for total control over your cheating husband's cellphone. This software type of spy is usually (depends on the software you pick) undetectable. A cheating spouse , who is smart enough to know about cellphone spies, will NOT use their cellphone for talking with the person they are cheating on you with and when they do talk to this person, it will be in code. They could change the name of the girl to "Jack" or "John" to disguise it from you even if you have a cellphone spy to read his/her text messages.

What cellphone spy 3 does different, or more than the other 2, is that this type of cellphone spy will not only allow you to read text message, listen to voice calls, but also control your cheating spouse's cellphone. You can silently "call" their cellphone using this cellphone spy program, and listen to what is happening around your cheating spouse (as long as the cellphone is with them). If they turn off the cellphone, it will NOT actually be turned off, and you will still be able to listen in on whatever activities might be going on in the immediate area of the cellphone.

You can also get your cheating spouse's message/call archive, turn off his phone, have his phone call a specific number, play a ringtone, etc. You can literally control your cheating spouse's phone directly from you own phone. These types of cellphone spies are usually subscriptions based and cost $100+ PER month. I'd say you never really need all the features that a cell phone spy 3 type offers. It's just too much features. I would get the cheapest cellphone spy (type 1) that can read texts, which in my opinion would be more than suitable in helping you know whether or not your spouse is cheating, or having an emotional affair.

On the other hand, if you're here and want to know how you can STOP your cheating spouse from spying on your cellphone, simply remove the battery from the phone. Just turning it off will not work if you are being spied on with a program such as "Cellphone spy 3". As for the other cellphone spy programs (1 and 2), the cheap ones aren't much of a threat, just keep your cellphone with you all the time and don't let anyone touch it (so they can get the simcard) and they can't spy on you. Unless you fall asleep and they get to tamper with your phone, your private details are safe. Setting a password on your phone will also help prevent people from installing software to monitor your cellphone activities.

Cheating spouses who use different phones or hides cellphones you are unaware existed in the first place are difficult to catch. If you think your cheating husband or wife has a secret cellphone they use to keep things from you, try a different method to catch your cheating spouse. See the link on the sidebar for a guide to catch a cheating spouse.


Please read the comment section below before you ask your own question, the comment section in this post is very very helpful, and someone even posted their own guide below.


UPDATE January 2011
Because of all the comments asking somewhat similar questions, I have made mobile / cell phone spy follow up post with an actual recommendation, not just a guide to help you search for a cellphone spy. I discuss a cellphone spy software that works with most of the popular smartphones (iPhone/blackberry/android/symbian/etc), has SMS, GPS, and call tracking, the ability to look at your spouse's phonebook, all done remotely.

In that article I recommend software that are a combination of cellphone spy 1 and 3. It's like cellphone spy 1 in the fact that it is cheap and allows you to read text messages (remotely) and it's like cellphone spy 3 because it has GPS Tracking, is undetectable and lets you view everything on the phone. I didn't bother looking for cellphone spy software that actually lets you "silent call" the phone to spy on the surrounding area, because I think that is way too overkill and do not intend on recommending something above $100. It's just too much, you don't need that IMO, if you do want one feel free to do your own research and share with us what you are using through the comment section below.

Spying on your cheating husband may get you trouble

Am I breaking the law when I spy on my cheating husband?

A lot of you who discovered or suspect that you have a cheating husband may end up the one being sued or in trouble for your actions. As I have said before, when trying to catch a cheating spouse, make sure you spend a good amount of time researching the tools necessary and the methods on how to catch your cheating spouse safely. If you are planning to just buy keyloggers, cellphone spies, hidden cameras, or hiring a private investigator without thorough research, you might just be setting yourself up for failure.

Some of the tools you can use to catch your cheating spouse :

1. Keyloggers - simple tools that you attach at the back of your PC, on the keyboard socket to be more specific. For more info on keyloggers, check the links found on this website, or click on this for help on setting up your own keylogger if you already purchased one. Link :How to catch your cheating husband - Keyloggers.

2. Cellphone Spies - One of the best tools in catching a cheating husband, these programs allow you to read text messages that are stored, or even those that were just deleted. The more expensive methods that allow you to spy on a cellphone are those that let you listen in on calls, and turn your husband's cellphone into a "bug" like you see in the movies. By turning it into a "bug" you can call the cellphone of your husband and it will allow you to hear whatever is in the immediate area of the phone. Totally undetectable if you have purchased a good product. For more info on cellphone spies, check the links found on this website.


If you've thought about purchasing, or have purchased any of these already, be warned. These gadgets, if not used properly, may get you sued. Contacting divorce lawyers before actually telling your cheating husband that you know about his affairs is the smartest thing you could do. Especially if you live in the US.

Purchasing these types of gadgets are not illegal at all, but how you use them might cause you trouble in court. In your defense, I know that it takes a lot to go thourgh something like this in a relationship and that your depression, anxiety, anger, or desperation may have caused you to buy these equipments to get the evidence you need to teach your cheating husband a lesson. All these negative feelings you have may have caused you to be ignorant to the laws governing the use of spy gear, surveillance gadgets, and the likes, so please research about that or consult divorce lawyers. In the US, there are laws governing the use of such equipment to intercept or electronically listen in to conversations or activities of individuals without their consent.

Even hiring private investigators may cause you trouble, this is why I highly recommend researching as much details as you can about the private investigator that you will hire. In most states in the US you, your private investigator, or even a friend of yours if you persuaded them to follow your cheating husband, could be held liable. The evidence you find on your husband by your own means should only be for you. An advantage in catching him red handed, because evidence gathered ilegally is useless in a court of law. Remember that when you pick a private investigator to hire, those who use illegal means to aquire evidence can be sued by your cheating husband, and you along with them.

Impersonation
This is another method most victims of cheating do that WILL backfire on you if you get caught. Pretending to be someone else inorder to get information from banks, phone companies, etc will get you in a lot of trouble in court. Your cheating mate could potentially sue you, or win over your case because of illegally aquired evidence.

What can I do legally to catch my cheating husband or wife?

It looks as if the cheaters always have the better of the deal, and it feels like you actually are in a losing battle, but really you don't need anything other than your knowledge of him, and the list found here on signs of a cheating spouse. This isn't enough for some, and I understand the need to validate your suspicions, but be very careful when using cellphone spy programs in catching a cheating spouse.

What can I legally do to monitor my spouse's activity?

1. Attach a GPS tracker on a car that you own. It is not illegal to do this, as long as you own the car.

2. If you own a cellphone and your husband or wife uses it, you can attach GPS tracking to your cellphone. It IS LEGAL to monitor that cellphone if YOU OWN IT.
