The Truth About The Phone Spy Software

By Eppy Quinn


Nowadays, it's very difficult to live without cellular phones. These devices are becoming an essential part of contemporary life and thus, they carry important information, not just about our lives but also our current whereabouts.

Naturally, it's not unusual that a lot of individuals would wish to know the whereabouts of such phones for a myriad of motives. Whether or not they are for moms and dads to monitor the location of the children, for company owners of hauling services to monitor the transport trucks, or for managers to trace their personnel during business trips, the cell phone tracker is rising in popularity.

What is a phone monitor and how does it work?

Phone tracking is a method of determining the location of a certain handset by using various technical means, despite the phone being stationary or moving. A phone normally can be tracked by finding out the gap between the strength of the transmission it releases and the closest antenna with it.

There are four common solutions to monitor a cell phone: network-based, handset-based, sim-based and hybrid.

For the network-based to work, a person should acquire the cooperation of the network of the cellular phone to be able to setup a process, like cellular recognition, triangulation, as well as timing solutions. Think of two antennas communicating with one another while they determine where the signal from the cellular phone being searched is received from. Normally, individuals who get their own phones lost make use of this technique since a person would need to come up with a valid reason in requesting help from the network for locating the cellular phone. Imagine the privacy disasters if everyone who wishes to have a cell phone tracked were granted the ability to use this procedure.

The handset-based method requires the setting up of a cell phone monitor into the mobile phone that needs to be traced. These types of tracking software programs are usually available online. This method can be difficult for some, particularly if the owner of the cell phone doesn't prefer his device to be tracked. This is because firstly, the program should be set up on the cell phone. The software program then provides access to an online site that could show the current whereabouts of the mobile phone, and the incoming and outbound calls and text messages. For moms and dads, this may be a very helpful software for finding out if the children are safe.

The sim-based is pretty much self-explanatory. The SIM gives facts like cell ID, round trip time as well as transmission power to a network, which can now be traced. The only problem is that the SIM has to be inserted into the device whenever used otherwise, this beats the reason for being monitored.

Then the hybrid is usually a combination of the network-based and the handset based methods.

The common concern which phone monitoring needs to handle is privacy. In some countries like the States, their regulations about telecom privacy are mostly lax. European countries are very rigid. However, China actually encourages the tracking of their people.
