How Does Cell Phone Spy Software Work?

The basic mechanism for all these spy software programs to work involves the following steps:

• the spy software is installed on the target phone / tablet• the spy software monitors the cell phones use and relays collected data and real time events to

company servers• the spy software owner has controlled access to this collected data and real time events via a web

based and/or phone network service

Legitimate Reasons For Cell Phone Spy Software

There are good and practical applications for such spy monitoring software to use in legal ways. For exampleyou can monitor young children to help keep them safe out of harms way. You could find out who they are communicating with or even where they are, with the tracking capabilities.

You can legally monitor and track company owned cell phones as long as the user knows the spy software is being used. This can be an effective way to track the location and activities of employees. You will know about any unauthorised use of the company phones.

Used in legal ways cell phone spy software can be very effective, save money and provide extra security for users.

Basic Requirements To Install Cell Phone Spy Software

Note that the spy software program must be physically installed on a compatible cell phone – you need to have physical cell phone access to the phone as the software cannot be done remotely.

The make and model of the cell phone to be monitored needs to be compatible – the best products have extensive lists and photos of the various makes and models which are suitable.

The phone must be internet connected even via Wifi – any data plan with most carriers worldwide will be fine, but it must be able to be connected to the Internet.

Pre-Conditions To Install Cell Phone Spy Software

You will find that for most all Cell Phone Spy Software to function as intended you will need to first make alterations to your phone. This is the case with Apple for example where to load any application (App) on an iPhone that is not available inside the Apple Store (their own online App software marketplace) requires that the iPhone will need to be Jailbroken.

On Android devices to be able to install and then obtain the full potential of any spy software features available in a typical spy software product you will need to have a Rooted phone or tablet. Fortunately

both of these things can be done for FREE and are pretty easy to do. But if you don't want to get a bit "techy"you may also pay to have it done. To find out about how to Jailbreak an iPhone and to Root an Android device follow the links in the right side links menu.

New Social Monitoring Features

With the latest mobile cell phone spy monitoring software available there is an increased list of supported social networks that may be monitored to reflect the fact that if you are monitoring young teenage people these are the kind of places they would hang out and be engaged in chat etc. Common networks include Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Skype, Viber & BBM.

Call Recording

Call recording is one of the most highly sought after features from any mobile monitoring technology. This facility is extremely useful for parents looking to find out their children’s mobile usage habits or business owners trying to minimise the misuse of company mobile phones.

Near Real Time GPS Tracking

The GPS location tracking feature can be extremely handy for the parents confused about where their children go when they are out of home. It has also been observed that many company workers spend time on personal causes, claiming to be busy on official work. Highster's spy & GPS tracking application is a surefiresolution to both these problems. This feature can also be useful while trying to find out the physical location of a lost or misplaced mobile cell phone.

Web browsing Tracking & Logging

URL & browser tracking are a common feature of such software which makes it a trusted choice for parents trying to figure out what websites are being accessed by their children from their phones. Business owners also use these programs to find out whether their employees are wasting time online during the working hours. With such monitoring and logging spy software you can see exactly what sites were visited and with all the necessary details pertaining to their Internet browsing history.

The installation takes a matter of minutes and full instructions are provided.

Once Highster is operational, features of the target phone can be monitored and controlled by the Highster Mobile central web based tracking and administration server. You have direct access to this with a personal account accessed via your secure web login.

This could be a command to start the camera or enable the microphone to listen in on the surrounding sounds.

As you can see all these features and an outstanding price make Highster Mobile an obvious choice, no wonder it is so popular! It will record every text message sent or received and store them with sender/receiver data on your personal account on the tracking and administration server.

where your employees are when needed. You could divert an employee to a job knowing they were nearer to the required destination because their location is displayed on a detailed Google Map.
