Spy Software on Mobile Phones

I just noticed that there are large number of spy software easily available for almost all kind of mobile phones, blackberry, iPhone, windows, Symbian, Android or even old non-smart phones , with price range of $50 to less than $500 per year, depends on vendor and features.

Most of them offer different feature set for different flavors, so here is a summary of the common features I came across during my search:

- Remote live listening to surroundings
- Record surrounding conversation
- Call interception (with rules)
- Call recording
- GSM location tracking
- GPS tracking
- Email logging
- SMS logging
- Deleted SMS logging
- View/log photos, and videos
- Call history logging
- Control phone by SMS
- SIM change notification
- SMS notification for various activities on the phone such as turning it on or off
- Remote phone wipe

The spy software mostly offers web access with online reports.
Some are offering encrypted logs communication over GPRS/3G

installing the software require Data access (GPRS, or 3G), and also require physical access to the target phone for installation.

Detection of these tools might be possible by users if they pay attention to the following factors:
- High or unusual bill (data, SMS, or calls)
- Unusual battery drain
- Unusual flash light on some phones and some tools

Spy software's are great if you are into investigating someone. It is really helpful because you don't need to hire someone to spy on your target.
