Cell phone tap ?

Edwards Finance > Phones

Q. I have been informed that with some of the very sophisticated test equipment that is avaible, once a users EIN has been obtained, the cell phone can be turned on without lighting up the dial and a audible signal thus allowing the unit to be used as a listen devise

A. I would be very interested to know which manufacturers and models of cell phones allow the transmitter to be turned on remotely. I can see VERY little use for that feature besides that which you have described... There are numerous Spy Listening Devices, which come in all shapes and sizes, and are very easy to purchase, due to the prevalance of spy shops. Depending upon the application, there are spying devices that will wiretap phone conversations or intercept room conversations. Spy Phone The Spy Phone is usually a cellular or mobile phone that has been converted for the purpose of eavesdropping on room conversations with and without the cell phone owner's knowledge. There are a number of brands of mobile phones that can be programmed for this purpose. What happens is that when a pre-programmed telephone number dials the cellular phone, it automatically answers without ringing and activates the cell phone's internal speaker-phone which thereby picks up any conversations in the area, while the spy phone's display appears as if it's in the normal standby mode. This type of Spy Phone is used as a "Leave Behind" device in industrial espionage as well as in domestic eavesdropping. A"left behind cell phone" is a favored spying technique. When a spy uses a left behind cell phone, which is also a "prepaid phone", it is almost impossible to determine who the owner is. A Cellular Infinity transmitter is another widely used name for the Cell Spy Phone... Cell Phone Tap Since a Cellular phone is wireless and a physical tap is impossible; a Cell phone tap usually refers to someone listening in to a cell phone conversation without the user's knowledge. This makes the term cellular phone tap, synonymous with cellular eavesdropping. To tap a cell phone requires very expensive computer equipment costing more than $100,000, which can track a call as it moves from cell to cell. Some professional bug detectors use a Bug Detector with Strength Meter to locate cell phones being used for eavesdropping.
