How to Record SMS Text Messages & Call Info

Mobile Spy defines the latest in high-tech cell phone surveillance. This revolutionary software allows individuals to easily install monitoring software directly onto a compatible smartphone that you own or have the proper consent to monitor. Once the software is installed onto the phone to be monitored, it silently logs activity such as SMS messages and call information along with recording GPS locations every 30 minutes when a GPS signal is available.

There's no need to worry about being near the phone to view the activity after installation because activities are uploaded to a private account viewable using ANY web browser, even a Mac or phone web browser. Here's a diagram to help you visualize how this process works.

This new technology might sound complicated but the process is actually quite easy using our online User Guide and other documentation. Below you will find a summarized version of how the entire process works. Remember, Mobile Spy works on many platforms including BlackBerry and iPhone!
