Do you think that your cell phone conversations and text messages are private? If you do, you’d better think again.

Your cell phone conversations can be ‘tapped’ easily by anyone who is willing to spend a few bucks on software that can turn your cell phone into a spying device. Anybody can buy this software and use it. After buying and installing software like FlexiSPY anybody could transform your phone into a spy tool that records all of your calls, texts, and even your location via GPS. If you have a cell phone your privacy is basically nonexistent. The list of features includes remote listening, taking control of the phone by SMS, text and email logging, call history, location tracking, call interception, and GPS tracking. This software can even do all of this even if the phone is turned off unless the battery has been removed.

The website says things like “catch cheating spouses”, “protect your kids”, and “bug meeting rooms”, but doing any of those things without permission is unlawful. It is a serious breach of privacy to bug somebodies cell phone without their knowledge and I wouldn’t encourage anybody to do that unless it’s absolutely necessary. This is powerful technology, and is a perfect example of how something could be used badly if it gets into the wrong hands. In this case, it can get into the hands of anyone willing to fork over some cash.

Software like FlexiSpy has been used many times to harass people and even ruin lives. Just look at the Kuykendall family’s troubles. Courtney Kuykendall’s cell phone first started sending text messages to her friends by itself, after that came harassing phone calls and death threats. The stalker could tell them what they were wearing, where they were, and what they were saying at any time of the day or night. The Kuykendall’s said it was like being in a horror movie, and the police couldn’t do anything about it or even figure out how it was possible. All this was made possible by software like FlexiSPY. I can only imagine what corrupt authorities and governments could do with this sort of tech.

What can you do to protect yourself from what happened to Courtney Kuykendall? First of all you should always set a password on your cell phone and do not share it with anyone. The software has to be installed on the phone being tracked so keeping people out of your cell phone is very important. Don’t leave your cell phone lying around or out of sight without a password. One of the few ways to make absolutely sure that nobody is listening to your conversations is to take out the battery. You can also buy anti-virus/anti-spyware software for your cell phone as well which will stop most cell phone spying software. You can find a good cellular anti-spyware software at S-Mobile.
