How to check whether a mobile phone is tapped or not. Self-checking a cell phone for wiretapping

Almost every day we are asked how to wiretap a cell phone. I want to emphasize once again that we offer ONLY programs for monitoring a mobile phone! Other methods of wiretapping, such as complexes, through an operator, viruses, etc. we do not offer, and we do not have such opportunities... Today we'll talk about how you can listen to any mobile phone in theory.

So, what types of wiretapping exist and can they be resisted?

Official, upon special request

Wiretapping method . The cellular operator, if required, is obliged to provide law enforcement agencies with the opportunity to wiretap, as well as provide access to the database (numbers, time, duration of incoming and outgoing calls, history short messages, IMEI code mobile device etc.). Naturally, a cellular operator will not provide such an opportunity to an ordinary person.

A way to avoid wiretapping. If you have good reason that you are being tapped in this way, do not use your previous phone number or the device itself. Either, as an option, use a special one, or use a crypto phone.

Unofficial, expensive

Wiretapping method . The method is that special equipment allows you to intercept a signal from a mobile device to base station mobile operator and vice versa. This option is not available to the average person due to high cost interception device, the price of which starts from $0.5 million.

In criminal circles, this technique is still in demand, despite its shortcomings: the signal capture radius from the phone is no more than several hundred meters and the existing probability of the operator changing the signal code. However, due to the fact that the method makes it possible to listen to conversations without the need to contact the “victim’s” mobile device or contact the telecom operator (as described above, this is impossible), it is actively used.

A way to avoid wiretapping. Apply protective equipment to such equipment. It works as follows: the equipment records the exchange of data from a mobile device with third-party equipment, after which pings are prohibited, after which it becomes difficult for attackers to intercept the conversation. A phone with change imei. But the most the best option this is to use .

Using listening programs

Wiretapping method . In order to wiretap in this way, the “victim” must have . The program will record all calls, messages, determine location and much more, then upload all the data to the server in your personal account. IN this method there are also disadvantages: the need physical access to the phone to install a “spy”.

A way to avoid wiretapping. Do not leave your phone unattended and do not allow others to install on it unknown programs. Use antivirus programs to search for malware.

Now you know what options there are for wiretapping and ways to avoid it. We would also like to add: so that you cannot be listened to during important conversation, do not use mobile devices for this, try to resolve issues in person :)

Modern phones are characterized by such wide functionality that some of them surpass computers in capabilities. When talking, a person usually does not think that the dialogue is accessible and audible to others. However, when transferring confidential information The question becomes relevant: is it safe to have a conversation on the phone and how to check for wiretapping.

How to listen to someone else's mobile phone: ways

There are many known methods of how to wiretap someone else's phone.

Official

The sphere of state intelligence services (FSB, police) receives access to other people's conversations by court decision. In our country, this method of wiretapping is carried out through technical system operational-search activities of SORM. In Russia operators mobile communications to obtain a license in mandatory install modules of this system on the PBX.

Network signal interception

This is done through the installation of special devices that capture the necessary communication line and transmit the signal to attackers. Having desired number, you can connect to cellular network, using vulnerabilities in the SS7 signaling protocol (Signaling System No. 7).

It is possible to penetrate SS7 by sending a special message Send Routing Info For SM (SRI4SM), including the desired phone number. Mobile network in response, it will send IMSI - the international identifier of the desired subscriber, as well as the address of the MSC switch that serves the person.

Next, the VLR is infiltrated into the database; the attacker updates the profile in the billing system, replacing the original address with a fake one. From this moment on, calls made by the subscriber are redirected to a pseudo-billing system and become available to persons wishing to track the conversation.

Another alarming fact is that connecting to SS7 provides access to subscribers different network anywhere in the world. It is also possible to intercept incoming messages and transfer balance by making a USSD request.

Using special applications

The malicious program must be installed on a smartphone; it can be used to wiretap, record conversations, transfer or store calls. Thanks to the installation of a spy Trojan, you can listen not only to phone conversations, but also to monitor the user’s communications in Skype, WhatsApp and other instant messengers.

This method is available to everyone; it does not require the powers of government intelligence services or a court decision. Trojans are a favorite surveillance tool. By installing these spy programs, husbands listen to their wives' conversations, entrepreneurs learn the secrets of competing companies, parents monitor their children, and so on.

Spyware Trojans are injected into the right smartphone under the guise of an update for the program, by installing it through hacking the Android or iTunes system, or by sending an email with a link to a fake application.

In addition to special Trojans, there are seemingly harmless applications that have functions to wiretap a mobile device.

The danger of such programs is that the victim installs them on her phone herself. This could be a game that is distributed through third-party application directories. Such programs contain the functions of wiretapping and recording conversations, including the Internet, the user gives the program access to transmit the received data. Therefore, when receiving unknown links, it is important to consider whether it is worth clicking on them.

"Bug" for remote listening

Special equipment for listening to a communication device, with the help of which data is transmitted to the receiver of interested parties.

Microphones are used as means of wiretapping. They are different types: stationary, connected and contact. They are installed in the room (office, study) in which the victim is located.

A stationary microphone can be a table top in a room where the desired person is constantly located, a wall, a window sill, or any flat surface. Piezocrystals are glued to it and thin wires are passed to the listening point. The microphone is mounted in an unexpected place (socket, baseboard, etc.). A contact microphone works by picking up an acoustic signal from an object that reflects sound (battery, wall, pipe). The range of such listening devices is limited by the length of the wires, but the quality of audibility is much better.

In such a situation, it is difficult to understand where such a bug is installed, since a common person doesn't know what he looks like. The size of such devices is often no larger than a ruble coin; they can be hidden even in the most unexpected places. If the device is skillfully disguised, the victim will not suspect that he is being monitored.

Some radio antennas for signal reception are installed at a distance of up to 500 meters from the desired subscriber. By pointing such a device towards the location of a person speaking on the phone, for example, from a car, the signal is intercepted. Connecting the antenna to a computer allows you to detect, listen to, and record the desired phone call.

The convenience of the radio antenna is that it does not need to be connected to to the desired device, at the end of the operation, the antenna is picked up and taken to the desired location.

The most popular methods of wiretapping a subscriber number in Russia are special programs and “bugs” that are accessible and easy to use. They can be easily purchased and linked to the desired number.

How to find out if your phone is tapped: signs

Temperature and battery level

If a mobile phone gets warm even when not in use, this often indicates a virus has interfered with the system. The phenomenon may indicate wiretapping of a communication device. In this case, you need to check installed programs, especially the latest updates.

Discharge of the battery in 1-2 hours also indicates that the mobile device is being tapped. If the battery is in good condition, but the device is quickly discharged, it is worth considering whether they can spy on and check the phone.

Call delay and connection disconnection

If the connection time increases sharply while waiting for a number to be dialed, this indicates that a listening device is probably connected to the number. The point is that the connection foreign networks interferes with a quick connection to the subscriber. A similar sign is an increased time of separation from the interlocutor or sudden shutdown connections.

Spontaneous activity

The phone “lives its own life”, dials numbers on its own, turns off, and turns on the screen backlight. If the system status is checked and there are no problems, this indicates a high probability of connectivity to the communications device. When wiretapping occurs, nothing new is displayed on the screen, but the rest of the time the phone experiences interference and glitches.

Reboots

Frequent random system reboots indicate a connection to a communication device. If the smartphone does this on its own, it could be due to listening software that is causing the program to malfunction.

SMS

Strange messages from unknown numbers come to those whose mobile is equipped with wiretapping. Such SMS contain nothing but incomprehensible symbols.

Reduced Internet speed and loss of traffic

In a situation where the downloading of materials from the Internet slows down sharply, and no serious reasons(for example, traffic distribution, simultaneous downloading) no, this may indicate the presence of wiretapping on the phone. A similar sign is fast consumption Internet traffic at normal use mobile device.

Acoustic noise

Unusual acoustic noises and interference indicate the presence of listening software on a smartphone:

  • noise when talking on the phone near speakers, radio and other audio equipment, at rest;
  • extraneous sounds and interference when communicating with your interlocutor;
  • echo from the words of both subscribers during a conversation;
  • “silence” of the interlocutor during a conversation.

New operator

When connecting a wiretapping program, your mobile operator may suddenly change. Unexpected write-offs may occur large sum funds from mobile account. The native mobile operator will not be aware of the operation. Along with the debited finances, information about calls and SMS messages is sent to the connected program.

The listed signs do not guarantee that a listening program is installed on the phone. Whenever similar problems It is worth diagnosing the device to identify possible problems. If several signs immediately attract attention by their appearance, it is worth thinking about whether the information transmitted over the phone is confidential.

How to identify and remove wiretapping

Every phone is open to eavesdropping, even if it is in rest mode, not ringing, since ill-wishers forcefully turn on the microphone. Such intervention allows you to know all conversations taking place near the device without exception. This method can also be used to listen to home cordless phones DECT standard.

Codes and combinations

You can check whether your mobile device is wiretapped using special combinations numbers To activate the codes below, dial the number itself and press “Call”.

For smartphone (Android)

  • *#43#B- the command allows you to display information about call waiting.
  • *777#B(code for Ukraine) - displays the menu of the cellular operator, regardless of which one the subscriber uses, and information about the current balance also appears.
  • *#06#B- helps to get unique code IMEI. The command works on all smartphones, regardless of model, functionality and other parameters. An identification number Protects your device if it is stolen or lost. With its help, you can remotely lock your phone to prevent attackers from using it even when changing the SIM card.
  • *#21#B- the team helps to find out whether information about received and sent SMS and calls made is forwarded to third parties. The code determines whether call forwarding is enabled on the smartphone.
  • *#33#B- in case of blocking important services information about this innovation is presented on the smartphone (SMS, calls, etc.). Considering that blocking can occur without the knowledge of the phone owner, the combination is used if outside interference is suspected. Shows information about the services that are supported by the mobile device and which of them are currently emanating from the device.
  • *#62#B- identifies the number to which the forwarding is attached. The code determines the point where the wiretapping of a mobile device is sent, and to which number incoming calls are forwarded. The combination works if the device is out of range or disabled.
  • ##002#B- disables call forwarding if it is running on a mobile device, so that only the owner of the device can receive calls.
  • *#30#B- gives a chance to identify the number when calling from “unknown” subscribers.

For iPhone (iPhone)

Apple manufacturers have secret codes, making it possible to check whether there are signs of eavesdropping on the iPhone. Combinations are suitable for iPhone models 6s, 7 Plus, 5s and others. If you use them to check your mobile device in time, you can tell whether your phone is wiretapped or not and avoid trouble.

  • #31#B- hide own number iPhone. After performing the manipulation, the subscriber can easily make mobile number not definable. When calling other numbers, it will be designated as “unknown”.
  • *3001#12345#*В- finds out information about the SIM card, the signal strength of the cellular network, and also gives indicators of signal reception. Data is updated promptly. To visually check the signal level, turn on the “Test mode in field conditions” or “Field Test Mode” and dial specified number. Next they call and press the power button. After turning off the screen, press the button in the middle and wait for it to return to home screen. The signal strength will be indicated by the number that replaces the battery charge sticks. If the signal strength is above -40 - the signal is excellent, from -80 to -40 - good, between -80 and -140 - bad, even lower - no signal.
  • *#5005*7672#B- determine the place where messages are received. Each new message initially reaches the SMS center, for which a special identification number is used.
  • #43#B- block calls in idle mode.
  • *#06#B- find out the unique IMEI code of any smartphone, including iPhone. By using given number you can calculate whether the device is tied to any operator, as well as obtain information about the firmware.
  • *#67#B- identify the number to which calls are forwarded.
  • *#21#B- shows the availability of call forwarding, SMS messages and other information from cell phone.
  • ##002# - disable call forwarding.

These combinations will help protect the subscriber from popular method listen to mobile from outside - program intervention into the phone system. From complicated ways(wiretapping by special services, with the help of “bugs” and other things) they will not be able to protect.

Programs

The best programs for checking the fact of wiretapping are SpyWarn, Darshak and EAGLE Security. The first two programs can be downloaded for free via the Internet on the official website, EAGLE Security is available on Play Market. With the help of these applications, real stations are sorted from fake ones, which helps to identify surveillance.

It is possible to delete the application, with the help of which calls and SMS became available to third parties, independently. To do this, install on your phone reliable antivirus. Quality programs protect the device from malware, instill confidence that Trojans will be identified and their installation prevented.

It will be useful to remove suspicious applications. In the battery consumption statistics, you can find programs that are constantly running and consume battery faster than others. Next, check reviews for them on the Internet; if there are enough complaints about the programs, get rid of the applications.

You can also remove wiretapping on Android, for which the Trojan is responsible, by returning to factory settings. Before doing this, it is important to save the necessary files.

So that the number continues to be protected from outside interference, for Samsung, Xiaomi, Nokia and other smartphones, the AppNotifier application is installed. The utility sends notifications to email subscriber, notifying about programs that are downloaded to the smartphone. When a potentially dangerous operation is performed, the application alerts and displays the malicious program.

Telecom operators

To get rid of mobile phone wiretapping, you should call your mobile operator (MTS, Megafon, etc.). Specialized equipment in cellular companies allows you to analyze the state of communication lines and reliably determine whether the device is being tapped or not. When detected, the operator takes the direction of the connected intruder.

Operator testing is more reliable than diagnostics using combinations, which sometimes produce erroneous data.

Service center

A reliable method of detecting wiretapping is to contact service center. There they will analyze programs on the mobile and identify exploits that transmit data to third party devices. Having confirmed that the wiretapping is in place, employees determine how it functions and then remove or block the source.

People who value confidentiality of conversations have logical question, which phones are not tapped and whether it is possible to find a model that protects conversations from prying ears. Special devices have been developed that give high level security. They are intended exclusively for calls. It is important to consider that such devices are phones and it is impossible to access the Internet from them.

In Russia, the Atlas scientific and technical center has developed special models phones that can protect the confidentiality of conversations. Such mobile devices cannot be purchased in a traditional communication store. They are made to order within 4 months and only upon order from corporations.

Members of the Presidential Administration, State Duma and other government services have already purchased similar devices. The cost of one such phone is 90,000 rubles. Along with the purchase of the device, you also pay special service to protect confidential communications, with which you can be sure that conversations from the phone are not listened to and SMS are not read.

Life modern man it is no longer possible to imagine without mobile gadgets. They simplify our life and make it more comfortable. But attackers often take advantage of this, so today we’ll talk about how to find out if a mobile phone is tapped. Let's look at the main signs that indicate the presence of wiretapping.

First of all, people whose profession is related to confidential data, as well as overly jealous spouses, are at risk. You can understand that information is leaked to third parties over the phone after you are aware classified information There are people who are not privy to these secrets. There are also technical features, allowing you to suspect and find out that the device is being tapped.

  • Extraneous sounds, echo during a call. If you regularly hear extraneous sounds when making a call, this is a clear cause for concern. There may be noise, clicks, gurgles, hums, pops, etc. Check these extraneous noise possible using a sound sensor installed on low frequency. When the needle goes off scale with regularity several times per minute, this is an alarm signal.
  • The mobile phone is not working correctly. You should always pay attention to the stability of the phone. If it reboots on its own, the battery power drops too quickly for no particular reason - maybe the device is being tapped. Another sign is that the battery is getting very hot. This happens because the eavesdropping equipment uses the battery in the background.


There are many indicators that indicate that third parties are interested in your telephone conversations. Regardless of the brand of gadget, there are always loopholes for wiretapping. If in doubt, you should pay attention to the following signs:

  • The call connection takes a long time to establish;
  • The device turns off slowly;
  • The device turns on spontaneously, deactivates and begins installing the software.

How to find out if a cell phone is currently being tapped?

A simple homemade remedy can help in such a situation. Appliances. You should approach the TV during a call if there is interference from foreign electronic equipment - this is wiretapping. There are devices that are close to the FM range and can produce a piercing sound when the radio is set to mono mode. This also applies to turning on the TV in UHF frequency mode.

Operator services

Be sure to pay attention to all messages coming to your phone. Suspicious SMS messages usually contain strange combinations of letters, numbers, and symbols. They come with unknown numbers. This is the distribution of commands sent by listening programs. Sometimes scammers take advantage mobile internet for implementation so that payment bills increase. If you have not activated the “Conference Call” option from your provider, but it activates itself all the time, this is also a symptom of wiretapping.

We use specialized equipment

Special devices have long been developed that immediately detect all eavesdropping attempts. They are connected to a mobile phone and measure resistance levels, capacitance, signal changes by very high frequencies. In order to find out whether a smartphone is being tapped, you should connect such a device to your gadget and look at the difference in performance.

Verification code

There are several combinations that can help. For example, dial *33* on your phone and enter any further characters. If you can’t enter a symbol after the second asterisk, then the gadget is tapped. Some professionals consider this option ineffective, so it is worth using others.


*#21# – this code determines whether call forwarding is activated on your device, that is, whether your calls and SMS can be transmitted to third parties.

*#62# – you will find out to which number the forwarding is set, where the wiretapping is directed, it will work if the device is turned off or out of the access zone.


##002# – deactivates any redirection.

Let's use apps

Developers mobile software have long released worthy products that can help you find out. Most popular programs:

  • – paid, but many users find it effective;

  • Darshak – free application, which will not only detect any suspicious activity, but also evaluate the security capabilities of the cellular operator;
  • – distributed free of charge, version in Russian. It has good rating on Google Play.


Provider help

If you suspect that your smartphone is being tapped, you can contact your operator. The specialists there have everything you need technical means, allowing you to analyze the state of the line. Based on the results of this procedure, it is easy to identify the fact of wiretapping. If necessary, you can then install software so that third parties can no longer “listen” to you.

How can a device be tapped?

There are several ways that allow you to “follow” you on your smartphone:

  • official - intelligence agencies request access to telephone conversations subscriber;
  • the signal is intercepted - with the help of equipment, fraudsters intercept the signal and receive all the necessary information;
  • malware is installed - the gadget begins to record all conversations on a flash drive, send them to another phone, etc.;
  • installation of listening devices - “bugs” send a signal to the scammers’ equipment.

It's better not to transfer to telephone conversations important and confidential information about your bank cards, passwords, information about large payments. It is worth providing such data during personal meetings.

Now you can answer the question of how to find out whether a user’s mobile phone is tapped. So, if necessary, you can use one of the proposed methods. Subscribe to blog updates so as not to miss the most relevant and useful information.

Information is the most valuable currency today, so it is only logical that everyone dreams of owning it. However, information is different and can be obtained in different ways. Unfortunately, the possibilities modern technologies in the field of surveillance make many forget about the moral and legal side of espionage. And, truly, in a world in which surveillance has become so simple and easily accessible, it’s hard to resist asking the question: how can I listen to the iPhone (or any other smartphone) of my, say, child, husband or business partner. Well, you ask, we answer, and what to do with this information, you decide for yourself.

There are actually many ways to listen to a smartphone, for example, an iPhone, but they can be roughly classified into only two groups:

  • Spyware
  • Phone bugs

Let's take a closer look at both groups.

Spy program

Many companies offer programs of this kind today - for example, one of them called OpenGSM is the first in the search results and search engine Yandex, and Google when asking “How can you listen to any iPhone.”

This company has a lot of services related to surveillance in one way or another, one of them is organizing smartphone surveillance using special programs. There are basic and Pro versions of the programs, with moderate and exorbitant prices - of course, than more information, the more expensive - you can, for example, only monitor calls and SMS, but you can also monitor photos taken, correspondence in instant messengers, etc.

Okay, very attractive, but... See what it takes to organize surveillance! Create a personal account on a special website provided by the company. Okay, they did it in no time. Further. Install spyware on the smartphone of the person you plan to spy on and perform the proper settings. Wow! Already more complicated condition! Well, let’s say the same is done - the husband (for example, we are planning to spy on him) went into the shower, and we quickly installed what we needed. But here is the third condition, which really hits home: the device on which the program is installed must be jailbroken, that is, iOS must be jailbroken! And now this is a real problem!

Firstly, not all users know what kind of procedure this is. Let's briefly explain - iOS, as you know, operating system closed, and therefore there are a lot of restrictions on it. Jailbreak removes some of them, opening access to file system, after which, for example, you can change themes, install applications not from App Store etc. Needless to say, Apple does not officially support this procedure, and if the user performs it, he will automatically lose his warranty.

Secondly, not everyone who knows what jailbreaking is knows how to properly perform this operation, and, indeed, it is not easy. And the main difficulty, by the way, is to find non-crappy firmware for jailbreaking.

And thirdly, this procedure requires a considerable amount of time - that is, it cannot be done while the potential target of surveillance has briefly left the room. And no one gives a guarantee of success - you got a crooked firmware and that's it - in your hands is not a jailbroken device, but a very beautiful, but completely useless brick.

We agree, you don’t have to get involved in this matter yourself - you can trust the craftsmen. But, in this case, an even larger time resource is required - take the smartphone, deliver it to a professional, wait until the procedure is completed and return it back. Also, if the target of surveillance is technically savvy, he will quickly find out that his device has been jailbroken.

However, the guys from OpenGSM also offer a method that does not require jailbreaking, but wait, rejoice... it’s even more interesting! OpenGSM offers user tracking via iCloud, and do you know what this requires? Sheer “nonsense” - find out account the user who is planned to be monitored - in short, his Apple ID! And what’s outrageous about this requirement is not so much the difficulty of fulfilling it, but also the fact that if we know the login parameters for iCloud, we ourselves, without third-party companies, can log into it through a special website and monitor as much as we like, completely free of charge. However, OpenGSM services are probably designed for ignorant users who do not know what iCloud is and how to use it.

And do you know how much these guys ask for something that each of us can easily do on our own? 450 euros per year, that is, approximately 2,500 rubles per month at the current exchange rate! Not bad for nothing, right? Okay, no charge, the data will be carefully collected for you in a special personal account. On the other hand, in iCloud, all information is also divided into folders - “Contacts”, “Photos”, etc. so why systematize it elsewhere?

By the way, needless to say, if the user you are following decides to disable the “ Backup"on the iPhone, the surveillance will end there. And yet, it is, of course, impossible to listen to calls while being monitored using the “cloud”; you can only get acquainted with all incoming and outgoing calls.

In general, as you can see, spyware is very difficult to install, and surveillance via iCloud is just an attempt to extract money from a person for something that he can do very well himself. And this is, to put it mildly, a dishonest act by a company that, if you analyze the online telephone surveillance market, seems to be the most proven and reliable. So the conclusion about such organizations suggests itself.

And yet, surveillance software has its advantages - it cannot be detected either by an antivirus or special equipment, which cannot be said about...

Bugs

...telephone bugs. This is, let’s say, not software, but hardware user control. The bug is built into the iPhone itself and, of course, this procedure is very complicated. IN modern flagships all the parts are compacted so that, as they say, there is nowhere for the chicken to peck in order to achieve maximum performance with the thinnest possible body. Therefore, one problem is to find a place for the bug, the second is to place it so that its signal does not interfere with the work of other components.

At the same time, it is simply impossible to find a specialist in installing bugs on the Internet (we tried), and therefore if you want to use this surveillance method, you will have to look for a specialist through friends. And even if you find it, there is another problem - how to take away the smartphone from the target of surveillance while the bug is being installed.

Another opportunity

In general, installing hardware and program control on a user’s smartphone is not an easy task, and we have the impression that it is much easier, if you really want to keep track of a person, to use not a telephone bug, but, let’s say, a general-purpose bug - insert it, for example, into a beautiful personalized pen and give it as a gift or sew into the lining of the briefcase with which the “object” goes to work.

How do I know if I'm being followed?

We said above that spyware cannot be detected either by an antivirus or special equipment, but an attentive user will always notice its installation. What signs should you look out for?

Firstly, spyware quite active, and therefore the battery charge will drain faster. Moreover, the charge will be wasted even when you are not using the phone. Another sign is the heating of the smartphone, again, when it is not in use. However, the above two signs may also indicate that it is time for you to change the battery. But, if a third sign appears, which we will call - various oddities - then it’s already a matter of battery. What weird things are we talking about? Well, for example, about a display that lights up for no reason, a browser that “opens without permission,” etc.

But an installed bug is both more difficult and easier to detect at the same time. It can be easily caught with special equipment, but it is unlikely that you have it.

Let's summarize

So, as you can see, listening to an iPhone is difficult, but possible. However, remember that this is not entirely moral and completely illegal. So before you organize surveillance on a colleague, friend, husband or child, think twice!

There are times when a person has doubts whether his phone is being tapped. In such cases, not everyone has any idea how to find out the truth. There are several ways to find out whether your phone is wiretapped or not.

Signs that your phone is being tapped

Sound quality during calls

  • In order to determine whether your phone is tapped or not, you should carefully listen to extraneous sounds while talking on the phone. As a rule, they are the ones who can issue wiretapping. But don’t panic ahead of time, because extraneous noise may turn out to be simple interference from communication services.
  • You can also use a special sensor that checks for excess background noise. By looking at the arrow on the device, you can determine whether the phone is being tapped during a conversation or not.

Handy electrical appliances to help

Pay attention to the simultaneous functioning of your phone and nearby electrical appliances such as TV or radio. If wiretapping is really present, then the signal from the devices will noticeably deteriorate.



Extraneous sounds on an unused phone

Often, phones that are being monitored emit various sounds. sound signals and vibration even when a person is not using it. It depends on the software previously installed on a landline or mobile phone. If you pay attention to your phone, you can easily notice changes in its operation.



How to check a mobile phone for wiretapping

  • Battery. A phone that is tapped operates around the clock, but its owner does not even know about it. Pay attention to the temperature of the battery in your phone, it will get very hot. You can also notice how often you charge your phone. Check if there are programs on your phone that can quickly drain the charger mobile phone.
  • Shut down the phone. Pay attention to how long it takes you to completely turn off your mobile device. If the process begins to take longer than usual, this may also indicate that the phone is being tapped.
  • SMS messages. Be more attentive to SMS messages received from unknown recipients. Even simply opening a message can activate the installation of eavesdropping on a mobile phone.
  • Fixing expenses. Calculate whether costs have increased cellular communication? Frequently used programs for tapping mobile phones charge a fee for using the service. Record your cell phone balance daily to notice changes.



Recognizing wiretapping on a landline phone

  • Appearance. Inspect carefully appearance landline phone, whether it was opened before. If you notice that the phone has been opened, then you will have to open it and take out the bug.
  • Doubtful persons. Start paying attention to the people around you, whether dubious cars have appeared near your home, whether uninvited guests are coming to you under the guise of plumbers and other home maintenance workers.
