Cell Phone Spying Tools - Features - Options - Prices

There are a variety of reasons people want to be able to spy on somebody else using their mobile phone as a spy tool. Reasons for mobile phone spying applications include:

• to find out if your boyfriend or girlfriend or spouse is cheating on you
• to keep tabs on what your son or daughter is doing, where they go, who they are talking with
• to keep tabs on employees to make sure they are doing their job

There are several options when it comes to a mobile phone spying tool. The prices, plans, and features very widely. The purpose of this article is to make sure you choose the cell phones spying application most appropriate for your needs while paying the least amount of money necessary. If all you need a cell phone spy tool for is to keep tabs on calls incoming and outgoing from a specific cell phone then it certainly doesn't make much sense to spend $350 on Flexispies Pro-X plan when you could spend only $59 to get the information you need.

The basics of mobile phones spying and how they work

There are two types of mobile phones by tools available

1. hardware-based spy tools
2. software-based spy tools

Hardware based spy tools are most commonly devices about the size of a cigarette lighter in which you insert a cell phone's Sim card into and then plug the device into a USB port on a computer. Hardware-based spy tool will usually have a software program built into it. When you plug it into the computer that software program will load allowing you to view the contents which usually include text messages sent and received as well as phonebook access (list of contacts)

The main advantage of a hardware-based spy tool is it is actually a physical product you buy and pay for once. There are no monthly or membership fees involved. You can use the device to scan and read the contents of any Sim card from any phone.

The main disadvantages of a hardware based phone spy tool is the information you are able to view is quite limited especially when compared to its software-based counterpart and you can view the information lives were in real time.

If you are at all serious about effectively spying on somebody using their cell phone as the spy device hardware based spy tools are like trying to run a marathon in a wheelchair and your Joe from Family Guy. It will probably result in more frustration than information.

Software-based spy tools are much more feature rich, powerful, flexible, and depending upon which one you choose is also cheaper than the hardware based phone spy tool. without a doubt a software-based cell phone spying tool is a much better alternative.

Here is a list of the various cell phone spying programs along with their features and prices

• Flexispy - Flexispy is without a doubt the most feature-rich cell phone spying program there is. Flexispy is also the most expensive phone spying tool with their most basic plans starting at $149. Their most feature rich plan costs a whopping $349! These prices are for one year membership. The features Flexispy offers are not much different from a much less expensive phones by tools listed below with the exception of these two tools: [1] cell phone spy bug feature - this allows you to listen in on everything going on around the cell phone with Flexispy installed. The cell phone acts as a microphone or listening device. The person does not even have to be having a conversation with somebody for this feature to work. All that is required is the cell phone is on and within 20 or 30 feet of wherever conversation is going on. [2] remote call listening - this feature is incredibly powerful and amazing. With remote call listening when the person either makes or receives a phone call your cell phone is notified with a text message. You then dial that person's phone number and you are immediately tapped into that phone conversation. You can hear everything both parties are saying with neither one being able to hear or know that you are listening. Both these features (the cell phone spy bug - and remote call listening) are not the available on the cheaper $149 plan. So although these two phones by features are quite cool and useful they are a bit expensive. However if you desire either one or both of these special features, Flexispy is pretty much the only mobile phone spy company that offers it.   All of Flexispy plans allow you to (1) view every single incoming and outgoing call (2) view every single incoming and outgoing text message (3)  view all e-mails sent and received
• SpyBubble - If you're looking to spend the least amount of money possible with the most amount of features for your money then this cell phone spying tool is going to be your best bet.  Spy Bubble costs a one time payment of $59. This gives you a lifetime access and membership and allows you to spy on an unlimited number of cell phones. When you sign up with spy bubble you will be able to: (1) view every single phone call placed or received by the target cell phone (2) view every single text message sent or received (3) complete phonebook access (4) the ability to track in real time the physical location of the cell phone holder. You view the person's location by logging into your members area of SpyBubble and their location shows up as a little arrow moving around on a map as they move around.
• SpouseSpy - This one is very similar to spy bubble in terms of features. SpouseSpy   It is also a one time payment of $79. SpouseSpy, pricewise, is the middle-of-the-road between spybubble and flexispy. The $70 payment gives you one years access with no monthly or recovering fees and gives you the following cell phone spy tools: (1) view every single phone call placed or received by the target cell phone (2) view every single text message sent or received (3) complete phonebook access (4) the ability to track in real time the physical location of the cell phone holder. (5)  view all photos taken by the cell phone (6) view all videos captured with the cell phone (7) see all websites visited with the cell phone

These cellphone spying and reconnaissance tools are the absolute best ones available. My own personal recommendation is choose the least expensive one you need that has the options you need. Recapping:

• spy bubble is the least expensive at $59 with lifetime access
• spouse spy is the next one up at $79 for a year's access
• flexi spy is the most expensive one at either $149 for the basic plan, $249 for the pro-plan, and $349 for the Pro-X plan.

If you do not need Flexispies cell phone spy bug feature or their remote call listening feature then Flexispy will be total overkill price wise and either spy bubble or spouse spy will work fine for you and allow you to save a ton of money.
