Internet connection and Service provider

Why does the target phone need Internet?

The monitored device requires the Internet access to send the data (the SMS logs, Call History, E-mail or Location information…) recorded by mSpy to your Control Panel for reviewing.

If you aren't capturing any data, the Target phone will still need some form of Internet to initially sync settings process and turn on the non-Internet features to use, such as Auto Answer. Aside from reporting the captured data, it will also need the Internet whenever you need to turn off unnecessary features or even if remove mSpy from target phone.

You will need Internet access on the Target to utilize all functions and keep a reliable reporting schedule.

iPhone will generally default to a WiFi connection whenever available. The WiFi connection would need to provide a TCP/IP connection to the Internet, and could then be used for everything the GPRS cell connection is normally used for, but only when the WiFi is available. You will also need the Internet connection on the target phone to download and install the app.

What if the target phone does not have internet connection?

If your Target is a GSM phone that takes a SIM card, you can always use a SIM card with Internet access (even a cheap prepaid SIM) just to get the software installed and setup, and then swap it out with the Target's own SIM card later. Without internet connection, all features will still work but mSpy will not be able to report any captured data (SMS, Call Logs, Email, Location) to your online account except for Auto Answer feature. All captured data will be saved in temporary files and wait for be sending when the target phone have internet connection.

Therefore, you should define an internet connection for target phone (GPRS/3G/Wifi) as soon as possible

Is the GPRS/Internet connection visible on the phone bill?

No.
The phone bill may reflect only an amount of GPRS data transferred or Time consumed; no indication of where the connection was made to or what applications used the Internet. That's why it makes mSpy impossible to detect.

Does mSpy support my phone service provider?

mSpy runs on all supported phones regardless of network, service provider, or location. You have full access to mSpy data whether the phone is across town or across the world. The only requirements are that the phone includes a supported operating system and has Internet access.

Can I install it using one SIM, but then give the phone to someone who uses another SIM? / Can I change SIM cards?

Yes. This is also a way to installed mSpy into target phone if the original SIM card does not provide Internet access. Although if the new SIM is from a different service provider then you may need to change the phone's internal connection/GPRS settings (Access Points) used for connecting to the Internet, or verify the new SIM provides another valid connection (WiFi).

If you intend to use those features which need internet to report data to your online account such as SMS, Call, GPS tracking… then you will still need Internet access available from the Target phone after the original SIM card is swapped back. If you only intend to use non-Internet functions such as Auto Answer feature then you may not need Internet available after the installation process finish.

We recommend you test the software after changing SIM cards between different networks.

View and download data

How do I see the SMS, Call Logs and Location tracking information?

All subscriptions include a feature-rich and very user-friendly Control Panel, accessible at Control Panel. After the installation and set up process is completed, the first logs of captured text messages, call details, contact, GPS locations and much more will be available as soon as in 30 minutes.

All activities on the phone are logged and available 24/7 in your secure mSpy account.

Some data in my account seem be lost. What happens

Privacy and security

Will mSpy show an icon or something on the iPhone?

Of course it does not. mSpy will be totally silent, in fact it will not appear on the installed packages from Cydia.

How can I tell if mSpy is on my phone?

No way.
Unlike our competitors, mSpy does not use any SMS commands appearing in the target phone's Message folder for getting the app working. The weight of the activity data, uploaded to the server, goes up to 100kb, thus being absolutely unnoticed by the target phone user on their phone bills. Regarding another important issue, the mSpy solution shows a proven record of minor battery power consumption so that the target phone works its normal hours. It means, there is no way to detect the mSpy app as it is fully programmed and managed online without noticeable interaction between the server and the phone.

Is my privacy protected?

We don't record, store, transmit or resell any personal information of our customers. Moreover, mSpy uses active security policies that ensure complete privacy by encrypting all confidential activity logs.
