Mobile phones as a spy

Not so long ago we could hear news about mobile overhearing. If your mobile is turned off or is broken it can be overheard. Now we know that this was a false statement. However, the telecommunication companies can obtain information about us by means of the cell information. For instance: where we are and when. The telecommunication companies keep and log the phone calling and SMS data.

The time of the conversation and the conversation itself is stored. However, the content of SMS is not. Where the data is stored is seriously guarded and not everyone can enter. During the SIM’s data they know when and where we were exactly. The telecommunication company has thousands of transmission towers. By means of triangulation towers, the determined place is capable of finding the position of the mobile phone. For this concept, there is a new business product. Companies can now pay for the information where are when their employees have been. Nowadays, telecommunication companies have to ensure they are reaching consumers data as the Government requires this for national security.

In the USA and England there is an automatic system with which they can listen to every conversation. If they hear such words as: bomb, terrorist attack. They will keep that persons conversations under observation for a month.

These days the Brado presented a new accessory which helps us in overhearing anyone. The only thing you need is a SIM card. This is the Spy Ear. We just have to charge it, then put the SIM card into it and hide it in the room. After that we just call the number of the SIM card, and we can hear talking by means of three microphones.
