The Facts Regarding The Phone Tracking Software

By Eppy Quinn


Nowadays, it is very difficult to live without mobile phones. These devices are becoming a significant element of human living and therefore, they hold important info, not just about our everyday life but also our recent location.

Naturally, it isn't unusual that a lot of individuals would want to be aware of the whereabouts of such phones for a myriad of reasons. Whether or not they are for parents to track the location of the children, for business owners of trucking services to monitor the delivery vans, or for managers to trace their personnel in a business trip, the cell phone tracking software is growing in demand.

What exactly is a mobile phone tracking software and how do you use it?

Mobile phone spying is a method of determining the whereabouts of a particular phone with various electronic ways, regardless of the mobile phone being stationary or mobile. A cellular phone usually can be traced by determining the distance between the strength of the signal it releases and the closest tower to it.

There are four common solutions to keep track of a mobile phone: network-based, handset-based, sim-based and hybrid.

For the network-based to work, an individual should have the assistance of the network of the cellular phone in order to setup a process, such as mobile identification, triangulation, as well as timing solutions. Think of 2 towers communicating with each other as they identify where the signal from the cell phone being searched is received from. Normally, those who have their own phones stolen use this method since a person would have to think of a strong reason in asking the aid of the network for finding the phone. Just think of the privacy horrors if everyone who wishes to have a cell phone traced were given the opportunity to make use of this method.

The handset-based solution requires the setting up of a cellular phone monitor into the mobile phone that must be monitored. These types of trackers are usually obtainable online. This approach may be tricky for many people, especially if the owner of the cell phone does not prefer his handset to get monitored. That's because firstly, the software needs to be set up on the cell phone. The software then will give you accessibility to an online site that will display the actual whereabouts of the phone, and the incoming and outgoing phone calls and SMS messages. For parents, this may be a very useful tool for determining whether or not the children are in a safe place.

The sim-based is pretty much self-explanatory. The SIM gives details such as cell phone identification, round trip time and transmission strength to a network, which can now be traced. The only problem is that the SIM card must be put into the phone whenever used otherwise, it defeats the reason for being monitored.

Lastly, the hybrid is often a combination of the network-based and the handset based solutions.

The most common issue that cell phone spying has to deal with is that of privacy. In some places such as the United States of America, their legislations about telecommunication privacy are generally lax. European countries are very strict. Nonetheless, China actually encourages the monitoring of their own people.
