Remote mobile hacking software allows you to monitor a cell phone without having to install the hacking program directly to the mobile device you wish to hack.

These type of programs allow you complete access to all the communications and events occurring with somebody's mobile device. Some of these programs even allow you to remotely control the target phone.

There are two distinct types of remote cell phone hacking software.

1. No Install Required: This type of program is 100% remote. Unlike the second type, you never need to get a hold of the target phone to install anything to it. The need to get a hold of the target device represents a huge roadblock for many people, including people in relationships that fear their significant other is cheating or parents who want to see what their son or daughter is up to by monitoring their mobile device.
2. Direct Install Required: This type of program does require that you get a hold of the target mobile device one time to install the hacking application to it. Although this is a somewhat more complicated route many opt for this type of remote cell phone hacking program for a variety of reasons. Once the smart phone monitoring application has been installed to the target device, which takes about 5 minutes, there is no need to have to access the target phone ever again. Although this type of monitoring software for mobile phones has more spy features it is generally much more expensive.

Remote phone spy scams: Unfortunately, there is a huge number of web sites out there advertising remote mobile tracking software programs. 99% of these websites are offering out dated and old software written in Java. The software was originally created for only a few select old versions of Nokia and Sony Ericsson cell phones yet these web sites claim that this program can work on any cell phone.

The key tip off that the remote phone monitoring software is no good is these web sites will claim spy features that are absolutely impossible with a fully remote spy program. These features include the ability to listen in on a cell phones conversations live. If the website of any remote spying application claims you can listen to live conversations it is strongly advised to steer clear. These web sites will also specify the program gets installed to your own cell phone. Steer clear.

A legit remote mobile spy is a software program you install to your laptop or desktop computer. Because the connection with a target mobile device is not direct but Bluetooth your spy features are limited to and include:

• Seeing the targets cell phone's phone calls.
• Seeing their text messages (SMS).
• Seeing e-mails the target mobile device sends and receives.
