Is My Cell Phone Bugged? “Everything you need to know to know to keep your mobile communications private.”
Book Update
Thank you for purchasing (or considering the purchase of), “Is My Cell Phone Bugged.” A SpyWarn™ Mobile Sensor is mentioned in the book as an aid to detecting spyware on your phone. Technology has advanced a bit since the book was written. The SpyWarn™ Mobile Sensor was designed before recent transmission types were invented. The SpyWarn™ Mobile Sensor is no longer effective and is replaced by a self-timing method, and an automatic Android app evaluation, SpyWarn 2.0.
Self-timing Spyware Detection Technique
• Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
• Turn off all apps. You don’t want legitimate app transmissions to be mistaken as spyware transmissions.
• Place your phone close to an AM radio, or other piece of electronic equipment with an amplifier. Listen for the noise the phone makes when it transmits.
Sample GSM transmission noise…
Sample CDMA2000 transmission noise.
• Keep track of the amount of time the phone transmits during a given period of time, as mentioned in the book.
This stopwatch will make your observation easier and more accurate.
Math Help
To change hours and minutes (hh:mm) to all minutes… hours x 60 + minutes = all minutes
This handy Time Calculator adds and subtracts hours and minutes.
If you have an Android phone, an app version of the test—SpyWarn 2.0™—automates the entire testing process for you. As a book buyer you may have the app free of charge. Purchase it from Google Play. Send in your receipt number and purchase date, and we will process a refund.
If you like the app, please write a positive review. If not, please tell us so we can improve it.
iPhones cannot be inspected with an app. Apple’s iOS does not allow it. Inspect iPhones use the timing method mentioned above, or simply reload the iOS software as that will wipe out any spyware.
Dumb cell phones can not hold spyware, cannot GPS track and do not have Bluetooth capabilities. The least expensive way to assure you will not be tracked, eavesdropped, or have your information stolen by spyware is to use a dumb cell phone.
