How to Track Cell Phone

Cell Phone Tracking Services

Many popular tracking software are available that can help you to trace a cell phone's whereabouts. All these apps have the basic GPS tracking, message tracker, call tracking, and website browsing tracker. Apart from these, there are other important features that help you in your cause. Here are five popular tracking apps/software.

My Mobile Watchdog (Free 7-day Trial)

◆ As the name suggests, it is a watchdog that will keep a watch on all the activities of a particular cell phone.

◆ You can monitor phone calls, text messages, and MMSes. You will receive instant notifications regarding your child's activities via email or text messages.

◆ If you are suspicious about a friend of your child, you can set alerts for that contact. Your child's contact list will be copied onto your master contact list. So, you can mark "Allow" or "Alert" and only then you will be authorized to make changes to this list.

◆ Internet can be a bane, if not used appropriately. You can block websites which you do not find appropriate enough for your child's usage. And if your child attempts to browse the blocked website, you will be notified about the same.

◆ Phones can be a distraction during study time. Now, you can set time blocks during which your child will be allowed to make only emergency calls and calls to some important numbers, like yours.

◆ One of the best features the software has is a tracker that alerts you whenever there are certain keywords included in a text message sent or received on the phone.

◆ Also, you can block the inbuilt apps, like social networking apps, instant messaging apps, gaming apps, etc. Only if the correct password is provided will the app unblock. My Mobile Watchdog claims their products are in use by the F.B.I. and Homeland Security services, which gives them quite a credibility boost.

Mobile Monitor (Free version is available)

◆ Apart from the regular call, messaging, email, images, audio, and video tracking, Mobile Monitor lets you track many other activities of the target phone.

◆ All it takes is a few minutes with the target phone to install the software onto it, and then connect to the receiving end dashboard via the Internet.

◆ If you are using an iOS, you will be familiar with the Viber feature which allows you to make free calls and messages. All the text messages, call data, and images that are shared can be logged.

◆ Skype is the most used app for video calling and can often be used for all the wrong reasons. All the text messages exchanged and calls made/received on Skype can be monitored.

◆ Even iMessage cannot escape the monitoring of Mobile Monitor. iOS users enjoy free messaging over 3G or Wi-Fi using this app. You can view all the messages that are sent/received using this app.

◆ In case of thefts, it is often the case that the SIM card is replaced by a new one. Now, you don't need a separate theft tracker device. This software will alert the monitoring device about SIM change, and you will also get information about the number of the new SIM card.

◆ In similar situations, you can rest assured that your private data has not been viewed by the thief. All this data is safe with you. In case you have forgotten the device, you can reset or restart the device by sending an SMS to it.
