I know it is possable and it looks to be legal in NY state with at least one of the parties consent from the research i have done. What i want to know first is if i am correct. Second does any one have any experience with using any of the software to do so. Third is there a way to find out if a specific phone is tapped. Forth where would the record most likley be ex. on the comp. harddrive or on the other cell phone its self. Fifth any where i can print the laws out from a respectable source on the matter at hand. Also the suspected cell phone is verizion based and is an LG with no sim card. Thanks in advance ---

You would need to physically install software on the phone. Once its installed, it works great. There is no way to just tap or listen in on a random phone without actually having access to it even tho the encryption between cell networks and their towers is pretty weak. ---

> [@LZ](#): > > You realize the legal issues around this? > > You need to install the software on the phone. yes i do it has already been done to her phone thats why i asked for a printable version of the law pertaning to this situation. I just want to know how these things work so i can determine when this would have been initiated and how long it has been going on. I do not want to actually tap anyones phone. ---

> [@Oasis24-7](#): > > i heard there is software out there that will just download on the computer no need to actually get the physical phone No. You need something on the phone. I have set this up for a few customers of mine looking to monitor some of their employees and spouses with GPS and call recording. Let me know if you want some more info about the software. As for legal issues, as long as its your phone and account, its legal. If its her own phone and you steal it, it falls under a lot of laws and would require a warrant. ---

It requires a blue tooth connection and one that provides file system access to the phone. If the person clears their logs and messages, you got nothing. The phone you want you still need physical access to connect the bluetooth connection to. There is no way to randomly get all the recorded calls on the persons phone by connecting via bluetooth. Think of the huge security issue that would come up if I can just connect to your phone and see your history. ---

> [@Fry](#): > > :lol: @ this > > Have fun getting your mom’s business into deep legal shit. “But the internet said so!” Ya this is one topic that needs to be evaluated on a per situation basis. There is no end all be all law covering this and its different in a bunch of different states. Reading one site for laws and going off that will get someone sued esp if its not company property. If it is company property, you have a lot more rights. We setup monitoring and call recording for companies all the time and most of the people have no idea. Details needed for a proper answer.
