That is ridiculous. Whatever happened to your parents just picking up the phone and listening? If you pick up while the person is talking, they’ll never notice. I do this to my mom’s boyfriend’s son all the time. Plus, is your child that bad that you need a bug to know what they’re doing in their life? Hello, it’s called parenting.

It’s not being marketed to parents, it’s being marketed as a kid’s toy.

I loved when I was outside, and my cordless phone picked up someone else’s convo. Me and my friends would listen in. It was usually a couple fighting. Haha.

The best part was in the section where it lets you add groups you think it would be great for I added “Terrorists”, in addition to the Home, School, Students, Teachers that they provide check boxes for. :lol:

I was thinking about getting a home phone because TW is offering this lock in deal or something. Maybe I’ll buy this bug and listen to who my boyfriend talks to.
Gosh this is evil.

If you are talking about digital phone, you dont even need this bug. You can just listen to the conversation using a computer on the network.

What ever happened to just holding a glass to the door, or listening at a heating vent?

Can’t hear the other person 🙂
It would be comparable to having phone sex but being the only one talking.
