Even though it is considered an invasion of privacy and no one of us would want to be the victim, I am sure that we have all confronted ourselves with the situation where we wanted to know what is going on inside the cell phone of our girlfriend / boyfriend / wife / husband / brother / system / daughter / son etc. Cell phone spy is one domain where we would like to know more about. As “James Bond” as this whole situation may sound, cell phone spy is not something only the CIA or FBI can do.
If you are interesting in finding some deep and dark secrets of someone close to you, all you have to do is to rely on the cell phone spy software which is available for online purchase. An example of such software is the Spy Phone Gold which is believed to be the number 1 cell phone spy software on the market. It is easy to install and configure and right from the moment that you make your online purchase, this software is available for download onto the phone which is targeted for spying. Just like in the case of the key logger, the spy software will record any activity performed with that device and send it to the Spy phone servers.
Using you computer, you can log into your account and view the logs at any time. You shall get information about the sent and received text messages, the call history and GPS locations, along with other useful pieces of information. Not only that, but you can listen live to the call of the target cell phone. Call interception is completely undetectable. Once the target is engaged in a telephone conversation, you will receive an SMS on your phone and you can call the “victim’s” phone and listen to the conversation.
If Spy Phone Gold is the best reference in term of cell phone spying software, the Mobile Spy is certainly number 2 on the list. It comes with almost all the features of the Spy Phone Gold. Both of these programs are capable of recording call history, recording incoming and outgoing text messages, tracking the phone thanks to a GPS and even recording phone contacts, calendar events and web browser activities. Compared to Spy Phone Gold, Mobile Spy cannot report any SIM changes and you cannot listen to live calls or even record calls in general.
However, none of these pieces of software are in any risk of being detected so, as long as you pay, you can spy on people for as long as you like. Since these 2 applications are a bit different in terms of features, they also come with different price tags. For instance, Spy Phone Gold is going to cost you $307 if you plan on using it for 3 months but if you want to spy on a cell phone for a longer period of time, the 6 months version is going to cost $389 while the 12 months versions costs $499. Mobile Spy is way cheaper as the 3 months version costs $49 while the 12 months version is $99.

Cloning a cell phone is actually a bit easier than a person may thing. But not only is it easy, it is also illegal.
Cloning a cell phone basically means that you are copying the identity of one cell phone and transferring it to another. Once this process is complete, the second phone can be used to make illegal phone calls and all the expenses have to be covered to the legitimate subscriber. In other word, if a person manages to clone you cell phone, they can make calls from your phone number and, in the end, you are the one stuck with the bill.
Cloning mobiles phones was very popular in those areas where large number if immigrant where registered as these people found it very expensive to make legal calls back home so they have come up with this illegal method of speaking to friends and family for free. The Motorola “bag” phones were the first ones ever used for cell phone cloning. In order to complete the process, one has to replace or modify the EPROM inside the phone and put it a new chip that basically allows you to configure an electronic serial number with the help of specialized software. For people which are not familiar with these terms, it may seem like a difficult process. The truth is that it is very easy to get your cell phone cloned and this is why you must take good care of your mobile or you may risk ending up with a huge telephone bill.
There is one thing we are not sure of: if you decide to clone your own cell phone yourself so you can have 2 mobile phones that come with only bill, is that a fraud as well? Because it is basically like handing the cell phone yourself to another person so that they can make calls as well. If you go online, you shall find a lot of different websites that give you a certain code which varies according to your cell phone model and manufacturer, and using that code, you can access a secret menu. After you have entered that code, it is time to search for your electronic serial number (ESN) which is unique for every particular cell phone.
Once you have discovered this number, it is time to write it down together with your area code and your phone number. You have to repeat this very same process on the cell phone that doesn’t have service. Once you have entered that secret menu, you have to input the serial number of the other phone, the one that does have service. The next step requires that you find your code in order to change your number and after that you must change the number of the serviced phone.
This is all there is to it if you want have 2 cell phones which are perfectly functional. If you want the cloned phone to return to normal at some point, you have to remember to write down its original ESN number before you erase it because you must enter it again if you want the phone to go back to normal.

Offering a decent sound quality, the Pearl RCA mp3 player will prove to be one of the best solutions for people that are looking to buy a budget mp3 player that comes from a trusty manufacturer. One very odd thing that we have noticed about this mp3 player is that it comes in 3 different colors but each of them in available for one specific capacity. For example, the 512 MB Pearl RCA mp3 player is available in a light gray colors, the 1 GB version of the player is midnight blue while the 2 GB version is black.
In terms of design, we cannot say that this player is ugly. It simply doesn’t come with anything which can be considered visually appealing. The dimensions of this player are 3 x 1 x 0.8 inches, making it just the right size to fit into any tight pocket. The Pearl RCA mp3 player apparently needs only one AAA battery which is bound to keep the player on for about 15 hours.

As much as we would love it if it were true,
free cell phones cannot exactly be considered “free”. You see, when you buy a cell phone and not pay anything for it, it actually requires that you sign a contract with a phone service provider. Every such provider has a list of
free cell phones which they are willing to give out if the buyer agrees to sign a contract and pay for the monthly services that he is using. It is like buying a cell phone with monthly payments.
For example, if you sign a 2 year contract with the Sprint Cell Phone service provider, you can get the Samsung Reclaim SPH-M560 absolutely free of charge. This cell phone measures 3.9 x 2.37 x 0.59 inches in dimensions and 3.5 ounces in weight. It feels very comfortable in your hands and even if it isn’t the best looking Samsung cell phone model, it is certainly very easy to use as it comes with a full QWERTY keyboard that is revealed when you slide the phone up. The 2.6 inch display of the Samsung Reclaim is capable of supporting 262,000 colors and it comes with a 320 x 240 pixels resolution. the images are bright and while colors are not extraordinary, they are decent and pleasant to look at, capable of rendering good pictures.
Right below the display, Samsung has decided to place the talk and end keys, plus a big round button which is four way pad that has the OK button located in the middle. You will also find the speakerphone button and the back button here. The left side of this phone is host to the headset jack plus the volume rocker while the right side hosts a micro SD card slot, the charging port and the camera shutter. It is important to mention that you can only takes pictures when the phone is open. The memory of the Samsung Reclaim is capable of storing 600 phonebook entries with room for 6 numbers each and a lot of other details and notes for your contacts. This phone comes with all the basic features that a cell phone must have such as an alarm clock, a calculator, a stopwatch, a speakerphone or a memo pad.
The 2 MP camera of the Samsung Reclaim comes with 5 different resolutions for taking pictures. You have an included self time, 10 different frames for editing your photos, digital zoom. Night mode, spot metering, adjustable brightness, 4 different shutter sounds and 5 white balance settings. Battery life is probably the most essential aspect when people buy cell phones because portable devices need to have the capacity of being used long periods of time even when there isn’t a power outlet in handy to charge tem. After running different test, it turned out that the Samsung Reclaim is capable of staying on for about 7 hours and 29 minutes of talk time which is quite a good performance for a cell phone that has the features of the Reclaim.
