It’s no secret that the best spy phone software on the market is Mobile Spy. It’s the spy phone software that’s compatible with the widest range of phones, works with the most carriers, is the easiest to install, and is almost 100% undetectable. It’s the go-to solution for anyone who needs to spy on a cell phone. But if you want to make sure your phone is compatible before you invest, then here’s the information you need to know.
Spy Phone Software: Phone Basics
To install spy phone software, the type of cell phone you need is a smart phone. That means your basic, dial-only type phone won’t work. It needs to be a phone with an operating system in order to run the software. Usually if your phone requires a data plan with your cell phone carrier, then it’s probably a smart phone. If if doesn’t, then it most likely won’t work with spy phone software. Phones like Razr’s, Cosmos, etc, won’t work.
Here’s a list of phones that the spy phone software Mobile Spy works on:
Blackberry devices: compatible BlackBerry OS version(s): 4.x.x.xxx, 5.0.0.xxx, 6.0.0.xxx, & 7.0.0.xxx
Android phones: compatible Android OS version(s): 2.3 – 2.3.7, 2.0 – 2.2.2, 1.6, & 1.5
iPhone devices: compatible iOS versions: 3.1.3 – 4.3.5 (Mobile Spy is NOT currently compatible with Apple iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 & iPhone 4S models running iOS 5.0 or 5.0.1) Also, iPhone has to be jailbroken in order to run the software. This is quick and easy to do, and does not harm the phone.
Windows phones: compatible with Windows Mobile 6.x (not currently compatible with Windows Mobile 7)
Symbian phones: compatible with Symbian OS up to 9.4
Spy Phone Software: Carrier Basics
Okay, now that you know what kind of phone you need to run spy phone software, what about cell phone carriers? If you get Mobile Spy, it is compatible with the following carriers:

T Mobile
Alltel
Spring
Cingular
AT&T
Vodaphone
Verizon
Virgin Mobile
Orange
Megafon
Rogers
Telcel
and more.
AT&T NOTICE: If your carrier is AT&T, it is a possibility that AT&T may have restricted the device from downloading and installing third-party applications, such as Mobile Spy. It is recommended to check with your carrier first to determine if this limitation is on your device prior to purchasing the Mobile Spy software.
VERIZON NOTICE: If your carrier is Verizon, you MUST currently subscribe to their GPS services so that the GPS tracking feature of Mobile Spy will function properly. If you do not subscribe to their GPS services, Mobile Spy will NOT be able to monitor the GPS locations of the monitored device.
Spy Phone Software: What If Your Phone Isn’t Compatible?
If the phone you want to install spy phone software on isn’t compatible, probably the fastest, easiest, and most inexpensive option you have is to upgrade the phone. If you haven’t upgraded phones in a while, then you might even be able to get a free smart phone if you talk to your carrier. Many offer free phones with 2 year agreements, or they let you upgrade at discounted rates. Another option you have if you really want to install spy phone software, but you aren’t eligible to upgrade yet, is to order a phone off of ebay, or even buy one on craigslist. Also, lots of carriers offer refurbished phones at much cheaper rates than new ones, and they usually have warranties.
One advantage of getting a new phone for the person you want to use spy phone software on, is that you can install the software BEFORE you give them the phone. They will not only never suspect that it’s there, but it’ll also be easier for you to install the software since you’ll have access to the phone before they do. And hardly anyone can resist a new phone — especially one they receive as a gift. Right?
Also keep in mind that in order for spy phone software to transmit data, you’ll need an internet/data plan, and in some cases a GPS plan. That way you can spy on the most information possible.
