Common Technical Support Questions


Does Mobile Spy work on my phone?
Mobile Spy works on most smartphones which run the BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows Mobile, Android or Symbian OS operating system. A partial list of compatible phones can be found here. Your phone's account must have Internet access to upload logs.

Will users know Mobile Spy is installed or running?
Mobile Spy uses the latest innovations in mobile monitoring to keep your monitoring safe and secure. There are no indications that Mobile Spy is running while it is active. The program has no entries in the User Menu, and its files are extremely discreet. Best of all, when Mobile Spy is running, there is NO entry for it in the Task Manager. So it is your responsibility to notify any user they are being monitored.

What are the basic steps for installing? / How do I create my account?
No matter which smartphone you have, the first step to installing Mobile Spy is to create your account online. You can do this on your computer. Just go to the registration page and create your trial or full version account according to the instructions on that page. After you have created your account, go to the instructions page in the next question for whichever type of smartphone you have. For more details on registering, see the User Guide.

I have created my account. What's next?
After you create your account you should visit the installation instructions page for your operating system below. It will describe in detail how to install Mobile Spy onto your phone.

I am receiving an Invalid Login message on my phone!
You might have recently changed your password inside your Mobile Spy account. The phone will need to be told the new password. If this is not the case then your trial period or subscribed period has expired.

Why Are My GPS Logs not Being Uploaded?
GPS Logs are recorded in version 3.0 or later on iPhone and Windows Mobile Devices. Your device must have a built-in GPS receiver for GPS tracking to work. Locations are uploaded when a GPS signal is available. Mobile Spy can get a location ONLY when the GPS receiver in the phone can receive a location. If no location can be found, then no data can be uploaded.

How do I change logging settings?
For Windows Mobile and Symbian OS phones you should open Mobile Spy on your phone by using the secret key sequence. Just dial #123456789* and wait for the login screen to appear. The call will disconnect. Then click Options and change the settings to meet your needs. Then when you are finished, select HIDE to hide the program.

How do I change my Mobile Spy password?
To change your password, first login to your account. Then click the "Change Password" link on the left side menu. Enter your current password and the new password twice to confirm.
