5 Easy Ways To Detect BlackBerry Spyware
As BlackBerry spyware continues to make news, an increasing amount of people are emailing me asking how to detect BlackBerry spyware. Here are the top five signs that you might have BlackBerry spy software installed on your BlackBerry.
- Can I Borrow Your BlackBerry? Someone has recently asked to borrow your BlackBerry phone in order to make a "private call" or to download a ringtone or something similar such as an app or game. (99.9% of all cell phone spyware requires a person to get physcial access to the cell phone in order to install the spy app.)
- How Much! Your text message bill has recently increased and you don't remember sending so many messages. Another sign is that you notice an unusual increase in reported data traffic. BlackBerry spy software such as Flexispy & Mobile Spy use GPRS to transfer the collected data, which means if you are not the type who uses your BlackBerry to browse the web or to download games,a sudden spike in data usage is another sure sign you might have BlackBerry spy software installed.
- Battery Drain? Is your BlackBerry's battery life suddenly a lot shorter than the usual amount of hours? Depending on the type of BlackBerry spyware installed, your BlackBerry might experience a considerable amount of abnormal battery drain.
- Do You See Quick Flashes? Your BlackBerry 'lights up' for no reason but doesn't ring. Flexispy's PRO & PRO-X BlackBerry spy software has a remote monitoring feature (spy call) which enables someone to secretly listen to your BlackBerry's surroundings. When a spy call is made, the spy phone software may briefly light up for a split second. This doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen.
- Do You Hear Strange Sounds? When BlackBerry spyware is installed that has a live call interception feature (such as Flexispy PRO-X), the BlackBerry will make a very small noise or click when someone is attempting to intercept your call and listen in on your conversation. Sometimes it's hard to tell with background noise in general, but if you are inside and notice a clicking noise whenever you use the phone, it probably means you are being tapped.
If some (or all) of these warning signs sound familiar to you, then I highly recommend taking the time to either download a BlackBerry spyware detection and removal app (it's free!) or take your BlackBerry into your provider and have them reinstall the OS again.
Keep in mind that for a guy like me who has experience installing cell phone spyware, I only need two to three minutes to do a complete install. Once I'm done your BlackBerry is at my control. I can view your call history, read your text messages, email, track your location via GPS, secretly listen in on your surroundings, and listen in on your live calls.
Yes, it's that quick and easy to install BlackBerry spyware, so if you think you might have BlackBerry spyware on your phone, take the time to get it removed.
Good luck.

Can You Remotely Install BlackBerry Spyware?
I get a lot of emails from people who want to know if it's possible to install BlackBerry spyware without physical access to the cell phone.
The quick answer is NO.
You cannot remotely install BlackBerry spyware sold by spy phone vendors online (such as Mobile Spy & Flexispy), because you MUST have physical access to the BlackBerry device. There is absolutely no way around this.
Not a single BlackBerry spy phone vendor on the market today is selling any type of mobile spy software that has remote installation. Although technically possible, none of the spy phone vendors want to cross that line. Offering remote installation opens up the possibilities for a plethora of abuse. It's just not worth it. I've personally spoken to the owners of both Flexispy & Mobile Spy, and both are in agreement on this.
So what should you do if you cannot get physical access to the target phone? Definitely don't waste your money on any type of BlackBerry spy software. I repeat, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. I know there are few sites out there claiming that you can remotely install spy phone software for all cell phones such as Android, BlackBerry, or iPhone. Some even say you can use technologies such as Bluetooth. Do not believe what they advertise. If you do, its your loss. I've received countless emails from people who've purchase bluetooth spy software because they were told having access to the target phone was not necessary. Unfortunately, this is a big lie. Even if those bluetooth spy products worked, you'd still need access to target phone to "pair" the two devices. Bottom line, without physical access to the target's BlackBerry cell phone, there is absolutely no way you are going to get spy software on it.
If you can't get physical access, what are your options?
You can do any of the following:
1) Ringtones, Games, & Wallpaper. Find a way to get access to your target's BlackBerry so you can install the BlackBerry spyware directly on the phone. Tell your target that there is a new game you want to download for them, or a ringtone, wallpaper, etc. You can also tell them that you need to use their phone because your battery is low, then take a quick bathroom break or something similar where you can be alone for a bit.
2) Buy them a new phone. I know this sounds a bit overboard, but if you're concerned that your spouse might be cheating on you, investing in the latest BlackBerry phone will be worth it if this is the only way for you to get BlackBerry spyware on the phone. New models of BlackBerry cell phones come out all the time, so buying a new phone would be a perfect way for you to take all the time you need to install the BlackBerry spy software, configure it, test it, etc. and then give to your spouse as a gift.
3) Look for alternate ways to monitor them. For example, what two technology items are most used today? I'd say cell phones and computers. If you can't get access to one, go for the other one. Any google search for "PC Spy Software" will turn up at least 40-50 different PC Spy vendors. My personal favorite is Sniper Spy, because it has a cool live monitoring feature and it does have remote installation.
Other options include Google's Latitude application which allows you to track the movements of a person using Google Maps. However, they will have to 'opt in' to being tracked, so if you want to do this secretly, there is always GPS devices you can place on (or in) their car. You can also find out who they call most often via looking at their cell phone records (if you have access to them), and then do a reverse phone look up using many of the reverse phone look up services, such as Cell Phone Snoop.
Now you know, that no matter what you read online, there is no way to remotely install BlackBerry spy software, but at least there are other ways to get the information you want if you absolutely can't get access to the phone. Remember, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on BlackBerry spy products that claim you do not need access to the target phone. You'll just end up wasting your money.
Track Blackberry Location | BlackBerry GPS Tracking
If you are looking for a way to track a BlackBerry's location, you can do this using BlackBerry spy software. Lots of people don't realize that for less than $50 bucks, you can purchase BlackBerry spy software which will enable you to easily track a BlackBerry using stealth GPS tracking technology.
Although there are two companies currently selling BlackBerry spy software (Flexispy Software & Mobile Spy), only Mobile Spy offers an affordable BlackBerry GPS tracking solution. (Flexispy has GPS tracking, but it's only available on their PRO version which retails for $249 USD.)
In order to track a BlackBerry's location using Mobile Spy, all you need to do is install Mobile Spy on any compatible BlackBerry cell phone that you want to track. Once installed, the BlackBerry's GPS coordinates are recorded and then secretly uploaded to your online Mobile Spy account. The next step is to log into your Mobile Spy account using any internet enabled device that has a web browser, and you'll see a list of GPS records with a clickable link to where each GPS position is on a map.
Now all you need to do is look at the approximate time that you want to see where the BlackBerry was (GPS logs are recorded and uploaded in 30 minute intervals), and click on the 'View Map' link. Once you click on this link, you'll be directed to Google Maps, where you'll see exactly where the GPS coordinates are on a map. (Just an FYI. Flexispy's version includes both historical and real time BlackBerry GPS tracking.)
Now armed with the BlackBerry location details, you'll be able to determine if the BlackBerry user was where they were supposed to be. The great thing about Google Maps is that you can zoom in or out, get information on surrounding businesses, driving directions, and view the map in a terrain or satellite view.
As you can see, if you are in the market for a BlackBerry GPS tracking product, using BlackBerry spy software is a very cost effective way to track a BlackBerry cell phone.

BlackBerry Storm Spyware | Does BlackBerry Storm Spyware Work?
Although the BlackBerry Curve was the #1 selling consumer smartphone in the US last quarter, I still get a lot of people who ask me if it's possible to spy on a BlackBerry Storm. For every five "how do you spy on a BlackBerry Curve?" emails I receive, I get at least two or three emails from people asking me if BlackBerry Storm spyware exists. It seems like there are lots of people out there who want to find a way to spy on a BlackBerry Storm. Well the good news is that "YES!" you can purchase BlackBerry Storm spyware.
If you want to purchase BlackBerry Storm spyware, you'll need to make sure that you can get your hands on the BlackBerry Storm that you want to spy on. Currently you can purchase BlackBerry Storm spyware from two different spy phone vendors.
1) Mobile Spy. Prices start at only $49.97 for a three month license, or $99.97 for a 1 year license. If you purchase the 1 year license, you also get a free copy of their award winning PC spy software called Sniper Spy. Sniper Spy is one of the only pc spy software packages that enable someone to watch a remote computer in real time. Mobile Spy's BlackBerry spy software will enable anyone to secretly read text messages & call logs on a BlackBerry Storm. You'll also get to track the BlackBerry Storm via GPS in 30 minute intervals.
2) Flexispy. Prices start at $149, and go as high as $349. All pricing is based on a 1 year license. What makes Flexispy stand out, is that if you are willing to pay the price, the spy phone features offered by their PRO or PRO-X version will blow you away. Flexispy PRO has similar features as Mobile Spy, but where it stands out is that it has a 'Spy Call' feature which enables you to secretly call the BlackBerry Storm that has Flexispy installed, and secretly listen in on the phone's surroundings. Their PRO-X version takes it one step further and enables you to listen in on LIVE calls! Yes, that is correct. Once you install Flexispy PRO-X on a BlackBerry Storm, you'll be able to secretly listen in on their live calls. No other BlackBerry spy software in the world can do this.
Here is a breakdown of both Mobile Spy & Flexispy.
MOBILE SPY (BlackBerry)

Where To Buy
Now you know that if you are looking for a way to spy on a BlackBerry Storm, options do exist. However, before you rush out to purchase spyware for the BlackBerry Storm, you should be aware of the following:
1) You MUST have physical access to the BlackBerry Storm in order to install BlackBerry spyware. There is NO WAY to install BlackBerry spyware without physical access to the cell phone.
2) Figure out what you need before you purchase the BlackBerry spyware. For example, you could determine that listening to live phone calls is not that important to you. If so, then why spend $349 bucks when you can spend $49? But if you feel that you will not be happy until you can hear what is exactly going on when your target talks on their cell phone, then without a doubt, go with Flexispy PRO-X that has Live Call Interception.
3) Try to set aside at least 30 minutes to an hour in order to install spyware on a BlackBerry Storm. Even though you can probably complete installation, configuration, and testing within 15 minutes, it's always safe to do it a few times before you try to install the BlackBerry spyware on your target's BlackBerry device.
Have Fun!

"Before I released the tool, I had a lot of people asking me if it will detect the Flexispy program.

This gives you an idea of exactly what is running on your handheld at any one time. By letting you drill down further, you can discover more details of each application module.

COMING SOON --- >> MOBILE SPY BLACKBERRY SPY SOFTWARE
I just received an email from the guys over at Mobile Spy informing me that their BlackBerry spy software is very close to being released. When asked, they stressed it's closer to "days" than "weeks" which is good news to me.
Specific features are not known at this time, but I bet it's safe to assume all the standard spy phone features will be offered such as being able to secretly read incoming and outgoing text messages, reading call logs to find out which calls were made and/or received. Other spy phone features such as spying on emails, messenger conversations, GPS tracking, & remote monitoring are unknown.
Here is a screen shot that was sent to me. Looks like the installation instructions.
The release of Mobile Spy's BlackBerry spy software is great news to the BlackBerry spy phone market. Until now, Flexispy was the only place to buy BlackBerry spy software. With the release of Mobile Spy's BlackBerry spy software, this should see not only more advanced spy phone features come out, but also perhaps more competitive pricing.
As soon as the details on Mobile Spy's BlackBerry spy software are known, I'll be sure to post an update.
New BlackBerry Spy Software Vendor | BlackBerry Spy Software News
Although not officially announced, there will soon be another BlackBerry spy software vendor entering the BlackBerry spy software market.
Right now, if you want to buy BlackBerry spy software, your only choice is to purchase Flexispy's BlackBerry spy software. Flexispy develops incredible spy phone software, and in my opinion, they are the current industry leaders, but it's always nice to have a little competition. 
I don't have details yet, but I do have confirmation that this company will soon release their version of BlackBerry spy software. Once they give me the "ok" to report the news, I'll be sure to write a review on it.
I'm guessing the BlackBerry spy software will have all the usual spy phone features such as:
- Intercept text messages
- Secretly view inbound and outbound call logs
- GPS tracking
- Remote monitoring
As for the price? That is a question I'm very curious about. Most likely it will have a price point similar to Flexispy ($149 USD). I've been told the announcement will take place in the next few days, so make sure you check back.

BlackBerry Spyware – What Can It Really Do?
BlackBerry Spyware is growing more than ever. However, there are still a great deal of BlackBerry users out there who are not aware of what exactly BlackBerry spyware is, and most importantly, what BlackBerry spyware can do.
Here is a video on cell phone spyware that demonstrates all the features of spyware that is available for cell phones, including the BlackBerry. I would like to point out that even though the cell phone used in this video is NOT a BlackBerry phone, all the spy phone features shown in this clip (text message interception, secretly viewing call logs, cell phone location tracking, & remote monitoring) are available for BlackBerry phones.
Anyone out there with an internet connection, and a credit card, can log onto a BlackBerry spyware vendor and purchase BlackBerry spyware for almost any BlackBerry device. The only thing that can protect you from being a victim of BlackBerry spyware, is to keep your cell phone with you at all times. It only takes a few minutes to install spy phone software, so if a person who wants to spy on your cannot get access to your phone, there is no way they are going to be able to install spyware on your BlackBerry.
For those of you who want to spy on a BlackBerry, this is something you have to understand as well. Without physical access to the BlackBerry, there is absolutely no way you are going to install BlackBerry spyware on your target's BlackBerry cell phone.
Here is the clip. Enjoy.
(By the way, the reporters used Flexispy software in this clip. Which is currently the only BlackBerry spyware vendor on the market today, but more are on the way. I've received emails from a couple BlackBerry spyware vendors that their products will hit the market in the coming months.)
