How sensitive is the microphone on the GSM bug?

Does it come supplied with a SIM card?

Yes, we give the option of a Vodafone pay as you go SIM, although the device will accept any network SIM card operating on quad-band frequencies.

Does the GSM Bug make any noise or are there any indication that it is being used as a listening device?

There are no giveaway signs whatsoever.

How does the recording work?

The Bluetooth Call Recorder is paired with your Smartphone. Make the call to the bug and then switch on the record on the Bluetooth Call Recorder to record what you are hearing through the phone earpiece.

How long can the Bluetooth Call Recorder record for?

The device will operate for about 20 hours on a full battery charge, although recording capacity of the device is actually up to 144 hours.

Do the recordings have a time and date stamp?

The recordings are only numbered. There is no time and date reference on the recordings.

How can the recordings be played back?

Recordings can be played back through supplied earphones, the inbuilt speaker or through computer speakers after the recorded files have been transferred to a PC.

You will need to consider the following to use this equipment:

• You will need an active SIM card inside the GSM bug to enable it to receive calls
• You should be aware that if you are using a pay as you go SIM card and not using that SIM card for outgoing calls, then the SIM provider may cut off the usage of the SIM card after a period of time.
• Although you can playback recorded files through the Bluetooth Call Recorder, it is an advantage to have a computer with a USB port to plug the device into to enable more enhanced audio and control of files
