Some Spy phones are classic Nokia phone handsets adapted to function as room bugs. As an early form of GSM bug, they remain popular due to their ability to blend in as old or broken phones. This classic Nokia handset presents as an out of date phone that has simpley not been discarded when it became redundant, although it has been installed with a special spy firmaware.
Spy Phone Adapted to Give Appearance of a Dead Phone
This design cleverly disguises the device as a non-functional phone. The deception is multi-layered. Not only does the phone look inactive, but it also behaves as an inactive phone would. It doesn’t ring, light up, or respond to any input. This makes it a highly effective tool for covert operations.
However, the call-receiving capability remains operational, allowing the phone to answer incoming calls automatically. This seemingly contradictory functionality is key to its purpose. The phone is, in effect, in a state of suspended animation, appearing dormant but still able to perform its primary function as a listening device.
When a call connects, the microphone is activated, enabling the caller to monitor the surrounding environment. This allows for real-time audio surveillance from a remote location. The caller can listen to conversations, background noises, and any other relevant sounds within the vicinity of the device. This provides valuable information in situations where it is important to understand what is happening in a particular location without being physically present.
Enhanced Microphone Sensitivity
Unlike standard phone microphones, which filter background noise and limit pickup to close proximity, the Infinity spy phone boasts enhanced microphone sensitivity specifically for covert listening. This enables it to capture audio clearly within an 8-meter radius, making it a highly effective GSM bug.
Innocuous Short Term Listening Device
The Infinity Spy Phone excels in short-term audio surveillance. Its inconspicuous design makes it suitable for various scenarios: in an office, it can be discreetly placed on a desk or cupboard; in a car, it can be hidden in a seat back pocket or under a seat. It offers a standby time of up to four days or a listening time of approximately 5 hours. Furthermore, its tri-band capability ensures functionality across GSM networks in the UK, EU, and other countries.
Can this spy phone be used as a normal mobile phone (cell phone)?
No, standard phone functions are disabled, so the device will appear as if the battery is dead.
Can I leave this connected to the mains supply as though it was on charge and still be able to use it as a spy phone?
Yes, like a regular mobile phone, it remains active while charging.
Can this be set to call me back when there is noise in the area where it has been placed?
No, this GSM bug model does not have voice activation.
Where in the world can this spy phone be used?
It can be used anywhere with a tri-band GSM phone network, which includes most countries worldwide using the 900/1800/1900MHz frequency bands.
I live in a location where I cannot receive a reasonable phone signal on my mobile phone on any network. Will the Infinity Spy Phone still work?
Almost certainly not. The phone’s antenna has not been modified for improved reception.
