SPYERA can send SMS monitoring alerts to a phone number you choose — called the monitoring number — so you are notified the moment the target device changes its SIM or starts a call. This guide explains how to set up the monitoring number and enable SMS alerts.
What are SMS monitoring alerts?
SMS alerts are text messages sent to your pre-defined monitoring number (your own phone). SPYERA can send two types of alert:
- SIM change alert — you are notified when the target device has a new SIM card.
- Call started alert — you are notified when the target device makes or receives a call.
Important: Never enter the target’s phone number as the monitoring number — it is not required. If you do, the target user will receive these alerts. The monitoring phone must be your own phone, one you have physical access to, and it does not need SPYERA installed on it.
How to set the monitoring number
- Sign in to your SPYERA web account.
- Click Live Listening in the left-hand menu.
- Click Set Monitor Number and enter your own phone number.
- Click Sync Now to save the change to the target device.
How to change the monitoring number
You can check the current monitoring number at any time in the Live Listening section of your web account. If it is not correct, simply enter a new number and click Sync Now.
Using the monitoring number for live listening
The monitoring number is also the phone you use to perform call interception and spy call:
- When there is an incoming or outgoing call involving a number on your watchlist, SPYERA sends an SMS alert to your monitoring phone.
- When you receive that SMS, you can call the target phone to listen in on the live call (call interception).
- You can also call the target device from your monitoring number to perform a spy call and listen to the device’s surroundings.
All of these features are configured from the Live Listening category of your online web account.
