The time to spend enormous amounts of money on your loved ones is here. What better way to teach your loved ones the holiday spirit than to give them an iPhone that's primed to spy on their calls and text messages. With a new iPhone app, you can finally keep tabs on anyone with an iPhone.
Mobile Spy is exactly what it sounds like. The app was created by Retina–X Studios (with what we assume was funded in part by the CIA, FBI, KGB, SSA, CSI, Fringe, X-Files, and Tourchwood). Retina-X Studio’s press release reads:
“The software helps businesses enforce their Acceptable Use Policy on company provided phones. The software can also monitor teen or family phones. It gives a parent the ability to remotely monitor their child's text and call activities by simply logging into the website. Another common use is to back up a user's own cell activity as a record of all important text conversations and calls.”
Before you run to the App Store to find the Mobile Spy software, chillax. The software will only work on a jailbroken iPhone. In fact, Retina–X Studios is happy to teach you how to jailbreak your iPhone. "Note that your phone should be jailbroken to enable the software's functionality. We provide the easy and reversable instructions to do this at no cost upon ordering."
Once the completely stealth application is running on an iPhone, you can go online and check a record of all incoming and outgoing texts, and call times. We all know what you are really going to use it for though, to secretly stalk your significant other and make sure your kids aren’t wheeling and/or dealing in any suspicious and unlawful activities. Or more importantly, to see if any of your friends or family are talking about how much they love you. And becuase of said love, they're planning on giving you a MacBook Pro.
