Question
QUESTION: Hello. U sound smart. I would like to know if straight talk phones (LG 100cm and LG200cm)if protected with a secutity code,can be spied on remotely if a staulker has remote spyware & knows the phone numbers. These phones do not have sim cards. Previously had staulker listening to phone calls when using past phones with sim cards. How can I protect these phones from this staulker? Many thanks for help much needed.

ANSWER: Actually, GSM phones (with SIM cards) are less likely to have issues. It's not possible to spy on a phone unless special software is physically loaded onto the phone. It can't be done any other way and in most cases, can't even be done that way. I'm not sure what happened to you, but I'm not aware of any software that will allow someone to spy on your calls or your texts. If your SIM card was cloned somehow, I'm assuming that might allow simultaneous access, but most carriers would catch that immediately.

QUESTION: If you do a search on the internet, spy equiptment for cell phones is readily available. The staulker had access to the sim card, and apparently used it to access data remotely. Evidence of this activity showed up on phone records. Thank you very much for your expertise.

ANSWER: Makes sense. As I had mentioned, a person who have to have access to your SIM card, which you indicated they did. This then allows them to clone or use the info for this spyware. But, keep in mind, that if a person doesn't have access to your phone (even without a SIM card, ie. CDMA), they can't (I guarantee you this) spy on you. It's not possible. So the only way they can is if they have access to your phone, whatever type of phone. Keep them away from your phone and you should be fine, I promise. The stuff on the internet only helps stalkers wtih access to the phones. Most stalkers fortunately don't have access to their victims phones.

QUESTION: How is this for a scenario. The stalking person has access to phoneA who contacts phoneB regularly. So rigged phoneA becomes remote tool to spy on conversations with phoneB which was never accessed. Accessible phoneA  switches to cdma phone and conversations can no longer be heard. At least that is what we hope.  Its time for you to write an ebook on this subject! :0)
Thanks again. All the best.

Answer
Well if you get a CDMA phone, he can't get a hold of your SIM card and clone it, so hopefully, this should work. I don't know what your relationship is with him, but I sure hope he's not your husband! Good luck to you! I so wish I had the time to write a book, but the subject would be great.
