Spy on text messages – even the deleted ones!

This cell phone spy gadget is being marketed to parents of teens who are all caught up in a texting frenzy. Turns out teens aren’t just swapping gossip and making plans…they’re using texts to cheat on tests and ‘sext’ (that is, send racy pics via their cell phones).

But even if you’re not the parent of a text-crazy teen, you may still be interested in the slick spying capabilities of Brickhouse Security’s Cell Phone Spy Elite, which allows its owners to read and edit private data including deleted texts and dialed calls from any SIM or Smart card. Of course, this isn’t going to be your product of choice if the phone you’re looking to spy on doesn’t have a removable SIM (like Verizon phones, BlackBerrys and iPhones). The good news is, it’s extremely easy to use. Just follow these three steps:

1. Remove SIM card from phone

2. Place SIM in Cell Phone Spy and plug into a USB drive on any computer

3. Read and modify all information, including deleted text messages (very cool)

Apparently, the Cell Phone Spy is tried and tested – it’s been used by private investigators for forensic cell phone analysis, as well as by law enforcement officials.

It’s also a great tool for backing up the info on your own phone (contacts, important messages etc) in case your phone gets lost, stolen or broken.

The only downside is the pricetag: on sale for $199.95 on the Brickhouse Security site. I guess it all depends how badly you need to get your hands on those deleted text messages…
