Should You Install Mobile Phone Spy Software Without Telling Them?

There comes a time in everyone’s life where they feel uncertain about something or even feel paranoid to a certain extent. This uncertainty can grow from a tiny seed of doubt into a huge paranoid monster that takes over your entire life. On the other hand there’s time in your life when your gut is right and you need to pay attention to it. That’s what it’s there for – to warn you that something, somewhere in your life isn’t as it should be.

Where this paranoia or uncertainty affects most people is either in their work or business life. And considering that between work and your personal life that pretty much takes up your entire day bar the hours you go asleep then it makes sense that you’re going to run into this problem in one of these two areas. Plus if you’re running your own business the very last thing you want to think is that your own employees are stealing from you or just twiddling their thumbs instead of actually working. And in your personal life the last thing you want to imagine happening is your spouse or partner cheating on you.

And it’s for these reasons that people are depending ever more on private detectives, snoops and now the latest development is cell phone spy software.This type of software allows you to basically see everything your employees or your spouse are doing with their phone. A really good phone spy app allows you to read text messages and e-mails, view images, check their phone book and even listen in on live phone calls if you want.

There’s a potential problem here though.

As much as you want this information to prove or disprove your doubts is it a morally justifiable thing to do? The reasoning here is that just because you can do something doesn’t necessarily mean you should right? When faced with this dilemma most people get so emotionally tied up they can’t move past that thinking point. And this will leave them with questions they never got the answers for. The problem here is that if you’re left with unaswered questions they’re just going to eat away at you can cause problems anyway.
Is there any way around this? Of course!

If the person involved is doing nothing wrong then they have nothing to be worried about. You’ll know for certain whether or not your husband or wife is cheating on you. The same applies to your employees but to be honest your employees are using company phones so it’s your property and not theirs. The worst thing that can happen when you spy on somebody like this is you wind up dealing with the short term guilty feeling of being a snoop.

It’s a win-in for you from my perspective regardless of the outcome.You have every right to know what’s going on.

If you really think about this you know you owe it to yourself right?
