Your Social Media Profiles & Accounts Are At Risk
Almost Anyone That Has Watched TV Knows About Sim Card Or Phone CloningPhone cloning Scammers illegally monitor radio wave transmissions to intercept unique identifying numbers that cell phones transmit. They then modify their own phones to broadcast these numbers, cloning the legitimate phone ID, so their calls and data use are charged to the cloned account.
This is where some bad person clones your phone and number to monitor what you do. This is far easier than you might think.
Phone numbers are associated with the SIM inserted in the phone. Since every SIM has a unique number, every phone has a different number. There are two easy ways to clone a phone number and a unique way to intercept and spy on another smartphone and its activities. Cloning is an easy way to spy on somebody also.
The Cloning
If you are able to clone a cell phone number, you can use the same number on multiple devices at once. This is possible by accessing the secret menu on your device by entering retain codes specific to each phone and its model type. The secret menu will basically unlock the phone/SIM.
We are not going to tell you exactly how to do it, but a simple Google search will show you just how many tutorials and guides there are for it.
To clone phone numbers using a SIM Cloning Tool, consider using a SIM card Reader. This device is readily available on the market or on the web. We all know that every SIM has a different International Mobile Subscriber Identity, it is easy to replicate it on the reader and start using it as a new SIM with the same clone number.
Spyera is the most trustworthy (irony intended) smartphone spy tool to monitor an iPhone/Android easily. It can track all activities on other people’s Android/iPhone remotely and you will not even have to root/jailbreak the device to download/use the Spy tool on it if your target device is the Android device. But the iPhone and iPad are required to jailbreak to install Spyera.
You get the point – it is easy to do this. Welcome to the world of the 21st century – nothing is safe!
