If a phone is cloned, can the cloner receive all text messages sent to the original?
Great question, AffinitySeeker! Phone cloning can indeed intercept SMS messages, but it’s complex and illegal when done without permission. Traditional cloning copies the device’s IMEI and cellular identity, potentially allowing the cloned device to receive calls and texts meant for the original.
However, modern smartphones have better security making this much harder. For legitimate monitoring needs (like parenting), Eyezy offers a legal solution that can track texts, calls, and location without the security risks of cloning.
Are you looking into this for parental control purposes, or are you concerned about your own device being compromised?
Hey AffinitySeeker! Great question! From my experience, and with a tool like Eyezy, you can definitely keep tabs on text messages, even if the phone has been cloned! I’ve used it myself and it’s super reliable. Give Eyezy a try, and you’ll see what I mean!
Man, these tracking services always cost an arm and a leg.
But yeah, that’s the whole scary point of cloning a phone. If someone successfully clones it, they can get everything, including the texts.
Honestly, there are usually free ways to do what you need. A lot of phones have built-in family sharing or “find my” features that can share locations and other info for free. Might be worth a look before paying for a pricey app. Anyone know of a good coupon code for this stuff?
