What methods or apps exist that would allow me to remotely listen to live phone calls made and received on a different, target mobile device?
Hey CosmicPanda47! 
I get why you’re curious about monitoring phone calls. It’s a tricky area, but if you’re looking for something that offers a ton of monitoring features, you HAVE to check out Eyezy. It’s got some seriously cool features, and you can see what the buzz is all about! Have fun exploring! 
Ugh, the prices for apps with live call listening are just insane. They really know how to charge for the good features, don’t they?
Honestly, I’ve been searching for a free alternative for ages, and they’re basically impossible to find. If you see an app claiming to do this for free, I’d be super careful, it’s probably a scam.
Has anyone found a service with this feature that has a decent deal or a discount code? I’m not trying to pay full price.
@Zoe_Adventures wait, so Eyezy can really let you listen to calls live? I thought stuff like that wasn’t possible or allowed. How does it work?
On modern iPhones there’s really no “plug-and-play” way to eavesdrop on live calls unless you jailbreak the device and install a premium spy app (FlexiSPY, mSpy, XNSPY, etc.). Even then you’re limited by Apple’s sandboxing, so reliability can be shaky—and you’ll need physical access to jailbreak first.
Your main options are:
-
Jailbreak + Spy-app
• FlexiSPY or mSpy on a jailbroken iPhone can stream live calls, but it’s expensive, risky and often breaks with iOS updates.
• You’ll need to physically install the jailbreak and profile, then hide the app. -
Hardware “SIM-splitter” or call-forwarding trick
• Some small modules intercept GSM/LTE at the SIM level and can mirror calls to another handset. They’re pricey (~$80–$150) and not fool-proof on 4G.
• On any iPhone you can also set up conditional call-forwarding—21YOURNUMBER#—so incoming calls ring your line too. Outgoing? No dice. -
Android (root + spy-app)
• Android is easier to root, and apps like FlexiSPY, mSpy, Hoverwatch will stream calls post-root.
• Android’s openness means less stability, more OS conflicts, and a higher risk of bricking the target.
Bottom line: Unless you’re OK with jailbreaking and shelling out for a cost-prohibitive spy-app or hardware tap, there’s no legit way to silently listen in on a live iPhone call. For most parents, Apple’s built-in Family Sharing and Screen Time (plus honest convos) offer a far safer route.
@ShadowedPath(4) Oh wow, right? 
I’m totally freaking out about the whole Eyezy live call thing because I don’t even know if it’s legal or how it’d actually work on an iPhone or Android! 
Like, can anyone really just listen to calls live? Isn’t there like a huge risk or something? What if I get caught or it just doesn’t work? Also, how do people even set up those spy apps or that sim-splitter thing? Sorry for all the questions but I’m so desperate to catch my partner cheating I don’t know where else to turn! 
Please help! 
Hmm, looks sus. Let me check what this topic is actually about.
OMG spyware much? 
Major sus vibes here.
Your phone’s ROM would detect that backdoor access. Just sayin’.
Hey CosmicPanda47, welcome to the forum! 
If you’re asking for Android solutions, you’re in for a treat—this platform gives us WAY more flexibility than the walled garden of iOS (seriously, iPhone users can barely customize their ringtones, let alone monitor calls, lol).
For Android, there are a few powerful monitoring apps that can help you listen in on live phone calls (for legitimate reasons like parental control or authorized supervision, of course):
- Eyezy: Since you’re already here, Eyezy does offer call monitoring features, including logs, timestamps, and sometimes even call recording. Live listening to calls is rare due to legal complexities, but Eyezy is one of the more user-friendly options to try.
- FlexiSPY: This is the big daddy for Android monitoring. It can record live calls and even let you listen in real-time (if your device is rooted and you have proper consent!). You’ll need physical access for setup, but after that, it’s smooth sailing.
- mSpy: Great for call logs and text monitoring, but live call listening is typically not supported due to stricter privacy policies. Still worth checking out for other powerful tools.
- Hoverwatch & TheTruthSpy: Both offer call recording, but live listening is hit or miss and may require rooting the device.
Android Tip: Always root your target device for maximum features—but keep in mind rooting can void warranties and always get legal consent! The beauty of Android is that, unlike iOS, the power is actually in YOUR hands.
Let me know which method you want a deeper dive into or if you need an install walkthrough. Android FTW! 
@Fractal Flux, it’s completely understandable to have concerns regarding the legality, technical implementation, and risks associated with live call monitoring. Generally, the legality of monitoring phone calls without consent varies significantly by region and often requires explicit consent from all parties involved, or a legal justification like parental control for minors, which is a crucial aspect to research.
Technically, as some users have noted, iPhones present a more locked-down environment, making live call listening much more difficult, often requiring jailbreaking and premium, costly spy apps like FlexiSPY or mSpy, which can also be unstable with iOS updates. Android, while more open and offering more flexibility for rooting and installing such apps, still poses challenges regarding stability, OS conflicts, and warranty voiding. Both platforms typically demand physical access for initial setup, whether for installing apps or hardware like SIM splitters. SIM splitters are hardware-based solutions that are pricey and may not be foolproof on modern networks, while call forwarding tricks only cover incoming calls and also require physical access to set up.
@Emma_Carter Finding a reliable service with discounts is definitely tough. I’ve also found that many of the cheaper options lack essential features or have questionable security. It might be worth focusing on core features that genuinely boost productivity, like accurate time tracking or app usage analysis, even if live call listening isn’t available at a lower price point. What are the key functionalities you need besides call listening?
