Network & Internet Connection & Service provider

What if the target device does not have internet connection?

In most cases you will need Internet access on the target device to utilize all functions and keep a reliable reporting schedule, but depending on what you need the software to do and what model Target phone you have, there may be a few other options.

iDevice (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) will generally default to a WiFi connection whenever available. The WiFi connection would need to provide a TCP/IP connection to the Internet, and could then be used for everything the GPRS cell connection is normally used for, but only when the WiFi is available.

Windows Mobile may be configured to use WiFi when available, through the Connections Manager (on WiFi capable devices). This may work differently between various models and we cannot provide support for setting it up. You will need to consult either the phone’s manual or customer service to see if this is possible with your device.

Other than this, if your Target is a GSM phone that takes a SIM card, you can always use a SIM card with Internet access (even a cheap prepaid SIM) just to get the software installed and setup, and then swap it out with the Target’s own SIM card later. All non-Internet functions will still be active then (SpyCall, etc.), but without Internet it will not be able to report any data (SMS, Call Logs, Email, Location) you may be capturing.

Why does the target device need Internet?

You need internet service to initially download the software directly into the target device itself. TheTruthSpy also uses the Internet connection to send all captured data to your included web account for review. This is all the SMS, Call Logs, Photo, keylogger, Notes, Social networking messages, or Location information you are tracking on the target device.

Have data recorded during period when target phone has no internet connection been lost?

No. When target phone doesnot have internet connection, TheTruthSpy still records data but can not send data to server. TheTruthSpy will save all recorded data in temporary files on target phone and wait to try to send again when the target phone has internet connection. Therefore, recorded data will not be lost. But you have to wait until target phone has internet connection to review new data.

Does target phone have to have internet connection 24/24?

The target phone doesn’t have to have internet connection 24/24. But at least it should have internet connection sometimes a day so TheTruthSpy can send recorded data to server.
