There are many ways to listen to phone conversations different ways, both legal and beyond the law. We will tell you about the most common ones.

SORM

SORM - system technical means to ensure the functions of operational-search activities. All telecom operators are required to use it, otherwise they will not be able to obtain a license. SORM provides law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies with direct access to telephone conversations, and the operator is not even informed when his subscriber is being monitored. Formally, wiretapping requires court approval, but in reality, the suspect is often listened to without authorization, and permission can be obtained after material has been collected on him that can be used in court. Analogues of SORM exist in many countries around the world (for example, a program in the USA).

Operators

Russian operators are preparing to comply, according to which they are required to record telephone conversations of all subscribers and store them from six months to three years. Surely, the records are already saved in test mode, and you can access them through friends from among the operator’s employees.

Interception via SS7

IN cellular networks there is irremovable . It allows you to tap any phone and intercept SMS messages using equipment costing several thousand dollars, or order wiretapping on the black market for several thousand rubles. When developing standards cellular communications there was no protection against such attacks, since the phones were expected to only work within the operator's signaling network. In practice, third-party equipment can be connected to such a network from anywhere on the planet.

Vulnerabilities

Android and iOS smartphones are susceptible to vulnerabilities that allow correspondence and conversations to be intercepted. The most valuable are zero-day vulnerabilities, which are unknown to operating system developers. There are hundreds of thousands of dollars for information about them, and the companies that buy them cooperate with the intelligence services of different countries. Some Trojans are designed specifically for security forces. They are used en masse, but unofficially, without court permission, and are distributed using fake applications.

Viruses

There are viruses even in official stores applications (primarily Google Play). Security system hackers: they upload a normal application to the market, and the malicious code is loaded later as a small module with one of the updates. An unsuspecting user himself gives the application permission to use the microphone and access the Internet, after which his conversations are leaked to strangers.

Fake base stations and femtocells

Fake base stations and femtocells are sometimes used to intercept voice data. They work as intermediaries between cell phones and base stations operators, allowing you to record conversations and SMS messages. Hackers are also able to hack into femtocells and install spyware there.

Special equipment

The intelligence services have a huge arsenal of technical means for covert wiretapping: bugs, miniature microphones and scanners that decipher sound by the vibration of glass in the room where a person is located. The most effective way is to use a receiver, which intercepts the GSM signal over a wide range of frequencies, and a computer, which then decrypts this signal, converting it into a voice recording.

As you can see, tapping your phone is not particularly difficult, if only you had the desire or the means. Another thing is that people who have something to hide know about it and try to use more secure communication channels, for example, messengers like

ACR - automatic and manual recording of telephone conversations in Android

The Android operating system does not have a built-in phone call recording tool. However, on Google Play Market There are many applications available that will help eliminate this shortcoming. One of best programs for recording phone calls in manual and automatic modes, in my opinion, is ACR Call Recorder (ACR). The application has a convenient Russian-language interface and very flexible settings.

The main ACR window looks like this:

First of all, pay attention to the on/off switch. With it, you can quickly enable or disable recording of phone calls. It also supports the ability to quickly empty the "Trash" into which deleted phone call recordings are placed. Recording modes and other program parameters are located in the Settings menu.

Settings

Are common

Request a PIN code - protect the application using a PIN code. You can set a PIN code that will need to be entered to open the ACR:

Notifications - if this option is active, information about the ACR operation status will be displayed in the notification area:

Cart - if this option is active, then deleted files are first moved to the Recycle Bin, from where they can be restored if necessary. The files are finally deleted by emptying the Recycle Bin.

Play on click- if this option is active, then playback starts with a short press on a specific call recording. Long pressing on an entry opens the following menu with available actions:

If the option is not active, then this menu opens with a short press on the recorded call.

Internal media player- if the option is active, then recorded calls will be played back using the audio player built into ACR. Otherwise, the application will provide the option to select another installed audio player:

Library - if this option is active, the recorded calls will be added to the music library of your Android device.

Clear database- go to the list with all recorded calls (incoming and outgoing), where they can be deleted.

Record

Are common
Recording folder- select the folder in which recorded calls will be saved. Both internal and external card memory.

Recording format - select the file format for recorded conversations:

List of supported formats: 3GP, AMR, MP4, MP4-HQ, M4A, M4A-HQ, OGG, OGG-HQ, WAV, WAV-HQ, FLAC, FLAC-HQ. Unfortunately, the MP3 audio format familiar to most users is not supported. You can only choose the most suitable format experimentally, when you are completely satisfied with the recording quality and file size. I myself have settled on WAV for now (1 minute of recorded conversation takes approximately 1 MB).

Audio boost - you can adjust the audio volume boost for recorded calls. This option is not available for all formats and may distort the sound with crackling:

Gain range -20 dB to +20 dB. I did not use this setting, because... The standard volume (0 dB, i.e. without amplification) suits me completely.

Always ask for confirmation- if the option is active, after each phone call the application will provide the option to save or not save the recording:

Automatic removal- you can activate the option automatic deletion old conversations after the specified number of days:

Delete short entries- you can activate the option to automatically delete short conversations:

Range from 1 second to 60 seconds ("0" - off). For example, if you select "30", then recorded conversations lasting less than 30 seconds will be automatically deleted.

Recording Mode
Recording a conversation- choice between automatic and manual recording of telephone conversations:

In automatic mode, all incoming and outgoing calls will be recorded without user intervention. At manual mode To start recording a conversation, you need to click on a special button in the call window:

Outgoing recording delay- recording of an outgoing call will begin a set number of seconds after a successful connection:

Range from 1 to 20 seconds ("0" - off). The recommended value is 2 seconds. If recording outgoing calls does not work correctly on your smartphone, it is recommended to change this parameter to a smaller or larger (most often) direction.

Incoming recording delay- recording of an incoming call will begin a set number of seconds after a successful connection:

Range from 1 to 20 seconds ("0" - off). The recommended value is 0 seconds. If recording incoming calls does not work correctly on your smartphone, it is recommended to change this setting upward.

Audio source - the source of the voice recording. By default, VOICE_CALL is used, which supports recording of both interlocutors (if your smartphone supports such recording):

Available values: VOICE_CALL, MIC, VOICE_DOWNLINK, VOICE_UPLINK, VOICE_COMMUNICATION, VOICE_RECOGNITION. If recording in VOICE_CALL mode is incorrect (for example, one of the interlocutors is not heard), the ACR application developer recommends trying a different source. These recording sources may work differently on different devices. On my Samsung smartphone GalaxyS3 DUOS default source VOICE_CALL is functioning properly.

Speaker - this option is available if MIC is selected as the audio source. It automatically turns on the speakerphone during a call. The developer warns that this option may disconnect Bluetooth communications with other devices.

Recording via Bluetooth - if the option is active, calls will be recorded when a Bluetooth headset or external speaker is connected. However, this option does not work correctly on all smartphones.

Bluetooth audio source- voice recording source when a Bluetooth headset or external speaker is connected. This option will become available if you activate Bluetooth recording:

Available values: VOICE_CALL, MIC, VOICE_DOWNLINK, VOICE_UPLINK, VOICE_COMMUNICATION. If the recording in the “Default” mode is incorrect (for example, one of the interlocutors is not heard), the ACR application developer recommends trying a different source.

Telephone call records are records of incoming and outgoing calls that are serviced by a cellular operator. Getting your phone records is quite easy. But here's to get the records mobile phone another person, such as a family member or an unfaithful spouse, is much more difficult. This article will tell you what to do if you really need these records.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: How to Access Your Phone Recordings

Check your accounts. If you receive a cell phone bill every month, it will most likely include records of your calls and messages from the most recent billing period.

• If you don't have a strong need for these records now, but think you might need them in the future, keep them in a safe and secure place.
• The recordings will include certain standard information, including the date, time the call started, duration of the call, and (sometimes) special features that were activated during the call (such as call recording).

View call records from your phone online. Many telephone companies give their subscribers the opportunity to access the same information you received in the form of a bill on the telecom provider's website. For this. To see your entries, you need to have an online account.

Register an account on the operator's website mobile communications, if you haven't already done so. You will have to create a unique username (sometimes a phone number or email address is used as the username) and password. This process will go faster if you have all your account information at your fingertips.

Once you've logged into your account, look for a section called "Call Information" or "Call Log." If on home page If you don't see a similar option, you may need to look for a heading that says "Maintenance." Be aware that with some companies you will only be able to find out about outgoing calls. If you need a full report on phone calls(including incoming calls from telephones that are no longer in service), it is possible that you may not receive such records.

If you have lost the recordings that were sent to you or cannot find them online, then call your mobile operator. They are required by law to keep such records and provide them to the person who can prove they are the primary owner of the account.

Since your cell phone service provider should have provided you with this information in your monthly statement, they may charge you a fee for re-providing this information.

Method 2 of 2: How to Access Another Person's Phone Recordings

Please review legal restrictions. If the account is not associated with your name in any way, in a simple way You won’t be able to get another person’s records (even calls from your spouse). If you receive records without the consent of the account owner, they will be considered invalid in court.

Check your payroll phone records. If someone constantly calls you or you suspect that the person with whom you share tariff plan, makes inappropriate calls, then all records will be on the bill for cellular services.

Often the recordings will be divided into incoming and outgoing calls. Less organized entries are merged together, but will still contain a list of outgoing and incoming calls.

View call records online. As in the previous case, telephone companies must have records of all incoming and outgoing calls that were made to and from the number registered to you. Whether you want to track which number is calling from someone persistently stalking you or are interested in the conversations of your spouse or children, you can mobile operator There are posts that will be useful to you.

In order to access call recordings on the operator's website, you will first have to create an account.

After you log into your account, find the “Call Information” or “Call Log” section.

Call your cellular service provider. Ask them for a new copy of the records if you can't find them any other way. They are required by law to keep such records and provide them to anyone who can prove they are the primary owner of the account.

Be prepared to provide personal information, which will help a customer service representative identify your account, such as your account number or mobile phone number, current home address and phone number, and the last four digits of your Social Security number.

Obtain records through a court petition. You can obtain telephone records of an estranged spouse as part of a court case by requesting this information from mobile operator through petition. This is a legal method of obtaining cell phone records that your lawyer can use in court.

You can only obtain call records through a petition during a court case or divorce. Usually the petition must be approved by the judges, but this depends on the type of proceedings.

An alternative to subpoenaing is to purchase phone records from a data broker, who charges a fee for it. These brokers often operate businesses of questionable legality (depending on the methods used to obtain these records), and the resulting records will not be admissible in court.

Warnings

• Data brokers often obtain call records by fraudulent means by calling a cell phone provider and pretending to be the person whose records they want.
