FlexiSpy, iPhone, and Call Intercept

[FrankRN]

Hi,

My teenage daughter has an iPhone 3Gs on which FlexiSpy ProX is installed. One of the (purported) features of the software is the ability to listen in to live phone calls. However, when I attempt to connect to a call in progress, she is notified of my attempt by the call waiting tone. This causes her to look to see who is calling. As soon as she moves the phone away from her face to look at it, I get dropped from the call (Flexispy only works when the screen is idle .... moving an iPhone away from ones face while in a call activates the screen).

Additionally, the call conferencing box comes up (the one asking if she wants to place the current call on hold and accept the new one) showing that I was calling. Also, my call to her is placed on her call log.

This is neither stealthy or effective. Not only am I able to stay conferenced in to her call, but she knows I am calling and I am running out of ridiculous reasons that I was calling her.

I contacted FlexiSpy and was told that the "Call Waiting Tone" is a network feature and they referred me to my carrier (T-Mobile). However, all carriers send notification of an incoming call when the user is on the phone (if call waiting is activated). What exactly would be the point of call waiting if there is no notification that a call is waiting. Prior to the iPhone, I used FlexiSpy on a Symbian based phone (still with T-Mobile) and did not have this problem.

Any ideas?? Am I doing something wrong? Seems useless to have a feature allowing yo to listen in to a call when the user is notified of this fact AND you get dropped from the call when they look to see who is calling ...\

Thank for any help.

Hi Frank,

I've been able to get confirmation from Flexispy's tech support, and unfortunately this is indeed a known issue with T-Mobile and the way the iPhone handles the calls. They said that they are currently working on a fix for it.

I pressed to find out what date the fix would be released, but they could not give a definite date.

Wish I could give you more info, but this is all I could dig up.
