Interesting idea for professional spying

Looks can be deceiving. The Sony Ericsson K700i in front of you may be more than a simple harmless mobile phone. It could be a device which records every single word you say and sends it to a number for someone to listen in real time. Scary thought.

Any respectable spy will manage to turn apparently common objects into devices meant to help them do their job of spying on people. There actually is a company which provides this type of equipment for wannabes and professional spies too. Spycatcher has added in their list of gadgets the Sony Ericsson K700i spy phone too.

This does not mean that all such devices are just waiting to hear everything you say in order to send the information further to another number. It is the case only with handsets coming from this company which provides spy equipment.

Actually, the concept sounds as a successful one. Nobody would suspect that the phone lying on the table during lunch break is actually a transmitter for the conversation that colleagues are having during their lunch break. The spying equipment looks just like the real thing, so nobody could ever tell the difference between a normal Sony Ericsson K700i phone model and a fake one.

The phone lets its owner dial a hidden number that only he knows and have the device automatically start using its microphone to transmit everything which is going on nearby. Aside from this, the handset comes with all the performance specifications of a regular Sony Ericsson K700i phone, which means that there are no drawbacks in owning it instead of the original version.

The spy phone Sony Ericsson K700i is available from Spycatcher for the estimated price of 140 pounds in the UK. The company's website also holds a large number of several other devices which are designed for spying activities.
