8 tips to catch a cheater using a cell phone.

We've all thought of the mainstream ways to catch a cheater using a cell phone: look through recent calls, check text messages, check open apps and look through contacts, but is that all there is?

No.

The following are 8 more ways or more thorough ways to look for evidence:

1. Contacts.  Is there a secondary list?  Click on each contact, are there multiple numbers for the same person?  Is anything starred?  Is there anything to show a code or other secret marking by a name?  Perhaps something to do with his/her work?  If you have the time, copy each name and number and double check them yourself.  My ex included lots of dummy numbers to make it harder to find the real ones.  He also marked each mistress under the code name Bob.  
2. Apps.  Look through his apps for any that are known for keeping secrets or social sites like hangouts or path.  Apps like Vault keep notes, pics and other secrets.  Vimeo allows users to send videos that no one else can see unless they have a password.  There are apps that will make the screen disappear if shaken, making it easy to erase a text if about to get caught.  Those are just a few, so be sure to check on the newest apps out there.
3. GPS.  There are multiple ways to take advantage of gps.  1) Use a gps tracker app such as Friend Finder or the Find My Iphone app. 2) If you have access to his phone go to settings-privacy-location services.  If it's turned on you will be able to see where the phone has been, if not, turn the services on to check on later.
4. Texts.  If a text comes through his phone you can swipe the text dialogue to the side and that will allow you to respond to that one text.  Of course, this is only useful if you happen to see an inappropriate text or one from a friend that you want to verify information from.
5. Your cell phone.  You can use your cell phone as a spy camera.  Set it upright in an area where you think you can get the best view.  There are lots of directions online on how to use your cell phone as a remote camera so I won't go into details.
6. Your cell phone as a gps tracker.  If you know he is going somewhere he shouldn't be hide your cell phone in his car (be sure to have location services on and volume off and well charged.)  Once he's back home retrieve your phone and check the locations.  If you are concerned that he might call you while he's out simply forward your number to the house phone or a friend's number.
7. Voice messages.  It's easy to listen to voice messages from another phone, let's say yours.  It needs to be a time that you know he won't answer his phone, other wise it doesn't work.  Dial his number, during the greeting either press * or # depending on who the carrier is, it will prompt for a password (hopefully you have it) enter it, you will be given options and directions including: listening to, deleting, forwarding and repeating.
8. Spyware.  I'm stating up front this is illegal to do with out his consent.  With that said there are lots of services out there for cell phone spyware.  Mobistealth offers different levels of service and costs and it does work.  Regardless of what any add states, smart users can figure out that their phone isn't "working right" and may do a factory reset which will wipe out the spyware, but not before you learn what you need to know.

Hopefully, these tips will help you find out if your partner is cheating or being faithful.
