And secondly, they just record information from your mobile, and only a special court order will be able to listen to it.
However, as it turned out, spyware formobile thing is very common. Even popular operators, such as MTS, can not give a full guarantee that such a software will not be installed on your phone.

Hot battery. Try to touch the battery after a long time did not talk and did not use it at all. If the battery is at least a little warm or hot, it means that even in a state of calm it worked.
Unusual device activity. When you turn off the phone can long "slow down" or refuse to turn off at all. It may also be that he arbitrarily turns on and off the lighting, by themselves programs and applications are installed via the Internet.
Interference with other devices. If you are talking on the phone close to the TV, and the screen is noisy, you can be sure that your phone is listening. But in this case, it's better to check their availability, just by bringing the phone to the TV without using it.
Extraneous noise. The phone that is listening is not very good for communication. You will constantly hear echoes, extraneous sounds, voices or even clicks. Perhaps this is just a bad connection, but if this happens all the time, it's worth thinking about.
