A report in the Mint detailed various ways in which similar software were allegedly used by the Delhi Police in to intercept messages sent through WhatsApp and BlackBerry Messenger on 70 phones. These phones were put under surveillance as part of an investigation into the spot-fixing scandal in the Indian Premier League. While software like these have been around for years now, the proliferation of smartphones has made it even easier. A report in the Times of India said that many new devices have appeared on the horizon which make spying on phone calls even easier and manage to keep the telecom companies out of the loop.
The report says that a company called Trident Infosol provided a page brochure to law enforcement agencies in the country listing eight different gadgets which can be used to tap phones and emails.

In the United States, the FBI has used "roving bugs", which entails the activation of microphones on mobile phones to enable the monitoring of conversations.
Cellphone spying software [6] is a type of cellphone bugging, tracking, and monitoring software that is surreptitiously installed on mobile phones.

Preventative measures against cellphone surveillance include not losing or allowing strangers to use a mobile phone and the utilization of an access password. Another solution is cellphone with physical electric switch, or isolated electronic switch that disconnects microphone, camera without bypass, meaning switch can be operated by user only - no software can connect it back.
