The first sign of a swapped SIM is often a stranger's number on the phone bill — weeks too late. This notification tracker app emails and texts you the moment something changes on your child's device: a new SIM, a flagged word, or a step outside the school zone.
You can't watch a phone all day. These are the four changes worth interrupting your afternoon for — the ones TheOneSpy pushes to you without being asked.
The moment a new SIM goes in, you get an email with the time it happened. A swapped SIM is often the first sign a phone is on a second line.
Add words that worry you — a slang term, a name, a place. When one is typed or received, the alert names the app it appeared in.
Draw a zone around home, school or a friend's house. You get a timestamped alert the moment the device enters or leaves it.
Choose which phone activity alerts reach you. They land by email and SMS, so you know something needs a look without opening the dashboard.
All eight alert types come with every plan. Switch on the ones that fit your child's age and leave the rest quiet.
