Cloned cell phone? How to find out quickly thanks to a code that will remove all doubts. Here is the procedure to follow and which saves us from possible risks.
We have the feeling that our smartphone for some reason may have been cloned and that someone manages to listen to our calls or read our messages? How many times has this happened to us at least once? When we have this suspicion, perhaps because we feel gods strange background noises or we find some messages read before we open the WhatsApp chat, we may suspect that something strange has happened to us.
Today, smartphone cloning is one of the threats that we must take into consideration, and unfortunately technology allows this hackers and experts in the IT sector to access our information with certain ease directly from our mobile phone. For this reason it seems of primary importance to pay great attention to the information we share with others, especially if it is extremely personal.
How to defend yourself from the threat of cloned cell phones
To avoid discovering that our mobile phone has been cloned, we can first of all implement some precautions that can avoid being intercepted by someone with bad intentions. Never lend your phone to strangers and when a fault occurs rely only on trusted personnel for repairs that cannot tamper with our device. For example, contact directly Apple for iPhones.
But let’s now find out in detail how we can find out if, after our suspicions, we actually fear that our mobile phone has been cloned by someone, remembering that the procedure applies to both Android and iPhone. The first step to find out is to enter the call screen and enter the code *#62*# and proceed. At this point, if done correctly a message should appear as waiting, you will arrive at a screen with a series of options which must all be disabled.
If even just one of these options appears activated, you must manually deactivate them because our cell phone has actually been cloned. The deactivation process is simple, that’s it enter ##002# on the call screen and then click on connect. This procedure will disable any forwarding on your phone and a screen will appear confirming this (Here we reveal some important measures to adopt on our smartphone to increase security and privacy).
The importance of security on our cell phones
If on the security screen we notice that there are other items enabled, we will manually deactivate them by always entering the code in the call screen *#62*# and always repeating where necessary until we realize that we have deactivated all the voices. Doing so as soon as possible will be very important for privacy but above all for our safety.
