It is the same number. I did try another test. I entered only the last four digits of the trigger number instead of ten digits. Now it works, but the phone rings once first, and displays the caller info, then answers on its own, then goes back to the home screen and leaves the call up. That's an improvement, but I'll certainly know whenever the trigger number calls!

I've not had the opportunity to test the program on BES. It could depend on
the trigger number that you have activated. Can you check that the number
you entered is the same as the one that appears in the caller ID when a call
is received?

When the phone is restarted, PhoneSnoop is reset and does not listen. This
is by design. Occasionally you will experience that the phone will not pick
up. I have come across this behavior on a few rare occasions. The program
is experimental and may have bugs such as this. I have no immediate plans
to fix it.

The fact that the ringing is intermittent depends a lot on the current CPU
load of the BlackBerry. Typically, I designed the program to ring. Of
course it also depends on your ring tone. If you have a second or two of
silence in the beginning it won't ring.

The steps you describe to activate PhoneSnoop are correct.

this happens to me as well! Somethimes it works, and other times it just rings like norma, almost as if it is undependable. Unless I am doing this wrong:

i download phonesnoop onto the persons phone of who i would like toe avsdrop (lol) - at this point we are jsut figuring it for fun but hey!

then i type in my last four digits of my phone number as a trigger on that phone and hit activate

and then i call from my phone and bob is my uncle?

I installed Phonesnoop correctly but sometimes phone ring and no longer auto answers though trigger number is still there and need to be reactivated.
And when the BB is restarted trigger number disappears.
Any ideas?

I downloaded and installed PhoneSnoop on my 8320 running 4.5, which does go through a BES. I could not get this to work. I enabled all available permissions, including key injection. Yet when I make the call, the phone rings normally, with no indication that PhoneSnoop has done anything at all.

Any ideas?

If the BES admin has locked down his policy by denying access to permissions like “Phone” and “Input Simulation” then PhoneSnoop will not work. Additionally, if the BES admin applies the policy where no Third Party applications can be installed, then PhoneSnoop will not install on the BlackBerry. Otherwise, PhoneSnoop will function as normal.

I would like to know if the phone snoop would work for corporate configured and adm (to the corporate server outlook) without being detected …BES
