WARNING! This application is intended to be used only for private and legal purposes. It cannot be used for violating anyone's rights, spying or other illegal purposes. User of SMS Monitor takes all responsibility for using this application in any illegal use cases.

Remote configuring and command format

SMS Monitor can be configured remotely using sms-commands which are sent from administrator number (number to which all messages copies are sent to). This sms should have following format:

Administrator number specifying:

Set admin – this command should be sent right after application installation and activating. Please use mobile which you wish to use as administrator mobile for sending this command. After that all messages will be sent to this number. Please make sure that sms with this command is deleted from monitoring phone automatically. It would mean that everything is ok and application can be used without any problem. You can always change administrator number by sending command Set admin number where “number” is your new administrator number.

Remote switching application state:

On – application functional is turned on (this state is used as default just right after application install and specifying administrator number)
Off – application functional is turned off

Specifying list of contacts from which sms messages should be sent to admin number :

Add sender +79161234567,+79031234567,+79261234567 – after receiving this command SMS Monitor will send you copies of sms sent to and received from numbers +79161234567,+79031234567,+79261234567. Please provide 10 or less numbers per command message. You can send as many Add commands as you want. All numbers will be added to list. SMS from number which are not in list will be ignored. “Add” command switches off default (sending all messages) mode. All numbers should be separated by comma (“,”) without any spaces. Please do not put any additional spaces or other characters to the end of the message. If you want to monitor messages to and from just one particular contact this command can be used as follows:

Add sender +79161234567

Please note that all numbers should be provided in international format with “+” and country code.

To switch SMS Monitor back to default (sending all) mode use following command:

Add sender all

Removing numbers from contacts list:

Rem sender +79161234567 – this command would take place only if there is a list of contacts specified by “Add” or “Set” commands. If you want to remove all numbers from list use following format:

Rem sender all

Reseting list of contacts:

set sender +79161234567,+79162345678,+79163456789 - the main difference between this and “Add” command is resetting old list with numbers +79161234567, +79162345678 and +79163456789

Remote incoming/outgoing calls blocking:

Block on - blocking is on

Block off - blocking is off (used by default)

Important notes

All configuring commands are non-case-sensitive. It means that command “Add sender +79031234567” and “add SENDER +79031234567” are equivalent and valid. But it is very important to remember that each word in the command is separated from other with just one space (“ “)mandatory. All phone numbers in commands are separated with just one comma (“,”) without any additional spaces or other characters. At the end of the command should not be any spaces, commas or other characters.

Right after install of the SMS Monitor it is recommended to specify administrator number using “set admin” command.

SMS Monitor receive all configuration messages in hidden mode without sound indication. But it is not guaranteed in some cases when sound indication can start and suddenly stop. But all configuration messages are deleted automatically right after receiving. Please make sure that you send configuration message from administrator number.

Right after install and admin number specifying application is ready to work in default mode.

In some cases if vibrating alert is turned on phone can vibrate while configuring message receiving.

All messages are sent with specifying direction (outgoing/incoming) and sender/recipient of the sms as follows:
Message text Fr:+79161234567
Hereby +79161234567 – number from which incoming message has been received on target phone with SMS Monitor installed
