Wife gave me iPhone 6, Should I be suspicious?

[CarlTyson]

I was lucky to receive a iPhone 6 from my Thai wife. (She set it up with AIS, prepaid account.)

Am I being monitored I wonder?

[scubascuba3]

I'd say you pay her too much

[EyesWideOpen]

Yes. Take it to a phone shop and do a reload of the operating system of the phone.... :-)

Then you will be safe from tracking software. This software can show exactly where

you are, record every call and message, including programs like whatsapp. Pretty

scary stuff......

I don't want the Mia Nois fighting over it.

I was thinking of ways i could have a little fun if I do find out I am being watched.

From what i understand is if it has Maps installed then you can be traced.

If you are suspicious ,just turn it off and leave it somewhere , perhaps with a friend and tell her you have put it somewhere but can't remember where. See if she can locate it for you .

[maxtwo]

From setting go in to privacy then location services from their you can switch on or off.Go share my location and see if any friends can track you on the page that has share my location at bottom off Paige is system services tap on that and see if frequent locations is on if it is you can see list of every place you have been.

When the wife give you gentiles diseases that the time to get suspicious...

[asdecas]

When the wife give you gentiles diseases that the time to get suspicious...

"Gentiles disease"? Is that something that only non-jews contract? Should I consider circumcision?

[A1Str8]

Honestly? I would be. Just take it to the shop and change it to another one.

[SWW]

Reinstall the OS. That way it guarantees that the phone is not jailbroken. After that, you can not be tracked without giving your express permission (e.g. using Find My Friends or Find My iPhone).

[Emster23]

I guess you have to be circumspect, er scribed with those Gentile diseases. Should you be suspicious? Are you doing something to make you a suspect? "Trust: the basis of any failed relationship in Thailand".

[kinmaew]

Thais don't give gifts unless there is something in it for themselves.

[kamahele]

If you suspect such a thing from your wife, I would think you two should look for other spouses...

[IMHO]

If you suspect such a thing from your wife, I would think you two should look for other spouses...

Or, give up on the extra marital activities....

[USNret]

Turn off Find My iPhone, Family Sharing & Photo Stream. As others have said, reload the OS to make sure it's not jailbroken. Then review Privacy settings. You don't have to disable Location Services (otherwise Maps/GPS won't work), but limit which apps share location & you'll be fine.

What I would do... Find a taxi driver I trust & let him carry it around with him for the day. In the meantime, go out to a bar or cafe, hang out a few hours, and collect the phone from the driver at the end of the day. Sit back & see what happens.

This is interesting.

I would find a friend or other way to see who or what you know about someone who is going on a trip. Depending where you are, if up North find someone who is going down to Bangkok or some other distance place, if it is a friend ask him to take it with him. Then after if she says what you go to Bangkok for or if you are from Bangkok give it to some one who is going to Pattaya.

You will know then

A category of spy software or called stealth software can be installed. It doesn't show anywhere, you can't see it. Your actions on phone, SMS, calls, emails, chatting.... Everything is sent to who is monitoring you.

Some people above are talking about map etc... They simply have no clue of what they talk about like usual here in tvforums.

Only way is to reset phone like new.

Have fun

You fit in rather well then.James Bond.

[shaggy851]

Il buy it from you then you can go get a new identical one from mbk. Cant guarantee she will be impressed with your travels tho. So you didnt go to work you lounged around in ekkamai headed to a pub around 33 then spent the small hours of the morning at soi 4 or maybe patpong1? Thatd fix her up.

[Ming Mueng]

Yes!!!!!

[KamalaRider]

Thais don't give gifts unless there is something in it for themselves.

Not true, my wife won some money on the Thai lottery, she bought me a gold chain necklace for that money.

A Thai cop asked me once what English football team I thought would win in a football match, I gave him my very uncertain answer and also the scores and the team I thought would win, won, with the exact score I told him, he gave me a single malt whisky bottle (1 litre) afterwards, he even tracked me down where I lived, in order to be able to give it to me.

[transam]

Hmmmmmmmmm, hope she don't keep a gun in the house............. ......................

[CarlTyson]

Thanks all for the helpful responses. And some excellent ideas for giving her a little runaround

Questions:

1. Will a iphone reset wipe out any spyware?

2. Since she bought the AIS SIM, is it possible AIS can forward SMSs or data to her computer?

[sead]

AIS has nothing to do with forwarding anything. A reset will take away all spyware.

To use iPhone you have to register onto

iPhones icloud with email. So if you haven't done that with your own email / account then do it. You can reset mobile in settings and thereafter register account of your choice. In icloud you have gps that shows where you are and if she have 2 mobile phones registered on same account she can sync with yours and she will know all contacts and history of visited websites.
