Hello everyone,
So this is my first time writing here, but I really need your help. Since my parents installed this app on my phone, I have no more privacy and it is really annoying me.I can't just delete it because they'd notice and just install it again. So, isn't there a way to like, hack this app? (the name of the app is Mobile Fence)
Thank you so much in advance.

>>1 So, can't you just keep the app, but disable its permissions in your phone settings? Once they figure out the app isn't working, show them you still have it, and convince them it's probably a faulty app.

I just came across TunnelBear. Check it out maybe.

Can you buy a unexpensive feature phone to use it secretly ?

If you want to keep your phone, you can tunnel your Internet traffic trough a service like Tor.

Then, in some countries, you can use e-mail-texts bridges to send texts.

I'm looking at a solution for the calls.

Btw, like you didn't gave them permissions, I fear it can be considered as spying.

Solution #2 : use your landline to call friends, your home computer as much as you can, or buy stamps (the least convenient solution).

Tell your parents that you would rather don't have a phone than being overwatched.
IMO, I often do spend days without knowing exactly where my mobile phone is. And I can find other solutions.

Do you have free texts ?

I'd like to code an app to send tremendous qts of them (sender), and an app to filter them (receiver, that your friends have but parents don't), so that it can overwhelm your parents with texts, but your friends just receive what you send them.

My parents tried the same thing on me. I've looked at the app, and it seems like it has a 20 day free trial. Do your parents pay for it, or are they using the trial? If they are using the trial, then just wait until the twenty days are up. If not, disable permissions and delete files associated with the app, without actually deleting the app itself. I tried this on a similar app my parents used, and it makes it go haywire. If it has administrator permissions, (and these kinds of apps usually do) then remove it from the list of administrators as well. Also, if they are paying for it, constantly delete it, and show them that they will not receive their money's worth. Even if they yell and scream at you to keep it up, just continue, and eventually they will give up. Good luck!

The guardian project has an extensive apps collection to encrypt your communications.

Maybe, they lack a SMS encryption service, but you can find such an app very easily.
