| 11 | |||
| 12 | 1 | Alex | * Qualcomm-based Android phone (see list below) |

||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | The tests include an active part. First, your phone will place outgoing calls to a dedicated number. This number will always be busy and never answer in order to rule out voice charges as best as we can. |
||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | 5 | Alex | Second, your phone will send SMS short messages to an invalid number. |
| 41 | |||
| 42 | In some cases, we saw operators charging for these kind of transactions transactions. Hence, please have an eye on your phone bill when performing active tests using SnoopSnitch. |
||
| 43 | 2 | Alex | |
| 44 | To control for involuntary charges, we strongly advise the use of a dedicated pre-paid SIM card for these tests. |
