The Hold Invader is one of the most unique and unusual telephone surveillance devices to become available in years. The Hold Invader was originally developed and manufactured for a U.S. federal investigative agency for their agents' use as an investigative tool. It has proven to have the potential to acquire important information in a timely, unique, and warrant less manner, that might otherwise be unattainable.

So what exactly does the Hold Invader do? Quite simply, the other party on your telephone call thinks he's on "hold", but in actuality it's a "phantom hold" and in fact his phone has been effectively turned into a super sensitive room bug! Investigators can use this unit to achieve devastatingly effective results when they believe the other party is not alone at his location. They will proceed to ask a question or make a provocative statement regarding the desired subject, and then say something like "I've got another call coming in, can you hold for a minute?". It even has a "call waiting" sound simulator built in that you can use first. Then the unit's "hold" switch is activated. The other party hears the distinctive "dead" sound of being on "hold" and has the nearly universal (but totally unwarranted!) feeling of privacy. They have no idea that the Hold Invader's sophisticated amplification electronics have effectively turned their phone into a super-sensitive room bug! They may be conversing freely there, very likely about the topic you just planted, having no idea that you are listening to every word said. And you don't need to worry about the other party hearing you while the Hold Invader is activated, since it automatically cuts off your phone's microphone while activated.

In addition to the wide range of law enforcement and investigative applications of this device, it also has extensive business-related potential capabilities. For example, during price negotiations over the telephone, if the other party has to consult with his associate in the room before he can quote their "best" deal, wouldn't it be interesting to hear what their bottom-line position really is? The key is simply to make sure that you put them on "hold" rather than letting them put you on hold. You will likely be amazed at what people say while they are on hold! (And it's usually about you.) The unique Hold Invader is now available commercially for the first time. Powered by one 9v alkaline battery (not included). Installs in seconds between the phone and the handset (not compatible with phones with dials in the handset portion). For lawful use only.
