Plug the phone into a charger in the area you want to record.

You can leave the phone face down so nobody suspects anything, but it's better to hide it behind plants or somewhere inconspicuous.

4

Leave the room and act normal.

If you have a suspicious expression on your face, then people may think something is going on.

5

Call the phone when you're ready to spy.

Since nobody will hear it ring, nobody will know you're listening.

Listen to the conversation.

Try to stay quiet, and be especially careful not to press any buttons on the phone that could be loud enough for others to hear through the headphones.
