Wong Yee Fong, 35, who faced 26 charges, admitted to four counts of criminal breach of trust, two counts of cheating and one each of theft and fraudulent possession.
A district court heard that Wong, who was working in a spa, was a passenger in the victims' taxis when she used their phones on the pretext of talking to her maid or to a customer in October 2011.
When they were not paying attention, she would walk away.
