Cell Phone Tracking

07/14/2009 3:11 AM

Did you know you can search people via Mobile Phone Tracking?

Do you worry where your children are? Are you anxious if they stay out late? Do you have elderly relatives or friends who need keeping an eye on? We all have loved ones or family who may get into difficulty or go missing. So why not get peace of mind by using mobile phone tracking to locate their mobile number.

<...Do you worry where your children are?...>

If so, then it would be irresponsible for a parent not to go with them, then!

"Big brother is watching you."

With mobile phone tracking, one can only tell where the phone is, and not necessarily where the user is. Some jurisdictions place restrictions on the use of this sort of information on the basis of impingement of personal liberty. It is currently not lawful to do this in the UK as a private citizen, for example.

"You're never alone with a mobile phone."

And there are still people to be found that do not use them! Why is that, one wonders?

Many thanks. Where I stay, it is expensive for an individual , only coporate organisations can comfortably afford it and mainly for vehicle tracking.

cheers,

Whatever your reason for this strange message, tracking someone via their cellphone could be considered stalking if the "trackee" was not aware, or did not want you to know their location. I think it's not legal, too.

Will your next post have the rest of the sales pitch?

i think cell phone tracking is bad why do you need to know where the user is you could just call them.

Why would one want to know where somebody is?

To know how far from you they are to avoid surprises.

The truth is you can be tracked at any time, in the United States anyway it is only legal for law enforcement agencies and search and rescue etc. to access the phone's built-in GPS tracking software.

Several companies are offering software that can be downloaded into compatible phones that will do the same thing. They're promoting their service for use in keeping track of employees in vehicles, children or following a friend or relative on a cross-country trip.

I personally have mixed opinions about the technology. I'm not sure I would want to work for a company that wanted to put tracking software in my company phone, on the other hand I usually cheated myself on time, and if they were paranoid about their employees I would be happy to charge them via their record records.

One thing's for sure big brother can know where you are or where you've been anytime they want to. Sooner or later they will probably start issuing speeding tickets from recorded data.

Here are a couple of links to the sites I'm referring to.

Hello Guest:

I would imagine you could, provided the phones are compatible with the software. I'm sure if you check the links there will be more information on their sites as to that.
