| 1. How accurate
is the service and can a mobile phone be traced even when it is turned
off?
The position shows the mobile phone's last known location (with an accuracy
of up to 50 metres*) based on a live feed, or the last known position
before going out of range* (Vodafone only*). Map scale adjusts with position
accuracy.
2. Do you send a text message to the mobile each time it is tracked?
No. We do send occassional reminder texts, but these are not when tracking takes place and do not need to be replied to!
3. Can someone
else trace my mobile phone without my permission?
No! Our mobile phone tracking requires you to agree to this before tracking
can be activated on your mobile phone.
4. Will I be
charged for a mobile tracking phone search even if tracking fails?
Yes, this is the current policy of the network, but it may change in the
near future.
5. Will
other networks apart from O2, Vodafone, Orange and T-Mobile be supported?
We hope to be able to offer the service to Virgin Mobile and 3 customers
in late 2008.
6. Does
mobile phone tracking technology work outside of mainland Great Britain/N. Ireland?
Not at present, but there are plans to offer international mobile phone
tracking at a later date. Other countries offer GPS tracking eg Mapmates http://www.mapmates.com.au
7. Does
this mobile tracking service work on Facebook, MySpace or Bebo?
No. These are Social Network Integrated Friend Finder (or SNIFF) tracking services which are a different application.
8. What is the difference between your service and other tracking services?
Followus, Childlocate and Mobilelocate charge for bundles of tracks whereas we offer free traces with our monthly subscription.
