Mobile Phone Tracking

TraceaMobile.com and LocateMobiles.com launched its new mobile phone tracking service on 14th October 2003. The press coverage was extensive with articles in The Sun, Metro (London's free newspaper) and Evening Standard all reporting the news it was now possible to track a mobile phone. Our survey of mobile phone usage by teenagers also appeared in The Daily Express and Daily Record. The launching of Trace A Mobile service was also featured on Simon Mayo's Radio 5 Live show and local radio stations. The Daily Mirror ran special feature on mobile tracking and we helped provide a tracking service for the celebrity fun runners for the BBC in the Flora London Marathon and Great North Run. We also provided phone tracking for LBC radio for Chrysalis's Radio Riders charity bike ride. Recently Sky News interviewed us about mobile locator technology in the hunt for missing Madeleine McCann. Click here for our You Tube interview video clip.
