LiveViewGPS announced what it says is the world’s first prepaid Mobile Phone Locate Card that allows users to transform a cell phone into a 24-hour safety location device for families and businesses without having to buy a $100 locator or expensive apps.
Capitalizing on the state-of-the-art location technology already built into mobile phones to instantly locate single or multiple phones, the solution uses both Assisted GPS and cell network data to ensure “fast, accurate locates” for “discreet monitoring when and where it’s needed.”
In order to get started with this, you’ll have to first purchase a prepaid LiveViewGPS Mobile Phone Locate card either online or at a retail store. Then you should sign up at MobilePhoneLocate.com, select a locate plan and register the phone(s) you want to locate. An SMS text is sent to the target phone(s) requesting a reply, and once the phone user(s) opt in, the Mobile Phone Locate service is immediately activated. It’s that easy.
Now with a single click the target phone’s location is displayed on a map. There is no software to install, no battery draining app to download, no expensive devices to buy and no contract to sign.
The Mobile Phone Locate service is approved for use and works with a number of operators, including AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint PCS, Verizon, Boost Mobile and TracFone in the United States; and Rogers and Telus in Canada. More carriers and countries are coming soon.
