Mobile Phone Tracking

With the prevalence of mobile phones, its no surprise that mobile phone location tracking has become very popular. It’s become a useful tool for people to keep an eye on family (especially children) when they are out and about. It is also an inexpensive tool for employee tracking, so that you can be sure that your staff are where you need them to be. And there are clearly uses for surveillance too.
You can’t just start tracking anyone’s mobile phone (as much as you might like to!), as that’s clearly a privacy issue. Typically, you exchange a consent message with the tracking company, authorising the phone to be tracked. There are periodic messages sent to the tracked phone to remind the owner that the phone is being tracked.
For mobile phone tracking, I recommend FollowUs.co.uk, as they have low-cost, pay-as-you-go tracking, for as little as 25 pence a trace. There are different tracking companies in the UK, but my experience with FollowUs.co.uk has been exceptionally good. If there’s a problem, they are quick to fix the issue, and they are one of the cheapest tracking companies by far.
In the UK, the most accurate mobile phone network tends to be Vodafone. Tracking the GSM networks (as in mobile phone network), which is accurate to around 150 metres) is not nearly as accurate as GPS (satellite global positioning system), which is usually to within 5-10 metres. However, the extra cost of GPS prohibits the cost for most private individuals and small businesses.

Give Mr Tracker a go if you want to track a cell phone or locate a lost or stolen phone.i’ve had fot about 4 months works well on my iphone, you might have to pay for it about 9 dollars , unless you can get for free on the internet/
Also Buddaway is another software but you need GPS for it.
Mr tracker is the software you can get from http://www.mrxsystem.com it also works by IMIE , dont ask me how but theres more info at the site.

John you have been scammed and lost your money on this one….
Nick and thomas you’re telling fibbies… and you know it….,
Yes Stay away from this company is a scam MR TRACKER also known as mrxsystem.com, do your search. They are using bogus names to reply for a range of forums saying it works, but when you reply to say how none. I have sent countless emails requesting help but none. Check on you tube; they put other videos regarding phone tracking with their logo over the top. They have also disabled leaving messages on their You Tube videos. Don’t get caught like we have. I’m sure after this I will receive a reply saying it works but don’t get caught. They also have a You Tube video regarding their site but nothing, all bells and whistles. I phone users forget get it as well.
Tell me Thomas and Nick why I can’t log in. Why don’t they reply to my messages? I have a I phone and Nokia why don’t they have on their web site instruction to install answer that…. why haven’t they sent the instructions to my phone as requested… answer that…. why don’t you put a you tube video up on how to install. Because you can’t as it is a SCAM. Also why havent you replied to the post below you of others cannot install. You know why.!…

Tonnel, or should I call you Spyguy, or a range of usernames, no I am not a comptetitor. Wrong…. explain this…. On another forum by a moderator….
“You missed a few. A careful search using moderator powers shows at least 8 different usernames all posing as buyers/users, with technical evidence linking all of them to one or two humans”.
I will also mention that WHOIS shows the domain “mrxsystem.com” registered in Sierra Leone (west africa), with some very interesting (probably bogus) registrant details.
Finally, prospective users should consider whether this application can really work. It claims the cost is purchase price only so how does it pay for it’s operation and sending tracking data to a third party? The list of supported carriers includes GETESA (Equatorial Guinea) which I know from recent experience is a pure GSM carrier (supports voice and SMS only, no other data). That means there is No Way data can be sent to the tracker, except by either diverting the outgoing SMS through a third party, or sending extra SMS for tracking. That brings to mind the possibility of “snake oil, smoke and mirrors”.
end quote….
Bill, or should I call you a range of usernames, don’t reply saying it works when you know fully it is a scam. You are ripping people off.
Oh sorry Tonnel thats your other username on other forums but I keep to the same name will you…. thats how you guys work come on as different users…
Ok start telling me about their you tube video which actually tells you nothing. This will be good…. I can’t wait for the instructions…. And you dont need to tell me about how to install when I am very capable of installing a range of phone software thankyou. You cannot install this so called bogus software when it does nothing.
Spyguy or sorry Tonell… quote: I wonder if it work with apple ipad end quote… what was that comment…. it supposed to work with sms how does that work with ipad come on….
Give it up..
