Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Nextel / May 2004Using i730 GPS to track daughters phone
With our daughters permission, we're researching a way to use the GPS function on her phone as a location device (I won't go into the reason she's requested this). Anyway, specifically, a way to use the internet, via a website for example, to locate and track the location of her phone. She has an i730 btw. Is there a service/way for us/her to do this? __________________________________________________________________________ People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs. -Unknown __________________________________________________________________________ Remove "die spammers" to email > With our daughters permission, we're researching a way to use the > GPS function on her phone as a location device (I won't go into the > reason she's requested this).

Wow. That was a really really cheap shot. It was totally uncalled for. Seek help. It's amazing what total a.sholes some people think they can be hiding behind a keyboard. __________________________________________________________________________ People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs. -Unknown __________________________________________________________________________ Remove "die spammers" to email > Wow.

Children have NO privacy other than what's granted by the parents. As long as the parents have the responsibility, they'll have the authority. I have kids. They'll do what I say. And if I want to browse through their stuff or put a GPS on the cell phone I'm paying for or the car I'm providing, that's my business. If they don't like it, they can move out and become responsible for themselves. Amen To That!!!! DR > > > *She* was the one that asked if it was possible.

In the case of the GPS, she noticed that there were more and more reports in the news of teens being abducted in broad daylight, sometimes right in front of their houses. One thing she almost always has with her is her cell phone. She knew that the phone had a GPS because it was one of the features we pointed out to her when we got it for her. She asked how it worked and we explained it to her. The original question she asked was if the GPS could find her phone if she lost it or got it stolen. The conversation eventually led around to her saying it would be a good way to find if her something happened to her. However, we didn't know if it could actually *track* the phone, hence my original question. However, I agree 100% that a kids privacy pretty much ends in the bathroom. There are several studies conducted recently where kids said that they wished their parents were more strict with them and involved themselves with their lives on a parental level and not at a "friend" level. IMO, if parents were more strict and monitored their kids activities more, there wouldn't of been a Columbine or the numerous copycat incidents since. Many parents have stopped being authority figures and instead, just "senior members of the household who just happen to have kids living there too." __________________________________________________________________________ People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs. -Unknown __________________________________________________________________________ Remove "die spammers" to email > In the case of the GPS, she noticed that there were more and more > reports in the news of teens being abducted in broad daylight, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > The original question she asked was if the GPS could find her > phone if she lost it or got it stolen. Great, she would only have to convince the kidnapper to let her keep her phone. How long do you think before the kidnappers would strap the phone to a dog and then slap it on the a.s? (or maybe even turn the phone off?) There is only one proven way for your daughter (or yourself for that matter) to effectively protect herself. Buy her one of these and teach her to shoot it: http://www.gunsandammomag.com/ga_handguns/perfect_pocket_protection/ Face it, when the chips are down, a cellphone, the police, or even a GPS chip in her a.s isn't going to protect her. When people start fighting back against the scum of the world, only then will it become a better place to live. Until then, your daughter and others like her will just end up a statistic. > Great, she would only have to convince the kidnapper to let her keep > her phone.

I'd be afraid to count on something like that, simply because the phone is the first thing they'll take from her. They may use it, they may throw it in the river. Who knows. There are wristwatch-type devices that do exactly what your daughter is asking for. I see them for sale at Micro Center. They're big and bulky and ugly, but there you have it. Abductors probably won't take the wristwatch away like they will the cell phone. Previously in alt.cellular.nextel, "Elmo P. Shagnasty" <elmop@nastydesigns.com> proclaimed : >> >>I have kids.

Well, I've taken martial arts for over 10 years, learned to shoot many weapons in the military and I sure has hell never had anyone try anything funny with me. Maybe it's time I got her involved in both. Someone who can take care of themself usually doesn't have to do anything anyway. People can tell just by the confidence they exude not to mess with them. __________________________________________________________________________ People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs. -Unknown __________________________________________________________________________ Remove "die spammers" to email > <snip> > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > and ugly, but there you have it.

Not for monitoring purposes, but for the same reason one chips their dog!

You are better off getting her an ATM card and have her carry a receipt that says she has plenty of money in the bank. Set it up so only a certain amount of money can be withdrawn at one time. The bank can tell YOU right over the phone just when and where the card is being used. I have personally done this with my 15 yr. old to teach her how be responsible. The bank has told me exactly when and where she was using the card with no special procedure other than a request over the phone speaking to the bank manager. She calls me when she is out of money and I transfer more to her for spending allowance. I always know where she is and what she is doing while she is living with her mother.
