If you have a Sprint cell phone, you might be interested in learning about a very helpful service that Sprint has made available to their customers called the Sprint Family Locator. This Sprint cell phone tracker application is just what the doctor ordered when it comes to keeping track of your family members. Let me tell you how the system works. All Sprint and Nextel cell phones are manufactured with GPS receiver chips in them. Because the cell phones already have the GPS chips in them, Sprint figured out a way to make a system that would be able to access the chip and use the cell phone as a GPS tracking device.
If you sign up for the Sprint Family Locator, it will cost you $5.00 a month and you will be able to track up to four cell phones. They will, however let you try out the Sprint Family Locator for free for 15 days to see if it’s something that you would like to use. When you sign up for the Sprint cell phone tracker service, a text message will be sent to each of the phones that are on your account notifying them that they are now able to be located with Sprint Family Locator. After the phone receives the text message, you will know that the phone has been activated with the service and you can begin tracking it with the Sprint cell phone tracker.
To use the system, all you have to do is log into the Sprint Family Locator web site with your password and you will instantly see the location of the cell phones in your cell phone tracking network. It should be noted that the cell phones must be turned on and the cell phones must be in a Sprint service coverage area in order for the cell phone tracking service to work.
