Anyone here uses Globe Tracker?

My recent story about locating a lost phone via cell triangulation drew a few questions about its accuracy, including some privacy concerns. This reminds me of the service offered by a local telco for tracking a handset called Globe Tracker.

Globe Tracker has been around for a couple of years now but it’s pretty useful in some cases.

Basically, what it does is provide an estimate of the location of an active phone number and its user. The Tracker website also provides a map for reference. It’s not very accurate but can be as close as a few meters of the actual location of the phone.

Globe charges Php2.50 to manage the account over SMS or the website and an additional Php5.00 per inquiry for a location.

Even if the phone is already turned off or dead, Globe Tracker can still provide the location where the phone has made its last transmission (tried it just to be sure).

You will need to have your number enrolled into Globe Tracker before you can use the service.

    Where else could anybody get that kind of information in such an ideal way of writing?

    such information.

    Omg! I didnt stop from there, i tracked again at 1240am i got the same answer and lastly at 620am. The reason i did it continously despite knowing my was already home was to check if globe tracker would give the accurate location but it does not.

    Yes folk icould attest to that wrong tracking location made by globe tracker. Actually im tracking my wife secretly, i registered her without her knowlegde, im been using the service since 04. The service is not accurate all the time, the worst tracking happened sometime in march last year. Ive tracked my wife, as per globe tracker, my wife is somewhere in ultra complex, pasig its about 10pm then well she should be home by 9pm in bacoor, cavite. Again i tracked her 11pm, same location was given, quite worried, i text our yaya and she replied my wife was already home by 830pm

      Maybe your yaya was just covering for your wife? You should have called your landline in Bacoor, Cavite, to be sure that your wife was really there.

    Hindi naman accurate ang globe tracker na toh. nagtrack ako ng isang number na nasa malabon ang result na binigay nila nasa quezon city daw yung number na pinatrack ko. kaya hindi din ito kagandahan. hindi sulit yung binayad pang track.
    :(
