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.
You can check it out here 478.

Thanks for some other wonderful article.
Where else could anybody get that kind of information in such an ideal way of writing?
I have a presentation next week, and I’m at the look for
such information.
but sometimes its really not accurate. i was tracing my husband globe tracker texted me that he was in marulas valenzuela but i heard him knocked on our door and we are located in caloocan
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.
Not accurate.dont even bother wasting your money on one of those Globe ripped off.Go ahead and try to track your own number.I tried to track my own globe cell phone number.I was actually at SM megamall .Globe tracker say I was in Makati area..Duhhh!!..What a waste of money!
hindi accurate ang globe tracker. nakakasira lang ng relasyon. sayang ang pera. lage nalang kame nagaaway ng partner ko dahil dito.
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.
