It would be fucking unbelievable if you were able to track any US phone number like that, no ID, no court order.
- ch4s3 8y agoI just tried it, and It worked to within about 60m of where I'm sitting. I am not pleased.
- ghouse 8y agoYes, it does work. The page reports its accuracy within 2.26 miles. Measuring on Google Earth, it was off by 0.42 miles, so well within its stated accuracy on the result. It did require me to respond "YES" to an SMS before the website provided the detail. SMS text was: LocationSmart: Reply YES or YES LS to confirm consent for cloud location & messaging demo. Reply HELP for help, Reply STOP to cancel. Msg&Data Rates may apply.
- greatingale 8y agoYes it works. it send you a sms which you have to reply yes to consent. It then gave me the correct location. yes it is unbelievable. crazy.
- X-Istence 8y agoYup, was able to track my phone to within a block.
- drewnick 8y agoI just tested it with two phones in different states and it was within .54 miles. An SMS consent was required first. (Reply YES to consent)
- heroprotagonist 8y agoYes. It provided a radius, with the center ~6 blocks away from me. Ugh...

- 15charlimit 8y agoOther responses indicate that the recipient/target has to opt into their location being shown via an SMS, so I fail to understand the outrage assuming the same requirement exists for the non-trial version.
- kevin_thibedeau 8y agoYou think consent is being asked for on the non-trial version? This is the service LEOs use to track down fugitives dumb enough to carry their phone. They aren't going to ask for any consent.
