What Phones Work With Cell Phone Trackers?
August 3, 2010 – 9:49 pmThere are a lot of people who haven’t heard about cell phone locator technology. Most people are aware of law enforcement or government officials being able to track a cell phone for official cover purposes but many are unaware that it’s possible to track a cell phone for civilians as well.
Believe it or not, it’s not only possible but it’s free and easy. And the year 2009, Google launched a new cell phone tracker program called Google Latitude. Latitude Works with Google’s amazingly popular on line service called Google Maps to make use of modern day cell phones GPS receivers to track people with their cell phones.
If you were wondering if your cell phone will work with this technology, let me give you a list of currently supported cell phones.
- Windows Mobile 5.0 cell phones
- Symbian S60 cell phones
- iPhones, iPad Touch, and iPad
- Sony Ericcson cell Phones
- Google Android Powered cell phones
- Color BlackBerry cell phones
This is a list of the cell phones that are currently supported with this free cell phone locator application. If your phone isn’t on the list, don’t worry, it will probably be added to the list soon. When this application first came out, only a couple of phones were supported but it has become so popular that more and more cellphones are being added to the list of supported devices all the time.
To give you an idea of how popular it has become, in the first week alone over one million people downloaded, installed, and started using the Google Latitude cell phone tracker from their cell phones. There are currently about three million users who are using their cell phones to track their friends, family, and business associates with their cell phones.
In order for a phone to be able to work with the service it either must have the software free installed on it by the manufacturer or you must have a programmable smart phone that allows you to download and install apps on your phone.
