Mobile Phone Tracking Security Enhancement

August 18, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Mobile Locators.com - one of the UK's leading mobile phone tracking services has now added extra security features to its website service. All new online applications will generate a letter which is posted to the home address of the person setting up the tracking service.

"This is to make sure the person requesting the location is not using a fake address," explains Managing Director Jonathan Cook. "Although our service is primarily aimed at business users we feel we owe it to all our customers to make sure our service is the safest that we can make it and to comply with the latest codes of practice for mobile phone tracking services."

Sales of mobile phone tracking have been brisk, according to Cook. "Since launching in October 2003, we have signed up thousands of customers who are both family and business users. We have also covered major sporting events, like the London Marathon and the Great North Run for the BBC, who wanted to track the location of celebrity fun runners, such as Nell McAndrew and Ranulph Fiennes, who were carrying mobiles. All of this has generated a lot of media interest and publicity."

Business users have been quick to spot the advantages of mobile phone tracking to find people on the move. Obvious business benefits include being able to track the location of deliveries, eg van drivers, or monitor sales reps or staff on call outs. It is even being used to retrieve stolen assets where a "tracked" phone has been placed somewhere out of sight inside a vehicle acting as a passive "phone finder" unit."

The service recently featured on SKY NEWS when the Portuguese police were rumoured to be using mobile phone tracking technology to eliminate suspects from their enquiries regarding the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. "Soon after Madeleine McCann went missing we started to receive a lot more enquires from parents wanting to protect their children which is why we feel these extra security measure we have put in place should help put parents minds at rest."
