This is a carrier in the USA (T-Mobile).
I did a quick search for the other 2 carriers using the term "[Carrier Name] Family Tracking" and Verizon and AT&T also seems to have it.
And according to https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/t-mobile-familywhere-app, it says:
FamilyWhere uses geolocation data from the T-Mobile network and is not affected by changes to device location settings.
So it appears that its using cell tower triangulation. Turning on Airplane Mode should stop it (assuming there isn't a separate tracking app on your phone)
Oh Wow, What a wonderful tool for abusive spouses and abusive parents. And telecom companies are making money off of it.
TLDR: Its a good idea to get your own separate cellular plan.

If we didn't have this, my kids would have a lot less freedom. Knowing where they are gives me much more peace of mind to let them roam further, and for longer than I would otherwise

️My kids don't even have phones, as they do not need them and they are unhealthy for the young brain's development.
I also don't use location services on my phones. Fuck all that tracking bullshit.

A cheap dumbphone could come in handy at almost any age* (calls, short SMS, especially in emergency situations). Though there is a possibility they wouldn't want to be seen with that. Kids will bully each other for whatever isn't a norm.
Anyway, preferably a simpler one. I used to spend hours each day on Java games. Really, the only thing that stopped me was headaches.* Almost any - you don't want a 3 year old calling 911 for fun

wrote last edited by [email protected]Find My and Google's device locator service exist, they're free and work without a carrier. Ik they're not that private, but you save money at least and they're more private than your carrier.

These are great services. Insane that they charge for them but there are great use cases. Sorry kids, but parents need to know where you are.

Oh yeah, that's what parents need... Do you need some medical help?
