Sprint Offers Family Locator Cellphone Tracking

7 May 2006 357 views No Comment Print This Post

Sprint recently launched its Family Locator cellphone tracking program, entering the growing market of GPS-based cellphone surveillance products. Sprint has apparently engaged in value-sensitive design of this service: The child is notified by a text message each time his or her location is provided to the parent or guardian. This level of transparency is absent from most other tracking systems.
