Features of the service "Locator"

The first thing you should know when connecting to the service is that you cannot “follow” someone unnoticed. Personal life is personal in order not to let all the curious in it. That is why, before you start tracking the location of a particular person, you should get his consent. It is very easy to do.

In the Beeline service management menu “Locator” there is a corresponding item “Find a subscriber”. Here you need to add the number of the person you need, following the prompts in the instructions. After that, a message will be sent to his mobile phone notifying you of your desire to track his whereabouts. It looks like this: "The subscriber [your phone number] is asking for permission to watch you." If a person agrees to this, he should send a response SMS message with the word "Yes." Otherwise, you won’t be able to play the role of “detective”.

Naturally, if this is your minor child or elderly parent, then you can perform these steps yourself.

By the way, new users are given a free period of 7 days, during which you can familiarize yourself with the service and decide on its use.

To begin, consider how to connect a Beeline Latitude. It is very easy to do this: just call 09853 or send an empty SMS message to 5166. The service will be connected. You will use the same number (5166) to send the corresponding commands.

What you need to know when connecting to Latitude

Of course, for many, the new offer from Beeline will seem interesting and very useful. And this is true, if not for the series "BUT".

1. The first drawback is the errors in the work of Locator. So, when determining the location, inaccuracies are possible in the range from 250 m to one and a half kilometers. Sometimes such errors are very significant.
2. The second drawback, or rather, a limitation - within one user (from one phone number), you can monitor no more than five close ones / friends at a time. However, the way out of the situation is as follows: remove one number from your subscribers list and add another in its place (you can do this regularly).
3. The third caveat - you can determine the location no more often than with an interval of five minutes. However, this is not such a long period of time - you can wait.

Some attribute the disadvantages to the fact that to determine the location of a subscriber, you must first obtain consent from him. This is not surprising, because many connect this service in order to track where their soulmate or subject of interest is located. But think about it, but would you like to become an object of observation without your knowledge? Obviously not. Therefore, this rule is rather not a disadvantage, but the advantage of the service.

Summarizing

For some, the nuances listed will be significant when deciding to connect a service, but for someone they will not seem so important as to refuse to use such a useful service. On the whole, the new offer from Beeline - Locator - can be called a really good idea, especially for those who care about the safety of their loved ones.
