I’m looking for a basic cheap mobile phone for my son who will be attending secondary school. Smart or non smartphones.
Can you recommend an app &/device that can allow me to track or see where the phone owner is? This is so that I can see where my son is when he’s with the phone.
All info and web links please.
Many thanks

Hi Cisco001
I’m looking for as cheap as possible. Under £10. It might have to be more if I’m going to install the tracker app.“…the ‘insatiability doctrine – we spend money we don’t have, on things we don’t need, to make impressions that don’t last, on people we don’t care about.” Professor Tim Jackson

IF you want a tracker on a phone it needs the following:
- Data plan
- GPS
-Smart (obviously)
- and a big battery or the GPS and data upload will kill it very quickly.0
