Follow Me, Follow You: Couples Tracking Service
Trust is obviously an issue in many relationships. Is she really with her friends shopping and did he really have a business meeting go late? Sometimes even with the best of situations, you can still find yourself wondering… are they really where they say they are.
In Hong Kong, you don’t have to worry anymore. A service that allows individuals to sign up and be tracked on their mobile phone, has been quite successful in putting people’s minds at ease.
With over 10,000 subscribed members, “Follow Me, Follow You” costs about $28.00 a month and offers subscriber unlimited searches to track the other subscribers through their mobile phone signal.
Although we introduce the service as a way of tracking for worried couples, many people use the service to do much more. Parents can watch their children and others use it to monitor their elderly parents. Some couples use it just to be able to find each other in a densely populated city that holds 6.9 million people.
The service requires both parties consent.

If this tracking device,is used for monitoring elderly parents,or your kids,than it’s a reasonable factor. Using it to track one’s spouse for reasons of mistrust,is a sad scenario. The relationship won’t last.It’ll cause more suspicion,and paranoia.

Yeah, I’m thinking that if you already have to use something like this just to keep an eye on your spouse, your relationship is already falling apart.
Still, sounds pretty hand for a lot of other things. I got lost one time looking for my friends in New York City, so this would have been pretty useful.

We have this kind of service in sweden aswell… since the year 2000…
For free, you only need the permission from the owner of the cell, and its good to go.

If your phone service provider has installed the “service” in the basestations, then you can be traced in case of an emergency. The emergency center can look you up in reel time, and they dont need permission to do it if u have called them or if you are reported missing. But it suxx if u have a mobile phone operator that dont have the service and your lost.
Btw:
I was wrong before, it were free when the service arrived, now days it cost about 25 cent/scan.

I think it’ll be of better use for senile people out on their own or younger kids. But to spy on your partner…. ZzZzz where’s the trust?!?!

Of course it only tracks the cell phone, not the phone: You can just give your phone to someone else and still be unfaithful, or whatever. I agree that a relationship that needs this kind of service is FAIL anyway.
