AT&T FamilyMap for Spying on Wife/Kids

If you do make it to England and find yourself in the Woking area give me a shout and I'll buy you a pint.

I think you'll find we probably disagree on a lot less than you think!

I just might take you up on that! Was good having this discussion

After failing to get the application to register both my iPhones, I called AT&T. Per AT&T, this application will not work with Iphone. So is there any real reason to debate it on an iPhone website?

^it won't work with the iPhone?

Look at it this way it can be a Iphone locator too. If you loose your phone you can use this to find it.

I tried it out on my account and could track the iPhones on my account. They're all 3Gs on 2.2.1 and mine is the only one jailbroke (my dad, sis and gf aren't into that stuff they say).

The only problem I had with the findmyi.org service (which I did try) is that I could never receive calls! I'm never on 3G and the phone was always updating its location to the website over Edge and I had everyone leaving me voice messages that said "Your phone never rings, it must be broken". I probably had the update frequency set too often but I got frustrated with it and dropped it pretty quick.

As far as this service goes, I have a feeling that on AT&T's back-end this isn't any kind of major advancement. They've always been able to track your location (and pass it on to DoHS/NSA). Now they've just wrapped it up and put a bow around it with a website and monthly fee for us to use it too

I think I'll cancel the service when the trial is up though. I'd only use it to find phones that were lost/stolen and since there is no setup on the phone itself, I'd just sign up for it on an as needed basis.

PS. Thanks for the "thanks".

Can't you just turn 3G off?

I personally think it is ok the people complaining about it are probably the ones who are cheating on their spouses or significant others....that is why you complain, someone in the first page of this thread said "I paid for that phone I wanna know where its at." I think it is so true you bought it so track it...and its not invasion of privacy the Govt does it when you are always on it surfing or using your GPS on maps...So...???

I think its all depends on how it is used. If it is used with good intentions, then no harm done lol.
