Now we just need to get the parents to learn how to text message...also good for keeping track of seniors and anyone else for that matter with critical health issues.....and the phones need to be web - enabled...BD 

Launched in April 2006, Sprint Family Locator is the industry's first family location service that enables families on the go to locate one another using GPS technology. Parents can login on their phone or a PC to locate a child on an interactive map, even when the child is using their phone to make a call or send a text. The service also gives the address, surrounding landmarks and accuracy of the child's location within a specified radius, along with the ability to click to call or send a text to the child directly from the service. image

Additionally, the service enables a parent to set Safety Checks(SM) at certain landmarks such as a school, home, or relative's house, at specified times. The parent is automatically notified whether the loved one is near the specified landmark at the set time, providing "hands-off" peace of mind.

Sprint Family Locator is available for $9.99 per month. Unlimited location requests for up to four phones and access to the service from a PC and any Web-enabled Sprint phone are included in the monthly charge. For more information or to sign up for and purchase service, customers can visit www.sprint.com/familylocator.
