How do I send a tracking request via SMS?

Sending a tracking request via SMS with GeoPhone Tracker is simple and straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Log in to Your Dashboard:

   Log in to your GeoPhone Tracker account on the Dashboard.

2. Search for the Phone Number:

   Enter the phone number you want to track in the search field provided. If you’ve previously searched for the number, you can find it in the History section.

 

3. Initiate the Live Location Request:

   Once you’ve selected or entered the phone number, navigate to the Profile screen associated with that number.

 

4. Request Live Location:

   On the Profile screen, click on the button labeled “Request Live Location”. A pop-up window will appear.

 

5. Compose Your Message:

   In the pop-up window, you can choose a pre-written message template or write your own custom message that will be sent along with the tracking link.

 

6. Submit the Request:

   After composing your message, click on the Submit button to send the SMS to the phone number.

 

7. User Consent and Location Sharing:

   The SMS sent will include a tracking link. When the user receives the message and clicks on the tracking link, they will be prompted to consent to sharing their location.

 

8. Receive Location Information:

   Once the user consents and their location is captured, GeoPhone Tracker will send you an email notification containing the precise location details.

 

9. Monitor Request Status:

   You can monitor the status of your location requests under the Live Track tab on your Dashboard. Each request and its status will be displayed, allowing you to track multiple requests over time.

That’s it! You can send tracking requests multiple times as needed, with each request consuming one credit from your GeoPhone Tracker account.
