The current age is full of satellites and technologies, with which you can even determine the location of a person by his phone number. Surely you have had this thought more than once, haven’t you?
Parents and children
Currently, almost all mobile operators provide not only favorable rates for children and their parents, but also additional services. So, the operator "Megafon" offers a special tariff "Smeshariki". Agree, sometimes walking from school, a child can simply linger, playing with friends on the street. And at home at this moment his parents are waiting for him, in vain calling on the phone. The child is playing and does not hear the bell.
In this case, such a service will be very useful, with which you can determine the location by phone number. To do this, you just need to send the necessary request to the operator. The cost of the service is different for everyone, but it does not exceed 10 rubles. Money is withdrawn automatically, after which the phone receives an answer with the coordinates of the place where the subscriber is located.
Useful programs or another trick of scammers?
Needless to say, on the Internet there are intruders who are ready to grab other people's money, at least a dime a dozen. And they lure gullible users with a wide variety of tricks, which include a service that helps determine the location of a subscriber by number.
In fact, the use of such programs without the consent of the person himself is simply illegal. This is called invasion of privacy. Based on this, we can safely assume that most of the number tracking programs offered on the network are just a ploy to profit at someone else's expense.
Downloading a program that supposedly allows you to determine the location by phone number, you risk buying some standard utility of a regular bluetooth application.
The main tricks of scammers
Let's look at the most common tricks used by scammers to attract customers. First, you are described in detail the charms of this program, which can not only determine the location by phone number, but also create access to SMS and user calls.
You, seduced by such a fantastic program (and free of charge, too), are trying to download a file. As a result, you are only offered to confirm that you are a real person and send a simple SMS to a short number. Do not do this, you will just lose your money. After you send the SMS, you will be asked to send another message to make surethat it's really you and not a bot.
After sending such SMS, you may even be in the red. The most interesting thing is that for some mobile operators this service is simply not available. So, we figured out the short number for sending a message.
Another common option for downloading a program that helps determine location by mobile number is as follows. You are offered to download the file, and for free. And you really do it without problems. But it is impossible to activate, because the program either requires a key, or the installation file is missing. But in the notepad file you may well find a message. It details that the program is top-secret, provides screenshots showing how it works, and then you are offered to buy a key to it for 1000 rubles, for example. Plus given the address of the mailbox, where you can write and ask any questions about the program. But to install it, first pay the money, and then get the key.
Beautiful, but futile, because you never get the key. Still very often, scammers offer to pay half or a small part of the cost of the program, with which you can so easily determine the location by the phone number of the subscriber you need.
Do not be tempted by a small amount, there are a lot of people who want to buy such utilities on the Internet, little by little, and quite a decent amount is collected.
Smartphones with radar
Some specialized online stores offerbuy a bunch of various equipment that allows you to follow a person, listen to his telephone conversations, read SMS, and, of course, determine the coordinates of the place where he is.
There are both separate devices and phones with already installed programs, and such gadgets are no different from their originals. This is just understandable, if you decide to give a person a smartphone from Samsung, then it should match the brand as much as possible. Here's an option - you can buy such a gadget and just give it as a gift.
The cost of such devices will be two times higher than the originals. Even if you decide to buy such a “smart” phone model, be careful. Do they require 100% upfront payment? Think about it and don't do it. There are quite a lot of “one-day” sites on the network that offer a lot of specific equipment, and after a month the resources simply cease to exist.
Services of mobile operators
In fact, in order to know how to determine the location of a person by a number, just call the cellular company of your operator. Currently, there is a way to find the coordinates of a person quite legally and legally. To do this, you will have to send a request to your operator with the number of the subscriber you are looking for.
However, there is one big drawback in this method. You can get the coordinates that interest you only after the one you are looking forthe subscriber will confirm the request and allow the operator to use this service.
Radar option
Each mobile operator has its own name for this option, but its essence is the same. You send a request and get coordinates. It would seem that everything is simple, but not quite. When you send a text with the number of the subscriber you need, an SMS will be sent to that number, where it says something like this: “Subscriber number such and such has submitted a request to the operator to determine your location. Confirm request?”
Then everything depends on the actions of the subscriber himself, but it must be assumed that few people will allow you to use this option.
What are your goals?
This is actually very important. After all, it is one thing to try to determine the location by the phone number of a person who has disappeared somewhere or has been delayed, and it is impossible to get through to him, although he promised to be at home on time. And it is quite another to try to determine the coordinates, trying to catch a person red-handed if he is suspected of treason, for example.
Helpful tips
Before you start playing Sherlock Holmes, ask yourself one question: are you ready for what you might discover? For example, if you suspect a husband or wife of infidelity, and this is confirmed, what will you do? If you know the answer, then you can be happy for you. And if something just seemed to you, and there is no question of any betrayal? It may just turn out that a person just has problems with which he does not want to load you yet. Or is he really something of youhides, but only to give you a pleasant surprise.
In any case, before you start looking for programs to help you find a person, be aware of the possible risks and consequences for yourself. After all, as they say, whoever seeks will always find.
