SINGAPORE: SingTel has started a new service which will act as a location tracker.
The new service, Locator, will enable users to know the whereabouts of those whom they wish to keep track of.
SingTel said it will be useful for customers when they are away from their loved ones and need to make sure they are safe.
The service will display up to three SingTel postpaid mobile users' locations on the phone via a map. Accuracy ranges between 50 and 500 metres.
When customers add mobile numbers to their Locator list, a notification will be sent to the mobile owners seeking their consent to be located.
The person being tracked can choose to participate or withdraw his consent anytime.
SingTel said its customers have been requesting for such a service, which costs S$5.35 monthly.
