Fantastic Features of Our GPS Trackers for Kids
Text to locate
The parent texts a message to the GPS tracker for kids to instantly receive the GPS co-ordinates back. This can include a link to Google Maps, so if you have a smart phone, you can instantly see the location on a map. Otherwise, you can enter the coordinates into Google Maps on the internet.
SOS button
When pressed on the GPS tracker for kids by your child, the GPS tracker sends a text with “Help Me” and the location co-ordinates to the mobile phone numbers programmed into the trackers emergency memory. These can be modified whenever necessary.
Remote Listening
An inbuilt microphone allows the parent to be able to call the tracking device, and listen in to what’s going on in the surroundings.
Two-Way Call
An inbuilt microphone and speaker allow the parent or child to call one another to talk. For the child, this is a simple push of the button. Up to four buttons can be easily programmed to call specific numbers – and calls can also be received.
Online Tracking
With a data enabled SIM card, our GPS Trackers for Kids can be tracked online. We give a full step-by-step guide to getting your free account set up, and configuring the GPS Tracker with the right settings. You log in using the Tracker’s specific ID number, so only you will be able to see the GPS tracker’s location. More detail about online GPS tracking can be found here.
What Else Do You Need for the GPS Tracker for Kids?
As well as the GPS Tracker for Kids, you also need a SIM card – the small cards which slot into mobile phones. This allows the GPS tracker for kids to “send” the location via a text or to receive a phone call from you. After purchase, as well as being able to download your manual, you can opt to receive a free SIM card from us. The tariff is excellent – just £5pm for 300 texts and one hour of call time – plus 20p per day if ever decide to use online tracking. However – you can use your own SIM card as well – the GPS tracker for Kids is not locked to any provider.
The cost of calls and texts used by the GPS tracker for kids is the only extra cost you will pay.

Limitations
It’s important to be aware of what GPS trackers for kids can and can’t do. From reading this guide, you should have a good idea of how the technology works – and how it can be utilised in various situations. However:
- GPS trackers for kids aren’t always able to send a location indoors – your child will need to be outside, near a window or in a car for the tracker to locate itself.
- GPS trackers will obviously not transmit a signal if the batteries are not charged, or if the device is switched off.
