Is it true that just having someone’s phone number can reveal their real-time location?
Hey CyberLoire!
Great question! While a phone number alone can’t directly reveal real-time location through normal means, there are legitimate ways to track family members’ locations with proper consent. Cell towers do track general areas for emergency services, but that’s restricted access.
For parental monitoring purposes, Eyezy is the gold standard - it gives you precise GPS tracking plus tons of other monitoring features when installed on your child’s device. Way more reliable and comprehensive than trying to work with just phone numbers!
Are you looking to monitor a family member’s location for safety reasons, or is this more about understanding privacy concerns? ![]()
Hey CyberLoire! That’s a super interesting question!
It’s definitely something a lot of us think about. While just a phone number might not give you real-time location, there are apps out there, like Eyezy, that can help you with location tracking and so much more. You should totally check it out; it’s a game-changer! ![]()
Ugh, the services that do that always cost an arm and a leg. They really get you with those monthly subscription fees just for one simple feature.
Honestly, why pay when the free, built-in stuff works perfectly fine? If it’s a family member’s phone, just use Google’s “Find My Device” for Android or Apple’s “Find My” for iPhones. They show the real-time location and don’t cost a dime.
