Urgent question
I have a customer who has an "at risk" teen and needs to get a phone or some other GPS-type device that she can give to her daughter without her knowing she has it. She needs to be able to identify where she is if she leaves home and possibly gets herself into trouble. While Sprint has a program called Kid Finder or something like that, she is worried about her daugheter turning off the phone or being out of range and not being able to find her. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a device and/or service that will accomplish this? Thanks so much....

If her daughter is an at risk sort, she make wish to also consider professional individual and/or family counseling/therapy sessions to uncover her daughter's root for the at risk behaviors.

They both support the i415. They also support other phones but the i415 is the cheapest I've seen. If they get another phone be sure to check they are supported by these sites FIRST! For the money it's the best bet in the short run. Also inexpe...
