Chaperone Question

wnrussell

Aug 5, 2006, 4:07 PM
The Chaperone program was released earlier this year as a 'Child Locator' to work with the MIGO phone and another Chaperone capable phone.

Is the MIGO still the only GPS 'trackable' phone that you can use without getting into the business solutions, like Field Force manager or Fleet Manager?

Yes... the Migo is still the only phone you can use to spy on someone. 😛

You mean with Chaperone. Field Force Manager or Fleet Manager work with a number of phones, don't they?

Yes, but only the kids MIGO is the transmitter. The other phones can track the MIGO, but not the other way around.

You can't for example, track a V with a RAZR.

Don't believe everything that you are told... I assited in the development of Chaperone and as of right now, the MIGO is the only phone that can be tracked. The other phones listed can track the MIGO, but cannot be tracked. Soon, you should be able to use this on any phone, but for right now, the MIGO is the only trackable phone...

If you're right, the VZ website needs to be updated:

Chaperone(SM) lets you easily locate your child's Migo phone from your Verizon Wireless phone or PC - in real-time, at any time.

Chaperone(SM) with Child Zone(SM) lets you define a zone - a specific area, such as a school or summer camp. When your child enters or leaves the zone with their Migo phone, Child Zone will automatically send an alert to your phone with the time and location of your child's phone.

mitchell1 is wrong and thanks for putting that on there i was about to copy and paste it myself (see other post correct information). I think mitchell1 is confusing 'trackable' handsets with what handsets can use the 'parent application'.

if you would read the original question that would be great before you give out false info like you did mitchell1. TRACKABLE is the ?. u can NOT track any other phone than the migo right now. ANY text capable device thru verizon can get the alerts from child zone and the lg 4700 5200 6100 7000 8100 9800 moto 815 razr and samsung 950 970 support the PARENT APPLICATION.

Right now it's just the Migo that can be tracked. There will be other phones later this year or early next year that will be trackable. Marketing wants to get a phone that Middle Schoolers and High Schoolers would enjoy but for now it's only the Migo.

That's what I said in the first post. Why did someone change the title of the thread?

Yes:
What do I need use Chaperone?
To use Chaperone, you'll need a family share account with at least one line of service with the Chaperone subscription and one line of service with an LG Migo device with either the Chaperone or Chaperone with Child Zone subscription.
