Lociloci has developed a mobile-phone tracking technology that enables you to track mobile phones on the move. We do this by identifying the closest mobile phone transmission mast. In some cases data is collected via the in-built GPS in smartphones. This technology works with all mobile phones, from modern smartphones to any old GSM-phone, without the need for you to download an application or install anything on the device.
With a Lociloci account you can easily position all your friends, colleagues and family members.
To locate your friends you need their consent. Consent is given by SMS'ing LOCILOCI START back from mobile phone to be tracked. Consent to track a mobile need only be given once.
Yes, all mobile phone brands and types are supported. Your friends need a valid Finnish mobile phone number to be located by you. The phone needs to be turned on to transmit location data.
Did you also know that you can log in to the service on many of today's modern phones and tablets to see where your family members and friends are.
Lociloci uses cell masts to calculate and locate the whereabouts of a mobile phone. What determines the accuracy is the cell mast density in the area where you are locating. In densely populated areas, like central Helsinki, cell masts density is high, where as in rural areas cell mast density is low. In other words, mobile phone accuracy can be as precise as a 100m in central Helsinki and as inaccurate as 10 km in rural areas around Finland. With phones with in-built GPS the accuracy can be improved but at the cost of battery life.
To give you a good representation of the accuracy, Lociloci shows a circle depicting the area a person is likely to be found in as well as a calculated percentage on the location accuracy.
Lociloci is available in Sweden, Finland, Norway and the UK.
The service is separated by country. With a Finnish account you can only locate a valid Finnish phone in Finland. With a Swedish account you can only locate a valid Swedish phone in Sweden.
However, you can log in to your account from any location. If for example you are abroad you can log in to www.lociloci.com and locate your friends who are in Norway.
For the service to work you will need send an invite to that person and get their consent before you can locate their mobile phone.
The following SMS invite will be sent to your friends: "NAME (number) has requested to locate your mobile. Reply LOCILOCI START to accept.". Consent is given by your friend replying LOCILOCI START back from their mobile phone. Consent to track a mobile need only be given once.
It is strict regulation that requires that you get consent via SMS before you can actively track a mobile phone.
Locatees and locators can be "invisible" on Lociloci by clicking once on the "Hide my position" button under Settings (gear symbol) in the service.
