The Phonelocator web app and ‘daemon’ have been released under the business friendly, Eclipse Public Licence allowing 3rd parties to integrate Phonelocator tracking clients with existing services and build new domain specific tracking applications. The web app and ‘daemon’ are available here.
Birkett Enterprise can provide bespoke tracking applications, based on the Phonelocator tracker, for integration with your service that support GPS, Wifi/CellID location and SMS integration. Please contact us for more information.
Thanks in part to being added to the Nokia Ovi Store, Phonelocator periodic is now getting around 1000 new users every day, see the screenshot below:
The new version of Phonelocator, Periodic, has been Symbian Signed. The web app is still in alpha, but you can try it here.

- Automaticlly SMS a buddy when the SIM card is changed
- Remote settings modification via website
- Wifi / Cell ID locaiton
- Improved registration
A new version of Phonelocator was demoed at MWC in Barcelona back in February. It has some new features:
- Trigger updates remotly using SMS messages
- Automaticlly SMS a buddy when the SIM card is changed
- Remote settings modification via website
- Wifi / Cell ID locaiton
- Improved registration
Rather than recording a trail of where the phone has been, the new version periodically sends the location of the phone to the server. This reduces the effect of Phonelocator on the phone’s battery life.
If your interested in testing the new version of Phonelocator and you have a S60 v3 FP1, v3 FP2 or v5 phone, send your phone’s IMEI to contactus@phonelocator.mobi. To see the IMEI, dial *#06#
Phonelocator is back on the Ovi store. More than 1200 new users have registered in the last week brining the total number of registered users to more than 13,000! There are more Phonelocator statistics here
Phonelocator was uploaded to the Nokia Ovi store a few weeks ago when the the publisher’s portal was launched. When the store went live this morning I was delighted to see that Phonelocator was available. Since then it appears to have been removed. If anybody knows why please drop and email to contactus@phonelocator.mobi
More than 10,000 people have registered to use phonelocator in the 8 months since its public launch! Phonelocator is used by around 250 different users every day. You can keep track of phonelocator statistics here
Phonelocator service has now been restored.
I’ll be demoing Phonelocator on the Symbian Foundation stand (Fira Hall 8, 8A77) at Mobile World Congress at 16:00 on Monday 16th Feburary at 16:00. I hope to see you there.
