Birkett Enterprise Ltd

Earlier today, Phonelocator Periodic, Birkettt Enterprise’s phone tracking application, smashed through the 50,000 registered users mark. This success is thanks largely to the applications prominence on the Nokia ovi store. Currently, new user is registering every 28 seconds! More stats can be found here.

Ronald from http://www.comprax.nl/ has successfully integrated his web page with the Phonelocator periodic JSON API. The results and .php source code can be found here: http://www.comprax.nl/phonedemo/

Phone locations can be retrieved from the Phonelocator periodic server in JSON format if their locations are set to public. The phone’s ID is specified in the following url: http://periodic.phonelocator.mobi/locations.json?handset_id=1091 (here the id is 1091) The phone’s ID can be discovered from the “Updates” link on the “My Phones” page on the http://periodic.phonelocator.mobi site.

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:

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.
