Telstra - Whereis Everyone

by: admin Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

It seems to be a week for Telstra news. Telstra has launched a new service called Whereis Everyone. Designed to let family and friends see each others position on maps sent to their mobile phone. The service also can provide alerts at particular times of days.

“People can benefit in a variety of situations like checking the whereabouts of family members, co-ordinating meal times and activities, meeting up with friends in town or after work, or even seeing the location of a lost or stolen phone,” said Ms Maclellan Telstra Executive Director, Consumer Marketing and Channels. Maclellan added “A great example is the ability to see if your kids are on their way home from school. Or if you have friends that like surfing, you could see what beach they are at - there are many different ways people can use Whereis Everyone to find each other.”

Whereis Everyone uses Telstra’s AGPS and network positioning. Users have the option to go invisible excluding themselves from being located while they must accept an invitation to share their location before proceeding.
