Find Location by Phone Number

I was receiving threatening texts and I couldn’t make them stop no matter how hard I tried. I used Scannero to find the location of the phone that was sending the text messages. It turns out it was my neighbor. I confronted him and ensured that this didn’t happen again.

OK, so my kid wanted a phone, but we don’t like the idea of a data plan. She’s 11 and really doesn’t need it. That’s an extra charge I really can’t afford every month. She’s fine with Wi-Fi. But we wanted to be able to find her location when she’s at the playground. Scannero works great. I just text her and she taps a link. Since she doesn’t need to have a data connection, it works amazing.

I love the fact that this anonymous. I want to know. But I don’t want them to know that I know.

My elderly father lives with us. It’s really great to have him at home and our kids just adore their grandfather. He likes to take them out for ice cream and other grandfatherly things every now and then, but his mind isn’t as sharp as it used to be. We use Scannero to find out his location. It's helped us on many occasions and we can’t thank you guys enough.

So my son was travelling the world and wanted to take a cheap phone with him. He didn’t want anything with a data plan because he was on a budget and didn’t want the extra cost. On day 4 of his tour, it had been 6 hours since he landed, and I hadn’t heard from him. I used Scannero to find his location. He was at a hotel and I knew he was safe.

As a practicing lawyer, my clients often ask me if there’s a legal way to find out someone’s location just by punching in their phone number. I tell them that as long as the person on the other end authorizes the location request, it’s perfectly legal in the jurisdictions in which my clients live. Scannero only works if the person you want to track agrees to share their location, so I have no problem recommending this product to them. I use it myself with my kids.

I didn’t think this app would work. I was skeptical. But I needed a solution to help me feel good about what was happening between my wife and me. She works late a lot and there’s definitely a trust issue there. She swayed once before early on in our marriage. Not cheating or anything, but connecting with an old boyfriend and lying about it. When I get suspicious, I use Scannero to check in and make sure she’s at the office. She has the power to tell me where she is, so she always knows that I’m requesting her location. She uses it too with me when I travel on business.

It’s easy to use and great when you’re in a pinch and can’t install an app on their phone. My only complaint is that by the time I received the location information, they had already picked up and left. Still, the general area of knowing where they were was helpful.

My location notification went to my junk folder, so I didn’t know that Scannero found their location until 3 hours later when I found it (I guess my mail program thought it was suspicious). Other than that, I really enjoy it.

Great app. Works as promised. I had a few problems getting my Mastercard to work, so I’m taking off one star. But my backup Visa worked well.
