Partner tracker ad

This ad just came up again on the telly.

Basically it's a service where you send a phone number to this mob, and they'll tell you exactly where your 'loved one' is.

I can't see this having very many non-creepy applications. Is it even legal?

maybe if you had a child who was lost would be legit ... saw this ad like it, but basically if someone (such as girlfriend) is lying to there whereabouts you can track them down ... then confront them

Check the disclaimer in small print at the end of the ad. It basically admits that the partner tracker is a load of shit and that all they're doing is sending you an animated screensaver that just looks like a Partner Tracker. Oh, and that they'll send you other shit a few times a week and charge you through the nose for it.

k...the technology is available though ... as the police use this to track mobiles etc


JRB  said about 1 year ago:

Yeah, but you don't get the technology through premium text services that advertise during weekend fishing programs.

You pay for a simulator, that's all. Waste of money.


Block  said about 1 year ago:

It would only worth buying if you had a partner to track, Sir Jock. And maybe not even then.

I'm giving your comment a wide berth, voxy.

do your love astrology text messages work too?


MATTPHEONIXxoxoxo  said about 1 year ago:

The fake ones dont. But there is actually some numbers that use real life clairvoyants who can predict your love match perfectly. I know because i typed in my name mat and my partners name mats right fist and it sent back a love score of 100% ..so i hit my fist up for some action and it fucked me all night!


chipswithgravy  said about 1 year ago:

Can't be fucked reading up in the thread, and somebody has probably mentioned this before, but you can really track peoples' whereabouts using mobile phones. The cost of a trace is usually quite expensive, though - something like $2 a pop wholesale price - which means very few people have managed to make a profitable enterprise out of it. I think it uses triangulation - basically locating the handset by measuring the response time between the phone and three different transmission towers.

As far as I'm aware, there's no way to initiate the service without having access to your partner's/stalking-victim's phone for a long period of time. They send you an authorisation code at a random interval, so you can't just do it while person X is in the shower/bathroom/dungeon.


chipswithgravy  said about 1 year ago:

hi black wasp.

it's a screen saver that looks like a tracking device.

hope this helps.

yes about you ...


voxylady  said about 1 year ago:

I'm not a lost child!


Block  said about 1 year ago:

It's that time of night again...


voxylady  said about 1 year ago:

My poor boyfriend is dying of hunger at home.


Block  said about 1 year ago:

Does he know where you are, Voxy? Maybe he should sign up. And if he gets that x-ray one, can he come round and show it to me?

shakes head in disbelief...


Block  said about 1 year ago:

Aargh, now it's ads for lesbo porn and that creepy dude from the Silver K Gallery.
Think that's the signal for bed time.

Yeah dude, look, we've all seen Independence Day.
