Now you can find the location of anyone with a Glo line or alert others when help is needed, using the newly launched Globacom Family & Friends Finder. User privacy is fully protected, as only if there is consent the other person can locate another one. If a person doesn’t provide consent, one cannot be located by others.
By using this Glo exciting innovation, you can give yourself peace of mind about the safety of your family members and friends.

What’s your take on this service?
Nice innovation there. Can now track my boyfriend easily..lol
lol.. that's if he accepts. Besides, he can HIDE.
Yes, it's cool especially since the other person will have to approve the request. The SOS commands makes alot of sense too.
Yes. The SOS command is so cool.
I hope this won't cause problem in some relationships. Imagine a scenario whereby the service tells a boyfriend that his girlfriend is around one hotel… 😉
lol..that's for relationships without trust and understanding
Is the approval free?
Yes, approval is free.
Chei, cheating wives don die
lol..why na?
Can it work when the persons phone am trying to track is switched off? Nice concept
I don't think so.
