It is so important for parents that their child is safe. This question is especially relevant in our active world, where the speed of processes is calculated not in minutes, but in seconds. Residents of megacities have it even more difficult - due to constant employment, parents do not have the opportunity to constantly accompany their children to school or clubs. How to find out the whereabouts of your child without bothering him with constant phone calls? For this purpose, there is the MTS Child under supervision service. We will tell you about the features of its work in more detail.
A child under the supervision of MTS: principle of operation
“Child under supervision” option can be enabled if the child often attends sections, goes to camps or to other cities for events. Through the service, parents will be able to view the team’s route of movement, where the child is currently located. If a child is absent-minded, cannot find the right way home, or often loses things, this function will also come to the rescue.
To clarify the location of a child’s smartphone or simple mobile gadget, just send a short SMS request with the text “WHERE THE CHILDREN” to the number 7788 . If it is inconvenient for a parent to constantly send SMS, there is a service called “Movement Notification” , which determines the location of children in real time. But before using the service, you need to connect it correctly, which we’ll talk about later.
Accuracy
In the central part of the city, the location of a person is determined with an accuracy of several hundred meters, on the outskirts - about 1 km or even more, in the suburban part of the area - the accuracy is several kilometers.
There is no need to install the service separately; it also does not require downloading settings. The only thing you need to check is support for the GSM function, without which the application will not work.
Child MTS login to the service and connection: via SMS and Personal Account
To activate the service, one of the parents or both of them must be MTS Russia subscribers . In turn, it is enough for the child to be a subscriber of the MTS Russia or Megafon operators. However, it will be impossible to determine the child’s location if he is in a 4g or LTE coverage area. In order for the notification service to work efficiently and quickly, it is better to switch the mobile device to one of the modes: 2g or 3g. The phone must operate according to the GSM standard.
Login and launch of the “Child under supervision” utility is done through the online portal of MTS Russia https://www.mpoisk.ru/family/ . If a parent has forgotten their password or Login, a text message “Login” is sent to number 7888. If the parent has been registered, then to enter the option page you need:
Write a message with the text “Dad + name” (for example, “Papa Vova”) and send it to number 7788;
Receive a response SMS notification with a verification password.
Sometimes it is necessary to involve not one or two parents, but also one of the relatives . To do this, an SMS with similar content and a code is generated. For example, “Aunt Anya 85 god ” . To register a child in the program, an SMS with the text “Child + Name + Phone” to the number 7788 . It looks like this: “Son Anton 7915ХХХХХХХ”.
To track the baby’s whereabouts, the following are available: mobile utility , SMS notification by number 7788 , Personal Account on the MTS Internet portal. As for SMS, parents can receive them when their child moves from one place to another. Connecting to the “Movement Notification” is available in the Personal Account interface, then select the “GEO-zones” . On the map of the area, houses, establishments, enterprises, or houses of friends - grandparents, relatives - are identified (they can be marked and named manually).
All actions are available to those parents who can log into the MTS Personal Account. GEO zones with the current location are also created there. But MTS has provided the ability to control the movement of children even without Internet access . “ZONE (NAME)” in the message field , and the name of the geographical point where your child is located will automatically come.
Enable the childcare option from a mobile device: send an SMS to 7788 with the text format “ZONE CHILD’S NAME TIME” . It looks like this: “GRANDMOTHER OLIA 10-20.” That is, it asks whether Olya stayed with her grandmother from 10 am to 8 pm. To deactivate the babysitting service , the parent must visit the MTS website, or send an SMS to 7788 with the text “STOP ZONE”.
Are there several children in the family? Then the parent should send an SMS to number 7888 with the text “WHERE THE CHILDREN” , or “Where + Child’s name”.
How to disable
If the option has become unnecessary, for example, the school holidays have started or one of the parents is on vacation and will always be with the child, then the shutdown is carried out in a matter of minutes. To deactivate, you will need to send the word “stop” to 7788. In this case, family data will be saved in the database, and the service will be restored immediately after the first location request.
If one of the parents sends a “delete” request via SMS, the service will be completely deactivated for the entire family. In the case where you simply need to remove one family member from the group, you will need to send a message and indicate “remove name” in the body of the letter.
MTS Child under supervision - login from the application and the Internet

It works with Android or iOS (version no earlier than 5.1.). The application is downloaded from Google PLAY or APPStore. Also, using the program, you can monitor incoming and outgoing calls, messages from your child and the status of his battery.

Clarifying the balance on the child’s account and replenishing it in a timely manner;
Ability to find a lost mobile phone.
It is important! The location of a child’s mobile phone is sometimes determined with slight errors. The SIM card is activated near the nearest base station, in a coverage area of 10 km.
About technology
Mobile operators have been using their equipment to calculate the location of an activated SIM card for decades. This helps law enforcement agencies identify people who have committed illegal acts.
This is an excellent search tool for finding missing people. In general, the location-based service uses the concept of the Potenot problem - determining the location of a point on the ground using three known landmarks. To do this, the following search methods are used:
- Cell of Origin – calculation of phone location by cell identifier. The simplest method, which does not require additional equipment other than a mobile positioning center. The deployment is determined by the radius and location of the three towers and their interaction with the SIM card. In a densely populated area with many base stations, the accuracy is about 100 m. On the outskirts - up to a kilometer. In villages – up to 35 km.
- Time of Arrival – estimates the response time of several base stations to phone signals. This method requires equipment modernization. But there is an effect, since the dislocation accuracy is reduced to 125 meters.
- Observed Time Difference - a method similar to ToA, but much cheaper in terms of hardware implementation. It consists of estimating the phone’s response time from the signals sent from the base towers. Accuracy is identical
- A-GPS is a global positioning technology that works through the GPS module in the phone and helps, due to the many satellites in orbit, determine the location faster and more accurately.
Various detection technologies can also be used using IPS - internal positioning system. IPS uses all kinds of sensors, sensors, modules, including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, to determine location. MTS subscribers can get access to these services for a few rubles per day.
