"Geosearch" "Tele2". How to use the service? Connection features and reviews

Every quarter, the mobile operator launches a new useful service for its subscribers. Tele2 geosearch allows you to find out the location of the company’s client and track the route on the map. The service is convenient in that the option can be activated for one day, having only a mobile phone at hand. Activation is available via SMS; if you get lost, geolocation by Tele2 phone number will be determined within a minute.

The locator allows you to identify where your relatives and friends are; geosearch is also popular among older people who have health and memory problems.

Feature Description

Before using, we will have to think about what we will be working with. In general, as already mentioned, this is a way to search for a particular subscriber on an interactive map, a kind of locator that allows you to determine the location of a person.

True, Tele2’s Geosearch has its own distinctive features. For example, you can search only for subscribers of a given telecom operator. And only those who are within your home region. Search cannot be performed while roaming or traveling. So you shouldn’t hope for any unlimited possibilities. Nevertheless, this very convenient service from the Tele 2 operator will allow you to find the subscriber on the map at any time.

Using the service via computer

You can view the location of the person you need on your computer through the Tele2 website. The page that opens immediately displays a map of the country. After activating his number in the upper left field, the subscriber is taken to the tracking page.

The phone number that needs to be tracked is entered into the window, and a map with the phone’s location is displayed on the screen.

The error in a populated area is up to 400 meters, in a region with a small number of operator towers - up to 1 km. To reduce the error by 98%, it is recommended to connect the “Geosearch+” option to the monitored phone.

Conditions

To be honest, not all subscribers like the conditions for providing this opportunity. After all, MTS has more humane and interesting offers. However, you have to put up with a huge number of restrictions.

For example, as already mentioned, you cannot search for subscribers who are not connected to Tele2. It is also impossible to detect on the map people who are roaming or even outside your region.

Please note that it is not free. You will have to pay 2 rubles per day for it. Plus, traffic while displaying the map and location is also paid. But according to your tariff plan. Now Tele2 wants to enable the ability to work with Geosearch without traffic tariffs.

But there are also positive aspects to working with this service. For example, only those who are looking for people pay a subscription fee. And “Geosearch” provides the ability to determine your personal location. That is, you are able to find yourself on the map. This is a convenient option if your phone is lost or stolen.

Subscription fee for the service

The operator has developed two services for determining location by phone number: geo.tele2.ru and Geoplus. The difference between the options is that the Geosearch+ application can also be installed on the phone of the tracked user for greater accuracy of transmitted coordinates. The option is similar in functionality to, it allows you to quickly find a person. Location is tracked more effectively if GLONASS is activated on the smartphone, which transmits data via satellite.

The subscription fee and terms of use of services are described in the table.

Dial 611 on your phone and wait for an answer. Next, let us know that you would like to connect Geosearch to your phone.

User reviews

Katerina

A convenient option that allows you to determine the location of not only children, but also your husband. This way I always know whether they are at school or skipping classes, are at home, or whether my husband really went fishing. The only inconvenient thing is the daily fee. On the one hand, it seems to be an inexpensive service, but on the other hand, a good amount still accrues in a month. It would be more convenient to pay for requests.

Anton

The main disadvantage of the service is that it does not allow you to accurately determine the location. Addresses quite often do not correspond to reality. It is especially inconvenient at the dacha, where the error is simply a record. The children are on a nearby street, and the message indicates that they are in a nearby village. In general, you can use it, but I don’t recommend trusting the data received. Suitable for overly restless parents.

Adding numbers
