Verizon Drops Family Locator Service to $9.99 For All Lines
Verizon Wireless are making their family location service accessible to those on a budget as they have dropped the pricing for Family SharePlan accounts. For a fixed rate of $9.99, you are able to keep track of any line on that specific account. Before, users had to pay $9.99 per line, something that could get really pricey with more than two or three lines.
Verizon’s Family Locator allows you to be notified whenever the people on your line (children, perhaps) go to certain locations, and you can even get turn-by-turn directions to where they are (requires VZ Navigator, a service you have to pay for). Go ahead and sign up now that the cost is lower than it ever has been.

03/20/2012
Verizon Wireless customers on a Family SharePlan can now add Family Locator to all lines on the existing account for only $9.99 per month. Staying in touch is a must when families are busy juggling schedules that include sports practices, carpools after-school activities and science projects. With Family Locator, the simple and secure service from Verizon Wireless, parents stay informed in real-time of their kids’ whereabouts when they might not have the time or chance to connect live. Now available for one low cost, families get all of the same features to help them keep up with any family member on the plan.
Family Locator is accessible from phones and PCs, and parents or account owners can set up alerts that let them know when their kids have taken their phones to different locations. With interactive maps and the integration of VZ Navigator®, customers get turn-by-turn directions to the address where their kids are located, making pick up a breeze. A subscription to VZ Navigator is required for integrated use, and data charges may apply for download and use of the app.
Family Locator also features recurring or one-time alerts that can be sent to multiple recipients via phone or email so each member of the family can be automatically reminded of upcoming school plays, doctor appointments or other can’t-miss activities.
