OVERLAND PARK, Kan.,
June 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Sprint (NYSE: S) today announced the availability of
Tracker + Safe & Found. Customers can now track just about
anything thanks to this small, matchbook-sized device and the Safe
& Found app, only available from Sprint.
The device can easily attach to vehicles, children's backpacks,
pets, bikes, luggage and more to provide real-time location
tracking.
There are countless ways to use Tracker + Safe & Found:
- Parents of younger children who don't yet have a wireless
device can attach Tracker to their child's backpack and receive a
notification when their kids arrive at school.
- With a handy dog collar accessory, pet owners can keep tabs on
your family's "escape artist" and get an alert if Fido runs off to
go explore.
- Small businesses can keep tabs on their vehicles and other
valuable assets.
- Concerned about lost luggage? Travelers can throw the Tracker
inside their suitcases!1 Also, thanks to the light
sensor, customers are notified if their luggage is opened.
Tracker + Safe & Found runs on Sprint's nationwide 4G
LTE network2 with GPS and a powerful Wi-Fi-assisted
location service. Powered by the Safe & Found app, Tracker is
one of the industry's leading location and parental control
platforms to provide real-time location tracking. Different from
other tracking platforms, Safe & Found can simultaneously
locate where the Tracker is and provide location updates for
smartphones and tablets. Unlike other devices that rely solely on
Bluetooth, Tracker + Safe & Found provides users location
updates from miles away.
"We know that our customers value safety, security and peace of
mind," said Doug Smith, vice
president of Product Marketing and Innovation. "With our new
Tracker + Safe & Found, Sprint helps deliver all of the above.
Users can quickly and easily know the location of and keep track of
children, pets and virtually anything else they love and care
about, all in a single app. It's a great service that can help
families, pet owners, small businesses and more."
Tracker, manufactured by Coolpad, comes with a long-lasting,
rechargeable battery, and features:
- Real-time location tracking.
- Personalized safety zones (also known as "geo-fencing") and
notifications.
- Water-resistant assembly.
- Location updates even from miles away.
- Ability to review historical data.
- Built-in light sensor detection.

$2.50 per month for 24 months for the
