Know where the child is located. Features of disabling the supervised child service from MTS

Many people know that MTS has a service with which you can track certain subscribers you connect, but few people understand how it can be used discreetly and, most importantly, why.

  • I'll tell you with my own example. I have a mother of retirement age. I often worry when she goes out into the city alone. She is using a mobile phone. In this regard, I had a question so that I would always be aware of where she is.
  • Another example where the service will be useful is when you have children and you always want to know where they are, whether they are skipping school or whether they went exactly where they said.
  • The third example is jealous people who always want to know where their other half is.

In this article I will tell you how very easy it is to activate this service, and how to constantly use this service for a very small amount and at the same time, that subscriber will not be able to understand that he is being watched, unless you tell him about it yourself.

  1. You and the person you want to follow must be MTS subscribers
  2. You must have access to the person's mobile phone (one time for registration - about 10 minutes)
  3. The cost will be only 50 rubles per month for an unlimited number of requests for three people.
  4. You can monitor the subscriber either by SMS requests or on the website, where you can also see all the movements of this person during the day.

So, let's get started, if you are not an MTS subscriber, then become one. In addition, you can buy two SIM cards, activate the service and gift this number to this person in order to resolve the issue of access to this number.

The service is called "Child under supervision", but we understand that it can be used not only on children’s phones.

To begin with, you register for this service from your number, for this you send MOTHER or DAD to the number 7788 .

Example: MAMA HOPE

After this, the system will register you automatically and send you CODE, which will be used to register other subscribers, to unite them into a separate group.

Next, you register the number of the subscriber you need to monitor. At this point, you will need access to this number for 5-10 minutes to register it. To do this, send the following command via SMS from this number: CHILD<ИМЯ> <КОД> to the number 7788 .

Example: CHILD PETYA f54g8 (f54g8 is the code that was sent to you when registering your number). Next, you wait for the response SMS about connection to arrive and remove your traces so that the subscriber does not suspect anything (in case you are connecting a person secretly from him) . You need to remove:

  • Outgoing SMS to number 7788
  • Incoming SMS about connection.

This subscriber will no longer receive any SMS indicating that he is connected to this service. He will only be able to find out about this if you tell him about it yourself or if he himself does a special check by sending a specific SMS to a specific number.

In addition, money for the subscription fee, as well as requests (if more than 3 people) are debited from your account (the one who initially connected and received the CODE), so these subscribers will not have any signs by which they will understand that They are being monitored.

How to track a subscriber

You can via SMS. By sending a command WHERE ARE CHILDREN to the number 7788 in response you will receive a message with the approximate location of all registered subscribers. If you need to find out a specific user, then send the command WHERE<ИМЯ> to the number 7788 .

Example: WHERE IS PETYA

All requests to number 7788 are free (up to 3 people), if more, then for each request 5 rubles.

In addition, you can register on the MTS WAP or WEB site, search and view the location or even movement of the subscriber on the map. It is very convenient and visual.

There are many different features to make using this service easier. You can read more detailed information on the official page http://mtspoisk.ru/family/

Disabling the MTS Parental Control service

If you want to stop using the Parental Control service from MTS, you can do this in several ways.

Unfortunately, children do not appreciate the care that their parents give them - and therefore sometimes they do not even bother to warn them that they are late in school or in the sports section. In such a situation, parents have to bite their nails and worry that nothing will happen to their child.

However, there is a way to avoid such worries: just use one of the applications for tracking children, available in huge numbers both on Google Play and in the AppStore.

Price: Free

The name of this application perfectly describes the essence of its work. With this program you can monitor the whereabouts of your child. Whether he stayed late visiting his friends, whether he is still in the section - you will definitely still be there before your son or daughter calls. In a special section it is possible to outline geofences. If your child goes beyond their limits, a Push notification will be sent to your smartphone. The developers also have a bot in Telegram, which also notifies about such events - you just need to remember to subscribe to it.

With KidControl, you can use not only the GPS chip built into your child’s smartphone. This application even allows you to monitor your battery status. If a child declares that his smartphone is good for nothing, running out of charge in three hours, then you can always check his words remotely. Another important function is the SOS signal. If you click on the appropriate button, all parents and relatives connected to the service will receive a signal for help. At the same time, it immediately becomes clear where exactly the person who gave the alarm is located - his location is displayed on the map.

The program can be downloaded on both Android and iOS. It is very convenient, because with its help you can monitor not only children, but also all other family members - for example, elderly relatives. If only a person has a smartphone on which the service client is installed.

Life360 – “Family Locator”

Price: Free

Creator Life360 Chris Hulls doesn't like it when his brainchild is called a tracking app - the entrepreneur insists that he developed a social network for communication within the family. Family members using Life360, can learn about each other's location, but only with mutual approval.

  • The program is able to quickly inform users about the nearest places where they can get help in emergency situations - hospitals, police stations. Actually, it was precisely this function that the developers intended as the main one - when Hulls “and his comrades” wanted to provide victims of Hurricane Katrina with a more effective platform for communication than that offered by the US Government.

Application Life360 is shareware - the full version can be purchased for $5 per month. However, domestic users have no need to do this: most of the paid functions Life360 works only in the USA.

How to monitor children on the phone using operator services?

If a parent does not have a smartphone and cannot install one of the applications described above, they should resort to an alternative - connect a mobile option for remote child care. Top 4 operators offer the following options:

  • “Child under supervision” (MTS). The service allows you to find out about the approximate location of the baby through SMS requests. The service costs 100 rubles per month - plus 5 rubles will be debited per request if one subscriber controls more than 3 people.
  • "Radar +" (Megafon). The option allows the parent to track the child’s movements and also informs him when the child leaves the specified geofence. Price " Radar +"- 7 rubles per day.
  • "Coordinates" (Beeline). The Beeline service gives the user the opportunity to find out the location of another subscriber - who has previously agreed to be controlled. Option " Coordinates“Quite cheap, and in the first week it’s completely free. After the test period, the subscriber will have to pay 1.7 rubles per day.
  • "Geosearch" (Tele2). The option allows you to monitor the location and movements of another subscriber around the clock - of course, if this subscriber approves the “surveillance”. Connection " Geosearch» free, the subscription fee for using the service is 2 rubles per day.

Locator services are offered by all operators, but smartphone users are still advised to opt out of these options in favor of third-party mobile applications. There are a number of reasons for this: Firstly, the data provided by operators is very, very approximate (because it depends on network coverage), Secondly, the providers’ services are paid (while, for example, the “” application does not require money at all), Thirdly For tracking to be feasible, both phones (parent and child) must be connected to the same operator - and this is not always convenient.

Conclusion

Muscovites should not be faced with questions about how to track a child by phone and which application to use for this - residents of the capital should definitely prefer Kid Radar. This program gives parents the opportunity to stay informed not only of their baby’s movements, but also of their academic progress – thanks to the innovative “ Electronic diary».

The provincial user is recommended to track the child through the phone using the application " Where are my children", which has very extensive functionality. Among other things, the program allows listen, what is happening around the child, and even record sound remotely. However, abuse this the function is still not worth it: if peers find out that their classmate is carrying a “bug” with him, they will simply stop communicating with him.

Today, parents do not have the opportunity to fully control the actions of their children. On the one hand, this allows the child to feel more free and independent. At the same time, lack of control can lead to disastrous consequences. To prevent this from happening, MTS has developed a special service for its clients that allows adults to know the location of their household members. A child under the supervision of MTS is a modern way of control that will not be a burden for your child, and will keep you calm throughout the day.

You can take advantage of this service by completing the registration procedure. It consists of three stages:

  1. Parent registration. Send an SMS to number 7788 with the text MOM or DAD + YOUR NAME, for example: MOM KATYA. In response, you will receive a message with a code that will be assigned to your entire family. It must be used when registering a second family member so that the program recognizes you as one family.
  2. Register the monitored gadget. The parent who activates the option sends an SMS from his phone to the same number with the text CHILD + NAME + PHONE NUMBER. In this case, the number can be used by MTS, Megafon and Beeline operators. For example: CHILD MASHA 79167654321. Since children from birth have certain rights, including freedom, parents must obtain the consent of their child to receive information about his whereabouts. To do this, an SMS is sent to your phone asking for permission. Please note that for subscribers served by Megafon and Beeline operators, the number of location requests is limited - only 100/month.
  3. Registration of other family members. Send an SMS to the same number with the text PAPA (or another program participant you have chosen) + NAME + CODE. For example: PAPA IGOR f87g3. In this case, the maximum number of participants is 9.

Now you know how to activate this service and can do it in a matter of minutes.

How to use

To constantly be aware of where your child is, the company suggests using 4 types of means:

  • SMS commands;
  • Web site;
  • mobile version;
  • applications for IOS and Android.

In the first case, the connected parent sends an SMS to number 7788 with the text WHERE THE CHILDREN are and receives detailed information about the location of the children. If you want to know the location of only one person, then send the text WHERE+NAME to the same number. For example: WHERE IS MASHA

Using tracking on the site, you can not only find out where your children are currently, but also view the entire history of their movement based on previously completed requests. Before doing this, you need to register the subscriber you are tracking. To do this, on the website http://www.mpoisk.ru/family, click on “Add a child” and perform all the specified actions. Please note that during the registration process you will need to send an SMS from the phone that you want to track in the future.

To use the mobile version, you go from your phone to the website m.mpoisk.ru and find the “Child under supervision” section.

This option can also be used through the “Where are the Children” application. The advantage of such a mobile application is that you can not only find out information about where your children are, but you will see general information about their phone:

  • battery charge;
  • installed applications and time of their use;
  • number of SMS sent and calls made.

But this is not all the functionality; you can also control and manage applications of the monitored gadget directly from your tablet or smartphone. If your younger family member is playing an interesting application, you can temporarily restrict access to it.

If you need to further manage functionality, such as changing a name or removing one of the participants, you can also do this using different tools. However, remember that a removed family member can be restored. To do this, you just need to go through the registration procedure again.

Notification of movements

You already know how to activate the supervised child service, and now we invite you to learn about the additional function that comes with it. Movement notification is the ability to independently create geographic zones in which the subscriber will appear throughout the day, for example, a school or stadium, and track the time he will be there. At the same time, you independently set the tracking time frame, and if your children appear in the geo-fence during this period, then you will receive an SMS message.

Click on the photo to enlarge it

There are two ways to create a geo-fence. The first is through the web interface, where by selecting the “geo-zones” tab you can create them, for example, school, gym, friends, or remove unnecessary ones. Here you can also set the tracking time.

The second - using your phone, send an SMS to 7788 with the text ZONE + its name. For example: ZONE HOUSE. You can also activate geo-fences in two ways. In the first case, this can be done through the web interface, in the “geo zones” tab opposite the children’s name. To enable control via SMS, type the text: ZONE + CHILD'S NAME + TIME to 7788. For example: ZONE Masha 9-16.

The procedure for disabling this function is the same as for connecting it. This can be done either using the web interface, or by sending a message with the text STOP ZONE to the same number.

Pausing and disabling

If you have certain circumstances and you do not want to use this option, then do not rush to completely disable it. There is the possibility of a temporary suspension, during which time no money will be debited for the service. Just send a message to 7788 with the text STOP - it will be suspended, but information about family members and request history will be saved. At any time convenient for you, you can resume its actions using a request.

If you don’t want to continue using it, then you should know how to properly disable the “Child under supervision” service from MTS. Deactivating it is simple - just send an SMS to the same number with the text “DELETE” and you will not be able to use its benefits.

Prices for use

The total payment is made for each month in the amount of 100 rubles. In this case, only the first 3 requests will be free, and for each subsequent one you will have to pay 5 rubles.

Please note that at the moment this service can only be connected with the “Movement Notifications” function.

In order for parents to have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the advantages of the option and understand whether it is worth connecting it or not, a test period is provided. This is 14 days for which you will not be charged. In this case, the subscriber can use this period only once. If you like everything and continue to use it, then the fee will be charged after the trial period.

Only the family member who activated the option will bear material costs, and the rest of the participants can use it for free.

This popular service has managed to win the hearts of many customers. And it’s not surprising, because there is nothing more important than the lives of children. They are our future, so their safety must be taken responsibly. And one of the ways to protect children from unpleasant situations is to control their whereabouts. So connect this service and be confident in every step of your child.

When a child is not around, even if he is at school, this is always a cause for concern for his parents. A mobile phone accompanying a child partly solves the problem, since the parent can contact the child at any time. But the safety of minors is too serious a matter to make do with limited means of control, especially if beloved children are on the road.

Thanks to the sensitive attitude of the MTS operator to all problems of society, the “Child under supervision” option appeared. Now parents will be able to find out about the whereabouts of their son or daughter without disturbing their children with endless calls. This article will tell you how it works and how to activate this service.
