Some of today's wireless service carriers offer GPS tracking features for selected mobile phones. Such features come in handy for locating lost or stolen devices, or keeping an eye on children. For example, AT&T FamilyMap is an optional feature that can be added to a standard family plan.

When subscribing to this service, users can locate every cell phone that is part of the plan. Location alerts can be sent directly to an E-mail or via text messages to specified mobile phone numbers. AT&T offers a 30 day trial for the GPS tracking software and allows users to try it out and determine if this feature is worth the few extra dollars each month.
