See where your own family is, at a glance
Want to know your own child or a family member is where they should be? With their number — and their agreement — Getlocate estimates the area their phone is in from live mobile-network signals. No app to install, and it works across most carriers and networks.
For locating your own family members or your underage child with their knowledge — not for tracking another adult.
Check on your family in 3 steps
Enter their number
Type in the number of your own child, or a family member who's agreed to be located. Nothing gets installed on their phone.
We read the signals
Getlocate scans the mobile-network signals tied to that number and works out the area the phone is likely in.
See their likely area
You get an estimated area and region on a map, so you know they've reached where they were headed — usually in a couple of minutes.
Made for family peace of mind
Live signal, not stale data
Getlocate leans on current mobile-network signals to estimate a fresher area — not old, generic records.
No app on their phone
There's nothing to install and no account to set up on the handset — you start from the number alone.
iPhone or Android alike
Works with a family member's iPhone or Android across most carriers and networks.
Backed by a refund
You pay per search. If we can't return a usable area, the 30-day money-back guarantee has you covered.
Family locator questions
Who can I locate with Family Locator?
Your own underage child, or a family member who has agreed to be located. Getlocate is not for tracking another adult without their consent — see our Legal Use page.
How do I check where my child is?
Enter your child's number, confirm the search, and Getlocate returns an estimated area, region and map — usually within a few minutes, with no app to install.
Do I need to install anything on their phone?
No. Nothing goes onto the handset — the estimate rests on the phone number and the mobile-network signals around it.
Is it legal to locate my child's phone?
Locating your own minor child's phone is lawful in most places. For any other family member you need their consent. Using Getlocate in line with your local laws is your responsibility.
Will it work if their phone is switched off?
It works best while the phone is powered on and holding a signal. If it's off or out of coverage, a current area may not come back — and the money-back guarantee applies.
How precise is the estimated location?
Getlocate hands back an approximate area — frequently the right city or district — drawn from mobile-network signals. Every result carries a confidence score, and precision shifts with coverage.
How quickly do results come back?
Most searches surface an estimated area within a few minutes, depending on coverage and whether the phone is currently online.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Getlocate estimates the area of an iPhone or Android handset across most carriers, whatever the make.
What if they're travelling abroad?
Getlocate reaches across many countries, so you can check on a family member whether they're nearby or abroad, as far as local network coverage allows.
What does a search cost?
Getlocate runs on pay-per-search — one clearly stated fee. You see the full price before anything is charged.
Is the search kept private?
Yes. Each search is secured with 256-bit SSL and never sold or shared. We hold data only as long as it takes to deliver your result.
What if no area comes back?
If we can't return a usable area, our 30-day money-back guarantee steps in — a full refund, no questions asked.
30-day money-back guarantee
Every search is pay-per-search and stands behind a 30-day money-back guarantee. If Getlocate can't return a usable area for your family member's phone, ask for a full refund — no questions asked.
Know they're safe and sound.
Enter your own child or family member's number to get an estimated area for their phone — usually within a few minutes, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
