It appears that you set up the phone to text the results to the same phone # every time. So it just waits for a text message, and then it texts back the location to the phone number it was previously set to text them to. But say my phone gets stolen (along with my son's). How would I go about locating it?
It would be cool if I could text something like spritecmd <password> <alternate safe #> gps
or even spritecmd <password> <email address> gps |
I've only played with Sprite for 2 days. There are a couple options when you install it. Once is to only allow text messages with the spritecmd from paired phones. This means you could make it so your son's phone will only respond to your phone number. The other is to allow none paired phones. This means you can send a text from any phone and it will reply to that number. So if you lose both your phone and your son's phone, you can borrow a friend's phone and text both phones (if both have sprite) and get a text back from each phone with the gps coordinates.
As far as I know, there is no way to have the program send an email. I'm not sure if it would be possible. Sending an email would require a data connection. If it had to dial, it wouldn't stay stealth. You could always ask the Sprite support and see what they have to say though. Perhaps they will look into adding it.
