Hello Jon! Thanks for inquiring about Family Locator. I have used it on my son's phone as well and it is a great feature. Not only have been able to use it to confirm his location, I have also had great success in finding the phone itself (on those occasions when he has misplaced it)! I can answer all of your questions about this service. First, you want to know if there are charges in addition to the $9.99 fee per Locatee. No, there are no other charges and data access does not apply toward the use of Family Locator for the locating handset or the Locatee. You also wanted to know if it is necessary to download and install an app to the Locatee's phone in order to use this service. Yes, you will. No matter the level of detail, the application must be installed to the Locatee's phone for this service to work. Finally, you want to know if this service can be started and stopped on an 'as needed' basis. Yes, you can absolutely and and/or remove the service as needed. You don't even need to remove the application from the Locatee phone in order to do this. Just keep in mind that whenever adding or removing this service mid-bill cycle, there will be partial access charges (the same as when any other change is made to the account mid-bill cycle). I hope your questions have been answered to your satisfaction. If you need more info, you can review Family Locator details here or just let me know. Thanks for your interest!
