Family Locator price drops for Verizon Customers

Anyone that has kids, the wily grandparent or just likes to keep tabs on everyone in their family will be pleased to hear the following news. Verizon has just lowered the price on their Family Locator service from the $9.99 per line requirement to $9.99 for the account. Making tracking not only easy to do, but also affordable. With Family Locator you can set up location alerts that notify you that a certain line has left school, arrived at home or went to their boyfriend’s house instead of their girlfriends house. If you pay the extra for VZ Navigator, you can even get turn-by-turn direction to the offending number. It is a pretty sweet service if you ask me, and now at only $10 for the whole account, how can you say “No!”  to the service.
