by

familymap_iphone.jpgAT&T now offers  the AT&T
FamilyMap App on the App Store for iPhone. The app provides families with a more
seamless experience when locating and connecting with one another on
the go using iPhone. 

This app could come in handy if kids are out in the snow, because now parents can view maps of where their family members are on their phones.

The AT&T FamilyMap app brings a streamlined approach to helping
families stay up to speed on each other's whereabouts by locating
wireless devices within a shared family account. The app provides
iPhone users with access to FamilyMap's features which until now, were only accessible through a computer

Interactive Map: View whereabouts within an interactive map,
including surrounding landmarks such as schools and parks; and, toggle
between satellite and interactive street maps.
Personalize: Assign a name and
photo to each device within an account, and label frequently visited
locations such as "Bobby's house" and "School."

iPhone customers can also take advantage of additional FamilyMap features, including

  • Schedule Checks: Use the app to see if a family member is on schedule. Parents can schedule and receive text and email alerts.
  • My Places:
    Set up and view a list of landmarks within the app. Users can display
    the landmark on the map, edit the landmark's details, and remove or add
    landmarks.
  • Map Panning: Use the innovative Multi-Touch
    user interface to pan the map until you find the location of a specific
    family member's wireless device.
  • On-Demand Locating: Locate a family member by logging into the service from iPhone or a computer.
  • Messaging:  Once a family member is located, quickly contact them directly from the app via e-mail, SMS or voice call.
  • Compatibility: AT&T FamilyMap works on any AT&T phone with post-paid service.

  • Customers can download the AT&T FamilyMap App from the App Store on iPhone. 
    Consistent with AT&T FamilyMap pricing across AT&T's wireless
    portfolio, users can locate up to two phones on an account for a
    monthly subscription of $9.99, or up to five phones for $14.99 per month.

    Peace of Mind.

    First
    launched in spring 2009, AT&T FamilyMap provides parents and
    families with the ability to easily locate a family member's wireless
    device using either a compatible handset or computer.

    In
    keeping with AT&T's industry-leading stance on privacy, AT&T
    FamilyMap can only be established for numbers listed within a shared
    billing account. The account owner oversees all privacy preferences and
    is notified when devices within the account first become locatable.
