Mobile tracking services..

Anyone any recommendations for a mobile tracking service that just
tracks the mobile and doesn't use GPS that is reliable and has a
customer phone contact instead of just e-mail!.

TIA...

I don't think you can just track the mobile. Either you need:
1) A mobile with an active SIM.
2) A program on the device running software communicating with GPS and then
forwarding this information on via GPRS in one way or another. (The use of
GPRS can be tracked by the network operator).

Either way, tracking is via the SIM.

If you want real time tracking, you need to negotiate with the network
operators themselves.

As far as I am aware, the cost is around £100 / minute. It is very reliable
though.

Try http://www.followus.co.uk/

Been using it for about 6 months - never had a problem. Once registered you
just buy credits and then add phones.
