How locating a phone number works
TraceHero is a consent-based phone number locator. You provide a mobile number, the person holding that phone receives an SMS asking them to share their position, and, once they agree, their location appears on a map in your dashboard. Here are the questions people ask most before they start.
What is phone number location?
Phone number location is the ability to find where a mobile phone is, using only its number. With TraceHero it is never covert: the phone's owner is asked, by SMS, to share their current position, and a location is only ever returned after they explicitly agree.
How does TraceHero locate a phone?
You enter the number and, if you like, personalise the message the recipient receives. TraceHero delivers that SMS with a request to share location. When the recipient taps to consent, their position is returned and shown as a pin on the map, no app is installed on either phone.
Is it legal to locate a phone number?
TraceHero is built around consent, and a location is only shared after the recipient agrees. You are responsible for having a lawful reason and the person's agreement for every request. Using it to track anyone without their consent or a lawful basis is not permitted and may be illegal where you are.
How accurate is the location?
When a phone is switched on and has service, the shared position is typically accurate to the local area and shown on a map. Accuracy depends on network conditions and the device, so treat it as an approximate real-world location rather than a pinpoint to the exact metre.
Do I need to install anything?
No. TraceHero works entirely remotely. There is nothing to install on your phone or on the phone you're locating, you only need the number and the recipient's consent.
Which phones and networks are supported?
TraceHero works with both iPhone and Android across mobile networks throughout Europe and the US. A successful locate still depends on the phone being on, having service, and the recipient consenting to share their location.

She left it on the bus and I was panicking. I sent the request, she tapped to share, and the map showed exactly where it was. Genuinely relieved.
No app, no fuss. Typed the number and could see he was already home.
What convinced me is that the other person has to agree before anything happens, so it never felt sneaky or like I was going behind someone's back. My partner shared his location on the way home so I could time dinner, and it was accurate down to the street. A small thing, but it genuinely made the evening easier and I have used it a few times since.
Had a billing question and got a reply the same evening. Sorted it right away.
We started using it to keep an eye on my father when he travels for work. He is not confident with technology, but sharing his location really is one tap for him, which matters. Instead of calling him five times we can just see that he arrived safely. It has quietly taken a lot of worry off all of us.
Used it for what I needed, then switched off renewal from the site in about ten seconds. No calls, no long email chain.
Was sceptical at first. It did what it said, nothing weird.

Consent-based, encrypted, and compatible with every phone and network.
