Look4me

Vodacom has initiated a new, location-based Look4me service on its cellular network. The service enables contract subscribers to find any Vodacom cellphone user, provided the user has consented to being located, according to
The Mail & Guardian.

Look4me has built-in safety controls to ensure that a user can never be located without first providing explicit consent -- by granting location rights to a specific cellphone number.
