What is Friend Finder™?

Friend Finder™ is a revolutionary service by DiGi that allows you to use the phone number of a friend or family member to find out where they are by tracking the position of their mobile phones. You can also use Friend Finder™ if you get lost to figure out where you are.All DiGi, Maxis and U-Mobile subscribers (Prepaid and Postpaid) are eligible to use Friend Finder™.
There are 3 types of charges associated with using Friend Finder™
  1. Requests - These are charges incurred for every SMS message you send to 20000 that includes the keywords FF (e.g. FF FIND mobile number, FF OK, FF CANCEL>)
  2. Data - These are charges incurred according to your 3G plan for using the Friend Finder™ WAP portal or DiGi Friend Finder™ application
  3. Finds - These are charges incurred when Friend Finder™ manages to successfully locate you/your friend.

v  SMS/WAP users:
§  If the locations update you receive is in text form you will be charged 30sen/find.
§  If the location update you receive includes a Google Map you will be charged 50sen/find plus data charges for viewing the map on the Friend Finder™ WAP portal.
v  App users:

§  For each location update you receive, you will be charged 30sen/find plus data charges for using the DiGi Friend Finder™ application.

The accuracy of the information provided by Friend Finder™ depends on the density of cell towers around the mobile phone number you are tracking. The degree of inaccuracy can vary from approximately 500 meters to a few kilometers.

If you are using Friend Finder™ Texts, Friend Finder™ Maps or Friend Finder™ via WAP, you can only use Friend Finder™ to look for one person at a time (i.e. you can only list one mobile phone number is a Friend Finder™ request), but you can make as many requests as you want in a day.

If you are using Auto Friend™ Finder, you will receive location updates on everyone you have assigned an Auto Friend Finder™ package to without having to send Friend Finder™ a request via SMS or WAP to locate your friends.

You can use Friend Finder™ to locate DiGi, Maxis or U-Mobile subscribers that have given you permission to locate them as long as they are within the DiGi, Maxis and/or U-Mobile network coverage area(s).
