A new flight arrival tracker system has been launched for public testing.
ArrivedOK, developed by Eyeline Communications, allows passengers to inform people waiting for them about the status of their arrival once they land at their destination.
Travelers can send this information through SMS, Twitter, blogs or email, which will save them money on international mobile phone roaming charges and also keep people receiving them up to date on their progress.
“Unlike other flight services, which are based on general flight data from dispatcher centers, ArrivedOK relies on particular subscriber’s mobile phone status. It tracks one’s actual appearance in the destination airport, so one’s friends and family are 100 percent sure the person has landed okay,” said Andrey Deriabin, Director of Business Development at Eyeline Communications.
“Air travelers usually spend remarkable amount of money when texting or making phone calls in roaming just to let someone know they landed fine. With ArrivedOK those people who care about their expenses will be able to make them for less.”
The service is being tested across 29 mobile networks in ten countries.
