Buddy Beacon is the largest mobile buddy finding application? Yes, it's true. And we're adding more users everyday.
Getting Buddy Beacon on your MetroPCS phone is easy, just follow a few steps. Buddy Beacon is a widget of the WHERE application. If you have WHERE, simply go to the Buddy Beacon widget page and log into your account (if prompted) to add Buddy Beacon to your phone. Or, add the widget when you're in the WHERE application on your phone by selecting "Add free widgets." If you don't have WHERE, what are you waiting for? Start here to download WHERE on you mobile phone
Of course, if you'd rather do it over the phone, here's the skinny:
Bring your social network to your phone with Buddy Beacon. Using GPS (or self-reported location), you can let your friends know where you are and find out where they are, making it easy to meet up for a good time. Not in the mood to party? It's simple to go dark -- just don't update your Buddy Beacon location.
Buddy Beacon uses the GPS in your phone to pinpoint your location. You can let your friends know what you're doing at that location (i.e. working, eating, sleeping, etc.) or you pick a place that's close to you to set as your location. You can also view your location on a map to check out where your friends are in relation to you or view your Buddy List to check the location of a specific friend. By blocking your friends, they won't be able to see your location until you unblock them. Don't worry, Buddy Beacon won't automatically update your location, unless you tell it to.
