True, some people are skeptical about this possibility. After all, few people believe that it is possible to determine the subscriber's location on an interactive map with an accuracy of up to 15 meters. Is not this a fraud?

He will check the connectivity, and then ask you to give your initials with the name and phone number. A few minutes of waiting - and the application is sent for processing.
