How much does a cell phone and cell phone service cost for a phone with a tracking device?

Question by Ms. Kennedy: How much does a cell phone and cell phone service cost for a phone with a tracking device?
I'm thinking about getting my daughter her first cell phone but she's seven and I'm afraid she'll lose it at school or somewhere. Do you know what the cheapest cell phone with a tracking device is?

Thanks!

Phones don't have tracking devices. My mother came across the same problem when purchasing a cell phone for my 10 year old brother. You can buy an extremely simplistic one, but they're rather lame to be honest. If you want one with real tracking abilities, it would have to run off of Android and have internet. That adds up and is expensive. Verizon has a tracking ability for some of their phones, but I know little about it.

"The Chaperone Service from Verizon Wireless allows parents to monitor their children’s locations in real time as well as be notified if their children leave predefined “zones” of where they’re expected to be. Verizon notifies the child’s phone by text message if their parents look up their location."
