UPS customers can track packages wirelessly

ATLANTA-Domestic United Parcel Service customers can now track packages, find the nearest UPS drop-off location, calculate shipping rates and determine transit times for shipment via any wireless device, including one- or two-way text messaging, Web-enabled phones, personal digital assistants, pagers or other pervasive computing devices.

UPS said the service, located at www.ups.com/wireless, is currently available to about 94 percent of U.S. wireless users, with the company working to reach agreements with companies serving the remaining 6 percent.

The company plans to extend its wireless services to its international customers during the first quarter of 2001.
