As long as it's switched on - any mobile phone can be tracked to within a 3 metre square location. The mobile network always knows the physical location of each active handset - so that it can route calls, texts etc to the phone at all times. The handset is always in communication with the three nearest phone-masts, and the network's computer system can therefore show where each handset is.
No, it can only be traced when on but if worried, take the battery out. Mind you, if you have not done anything wrong then you should not be worried about the phone being traced by the authorities, they would soon get bored listening to you and Aunt Maud and how the garden is coming along.
"cops" being FBI then YES they can turn on the internal microphone on some models of phones.
no. i think its a network based tracking. and I've tried it
Yes, not only do they track it. In the Baltimore/Washington DC corridor they track all phones for "tracking traffic patters" what do u think?
no hope that helped sweetheart143
yes
yes
If you have a cell phone that is turned on you can always be tracked to the nearest cell tower. This is necessary for the system to work, so that you can make and receive calls.If the GPS in the cell phone is enabled and you are outside (so it can lock to the satellites) you can be tracked to about 10 feet.The only way to be certain that you cannot be tracked through your cell phone is to always keep it turned off except when you want to make a call or check voicemail. Of course everyone will have to leave messages on your voicemail when they try to call you. Everytime you turn the phone on to make a call or check voicemail you will be located and tracked until you turn the cell phone off again.Perhaps you should forget cell phones and only use a landline phone with an answering machine.
Yes, unless it is turned off completely and it must have some sort of signal.
Not through normal cell phone technology. If you're paranoid, remove the battery.AnswerCell phones would only transmit information and data when its turned on, so you'll never be tracked down when your phone is dead.
Yes.Every cellphone or PDA with GPS can be tracked unless the battery is removed.
turn it on
Look for it.
No
yes
No, because voice mail only works when you have your phone switched on. Voicemail is in your phone so if it is turned off how can it work?
yes u can cuz if its off and you plug in the charger, it will turn the phone on and chareg it.
When it is first turned on from being off for awhile.
If the phone is in her name she can activate a GPS device to trace the whereabouts of the phone when it is turned on. Most carriers will however send a text message that states the phone is being tracked. There is a setting that you can go to- GPS or 911 or emergency only. Emergency only should be selected if you do not want to be tracked. You can turn the phone off - no need to take out battery- and you cannot be tracked.
