#629 if any cell phone has network signal you are being tracked. Like it or not. Every time your phone pings a tower it’s saying hey dude, I’m right here. If more than one tower can be pinged they can triangulate to within well drone target area ;) all logged and stored nicely for big brother to later snoop. Regardless of what your phone settings are.

Phone location settings generally just tell the apps running on phone to use cell tower or GPS to provide location to end user. Like Google maps

What would you suggest to buy(with cash) if I say I’m buying it for a non existent niece ? Do I sound a bit paranoid? Lol.

I know next to nothing about tracking, but when I turn location settings off on my Samsung and then visit big chain sites, like Home Depot, Target, if I ask for the nearest store location, I’ll get a response saying something like, “Can’t find your location.”

Can a cellphone be tracked if it’s in a metal case?

There are multiple types of tracking going on here.

The first is telephone network tracking. This is an essential part of providing cell phone service. The phone network has to know where to deliver a call to you.

The second is IP tracking and is related to the first. The data network has to know where to send packets to your cell phone IP address.

These two are closely related everything from the cell tower on is sent digitally. Voice call packets are a VERY low bandwidth and are simply stuffed into gaps in the data flow.

These records can only be accessed by a warrant for US persons. US persons are US citizens and non-citizens subject to US law. If a US person is intercepted while monitoring a foreigner the government is required bu law to minimize the person's identity. We all know how that worked out under the 0bama regime.

The third type is the most pernicious. That is commercial tracking via access to the phone's location service.

The only way to completely prevent all tracking is to power the phone off and remove the sim card. This makes the phone less valuable than a rock. Rocks can at least be used form pounding something.
