Me, too. For us, cell phones are for talking and texting, and an occasional GPS use.

Ditto that.

But I just found out about the *#06# coding.

Enter it into your cellphone keyboard and enter...as you would make a call.

Throws up the unique digital tracking code for your cell phone...on all the time and allows tracking of your cell phone in 3 dimensions...ie location and 1st floor, 2nd floor...room no 12 ...etc.

Was used by researchers to track and identify a postal worker stuffing a ballot box on several occasions.

And what do you do with this information?

I wonder how researchers were able to get the cheating postal worker’s cell phone to enter that code. And how do researchers receive the info? A printout? On their own PCs or cell phones?

Sounds very interesting.
