How’s it do with a flip phone?

A flip phone does not have a GPS module so they can't pull up your exact location. The phone pings cell towers every few seconds, that is how the phone system knows how to route a call to you. So your general movements can be tracked within a few miles. Flip phones don't have the ability to monitor voice continuously so probably not as risky.
