I've heard for years that cell phones could be remotely activated, it's probably true. The providers can upload code to your phone at any time.
One thing I know is true is that you can be fairly precisely located and tracked while your cell phone is on. As long as the battery is out, the phone is dead.

I've heard of numerous cases where the cell company give the police information on where some suspects phone one. This is used to tie them to a certain location.
But of course you don't have to worry about this because it won't be abused. /s

Battery?
Think of the Cell phone as a large RF ID tag.
