I'm definitely leaving my cell phone at my work desk next time I go play golf.

What pisses me off is that if this is a GPS enabled phone, why can't I see my GPS coordinates on the screen but it appears everyone else can from their computer.

Drug dealers who change their phones often are going to love this feature, not !

I went to the phrack website, but the schematic is a bunch of garbeled gobbledeegook. I want to build one.

You can turn the "tracking" feature OFF on my cell phone.
It is the users option to have it on or off.

Or leave it with a buddy at a bowling alley on the other side of town while you're knocking off that bank.

It's very easy to disable this feature in Samsung handsets. It only works if you dial 911.

Triangulation between the three closest towers is hardly tracking.

They like to say they can tell where you are but its BS.

Not to mention, the way my providers coverage sucks,

they are laying their asses on the line in court if they offer this technology,

yet the coverage leaves you rotting in the sun if you happen to be

in one of their many "blind" spots.

I specifically made sure that my new phone had the GPS tracking and I always keep it on.

This all sounds like much ado about nothing. Don't let the fear of freedom which new technology brings enslave you. You may need that cell phone on the golf course!

a potentially important perk should you ever find your hand pinned beneath an immovable boulder in rural Utah, as Aron Ralston did recently.

In that part of Utah? Not bloody likely!

Well, if you're smart enough to leave the cell phone at home it can give you an alibi.

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury. These phone logs conclusively prove that my client was at home all night when that murder was committed, 150 miles away!"

What your salesman probably failed to tell you—and may not even realize—is that an E911-capable phone can give your wireless carrier continual updates on your location.

Oh good grief. My phone company knows my exact location when I use my wireline phone too! egads! They are after me!

This is a good thing. Cops are generally not as bright as freepers are. So if you are even in trouble, just turn on your cell phone and tape it to the back of a truck going across the country. The cops will think they are so smart while they set up a road block to nail you. Meanwhile, you will be sipping Margaritas in Mexico.

I once had car trouble in a remote area of Northern California. Took the cell phone and called 911. I didn't know where I was to tell the dispatcher, and she sure couldn't tell me. This tracking would have helped me quite a bit in that situation, but this was in the early '90's.

Thought that any cell company could tell location by the frequency, which tells them the particular tower by location.

I can punch in a series of key presses on my pnohe and it will give all kinds of info, tower freq. in hexadecimal, signal strength, clarity of signal, etc.

Most is coded and I don't have a clue, but the company sure does.
