Almost all new cell phones manufactured today have built in GPS functionality. The GPS feature works automatically whenever the cell phone is turned on. Most people have their cellular phones turned on all the time so they can receive calls so as a result, the cell phone will also have it’s GPS turned on as well. Even if the user only turns on their cell phone for a few minutes at a time to make calls, someone who has already set up that cell phone number to track, will be able to get their whereabouts during that time the phone is on.
So how can you track someone?
A GPS locator service allows you to physically locate any GPS enabled cell phone that has been verified, which requires you to have it in your physical possession at least once. Once you have subscribed to that service, you can log in and track their movements as they go about town. Tracking them in this way is very similar to taking a GPS tracking device, and installing it clandestinely in someone’s car. Since most people don’t think of their cell phone as something that someone can track them through, it is a more clandestine approach. You can actually give the person you want to track a new phone, and most of the time, they won’t be the wiser that their movements are being tracked. The cell phone can also be planted in their vehicle without their knowledge, just like a GPS tracking device. If you know how to connect the cell phone to the car battery, you don’t have to remove it from the vehicle every 2 or 3 days to recharge it.
This raises huge privacy issues, and in some locations may be illegal to do this, however it is currently difficult to regulate this kind of activity. Many ex-husbands have been caught tracking their ex-wives using this technique and as a result, has raised many safety concerns. Most people are not technologically savvy and would have a difficult time knowing where to look for a hidden cell phone in their vehicle. One woman became suspicious because her ex-husband always knew her whereabouts and had her car searched, where they did find a hidden GPS enabled cell phone attached to her car.
It is very easy to track someone with a cell phone. Most mobile phone companies will soon begin to offer these tracking services as an add-on to their service plan. For those that don’t yet have it, you can use third party locator services to use GPS to track cell phone. There are a few third party services out there that may have the features most trackers, both innocent and clandestine, are looking for.

So a cell phone not only keeps you in constant contact 24/7, it also tracks you wherever you go. I long for the old days when you could “take your phone off the hook”, and, as the author says, “disappear”.
I hope nobody ever wants to track me, I lose my phone at least once a week and I forget it or leave it in the car so often that they wouldn’t have a clue where I was!
We have privacy laws and in UK people often have phones on a pay as you go basis, so I don’t really see how this would work.
Both of the cell phones I’ve had allowed you to turn off tracking except for 911.
I bet a few savvy cheaters have already started leaving their cell in a neutral location when fooling around.
A friend’s wayward boyfriend bought a second cell phone and a prepaid plam for use with his “mistress” separate from the phone he uses for his wife and everyone else.
Justontime,
I does not matter if the phone is pre-paid or not. All I would need to track you is your pre-paid phone for 2 minutes. I would sign up to a service such as childlocate.co.uk put in your phone number and then accept the FIRST message it sent to your phone. After that it would just track you without your knowledge. I would just log onto the website to know where you are.
The fact your pay as you go makes no difference as the charges for the service come from the person doing to the trackings credit card.
Cheers,

Simon,
I don’t think the wives have access to the phone number of the “stealth phone”. Other wise, what would be the point of having it?
I guess if someone knew that their phone was being tracked like that, they could intentionally leave it somewhere or send it somewhere to give a false impression.
But I’m sure this would come in handy in some cases.
I think that once a spouse has to resort to tracking the other’s phone, the game is no longer afoot, sadly, the game is up. Time to move on.
This kind of technology really scares me. I guess that it has it’s uses (if you need to track your teenager) but using it to track adults is just plain wrong.
I have to admit that it bothers me too, but I can see that it would have value in some situations. I think there have to be some limits on the way this sort of technology is used.
I was just reading through this again and it led me to wonder what the law says about this sort of thing. How far can you snoop on another person without breaking the law? I know it will be different in different countries but I would be interested to know what others think.
I think Sagemother makes an excellent point that you need to know the number of the phone.
Then there’s the possibility of allowing someone to discover the “stealth” phone number and leaving it at work or where ever it “should” be at the right times.
I’d guess that the company offering the snooping service would be regulated by the laws of the country where it’s located.
Surely governments and phone companies as well as most federal agencies can track any phone whenever they like anyway?
I think there are regulations about governments tracking phones, but being tracked by someone else is a big deal, it is a serious invasion of privacy.
my point is that governemnts pay no attention to privacy laws, because they are not strong enough.. i think it would be very hard to prosecute anyone… remember the scandal over Prince Charles and his mobile calls to Camilla?
He wouldn’t want it to go to court because it would attract too much attention, but I think there must be laws against this sort of thing.
