no traceable cell phone?
    #27532955 - 11/06/21 08:10 PM (2 years, 2 months ago)

i'm wondering if those old nokia cell phones are less traceable than nowadays smartphones.
any info here?
not sure if old cell phones reveal its location all the time or only when calling or receiving calls.

Generally as long as you have service you can be tracked down.
I don't know how precise it would be but I'm quite sure it's not possible to exactly pinpoint your location, it's more like a rough estimate in which area you're located.

This. For example, consider cell towers on the boundary of some area. The cell towers know your position because your phone finds the "best" tower for communication. It's constantly communicating with nearby cell towers to be able to connect calls instantly and maintain calls between switching regions; the information is logged. I think it's accurate only to the region between cell towers, but maybe there's a way to use the ping between towers to understand exact position within the region.

If you use Google's location service in android, then the location can be even more precise. If I'm not mistaken, Google's location services use satellites and can give accuracy to 3-5 meters.

Yeah it is unprecise at first, as youn said you can only see in which broadcast are you are at the moment.
But if you put time and resources on the line you can in fact triangulate a quite precise location.
