As for Cingular (GSM) , they have clocking and location triangulation occuring realtime on their towers for the gsm signalling...it only takes an extra few seconds a request for them to report where a call is being made from. The 'big brother' advantage here is that its actually recorded in transaction logs and can be recalled, so nothing needs to be 'activated' they just need to know the time of the last call (which the company can also obviously dig up in a matter of seconds). |
I was talking more about tracking GPS enabled phones that are not in use..
