Actually, a phone does not need GPS to be tracked. Any cell phone, if turned on, can be tracked.

Thieves here in Brazil does: (1) turn off the cell phone and not turn on until unblock (2) trash the chip Then I think hard by the "common methods" what my cell phone returns :(( Because this I wish to be prepared in the next time...

All in jest. :)

Wow!! Is there really that much of a black market in cell phones there? Since the outcome seems hopeless, why don't you just get another one?

Then you need watch Brazilian Real News about thieves in prison! They use cell phone (from inside of the prison) what does not can be tracked! The cops are installing some device to block any cell phone communication in and out from prison, scrambling the phone signal. pt-BR Clickety[^]

Tracked to a cell and there are 'location services' but they are approximate.

Believe me, they could be tracked if they wanted to ! :-) But this would mean some expenditure, as the base stations most probably are meant for cell phones outside the jail. So, to be able to track down a prisoners phone, the position of every active (mean calling or called) cell phone in reach of several base stations around the jail would have to be found out and tested if they originate from within the jail. So, technically it would be no problem at all. But who would pay it, and is all the effort worth the results ? Marius
