Forget those piddly wiretaps. The next frontier in warrant-free surveillance is upon us, and it's open to everyone. A UK service called World Tracker apparently uses cell tower data (or GPS, when available) to track the location of just about any GSM cellphone. Just enter the number you want to track into the service's handy Google Maps-based interface, and you'll be able to zoom in on the device's location, with accuracy somewhere between 50 and 500 meters. The first time you try to track a phone, a text message is sent to the owner, who must reply in order to enable tracking (we'll leave it to you to figure out how to work around this if you need to track a spouse, kid or employee). The service is currently compatible with O2, Vodafone, Orange and T-Mobile in the UK, and has plans to expand to other markets including Germany, Spain, Norway and the US. If, that is, privacy advocates don't shut it down first.

That's news to you. I think there's a service like that on all finnish operators, send an SMS and get the location of the cellphone you wanted to see...better not take your cellphone with you if your GF checks your whereabouts

GPS isn't required for you to be trackable.

anyone who is smart and is up to something has a reg phone and phone no one knows about that they keep off until they wanna make a call. bottom line is people are by nature elusive and will always find a way to not be found. and about the chick thing, if a girl ever tracked me, i'd can her so fast. trust is everything. big brother won't ever go away.

This is nothing new, been around for a long time in fact.

The soultion is to simply not take your phone with you when you are doing something you dont want to be found doing.
