    If you want privacy, don't carry a cell phone.

    Did you know that even if you close a cell phone, some people can still listen to your conversation (talking face to face with someone) and track you down!

      it would not surprise me

      Often times I wonder why
      There's love and hate, theres live or die.
      When sickness comes I must decide:
      When feelings go, theres suicide.

          actually someone told me that too, but I can't really imagine how that would work
          I don't use ICQ anymore.

            Track down, sure.

            ..and I'm off.

              If you are on an analog network, your call is wide open on any scanner that can receive the 800 mhz cell phone frequencies. Most areas are all digital as are phones, but there are still some analog also.

                I remember the old days with analog mobilephones.... quite entertaining if you had a radioscanner. Even the police used to have an analog system.

                      your mobile gives off a signal every few seconds or so to the nearest mast I believe this is how they track you down my seeing which mast the last signal came from the police have been using this way to track criminals down for a while. And yeah they can listen in too even if its swithced off they can switch it back on their end and evesdrop on you big brother and all that

                            that's pretty scary, but I guess noone turns it on just for fun to listen to random people
                            I don't use ICQ anymore.

                              GPS has nothing to do with mobile tracking. They track the phones by counting the distance from 3 nearest 'base stations', it's pretty accurate.

                                  Proper term is triangulation.

                                    they are going to track me down by.....

                                    triangulation of cell waves or the GPS enhancement on my cell?

                                        Yes it is, unfortunately my native language isn't english, and I was too lazy to check the dictionary.

                                        Sorry, won't happen again.

                                            Maybe motorola didn't want you to know about it or people at that company aren't aware of it.

                                                  Your privacy ended the day you were born into this world.

                                                  We all have a name, an address, fingerprints, credit histories, SS#'s, tax ID's, not to mention school records, COUNTLESS photographs from area cameras, debit cards, auto records... the list goes on and on man.

                                                  A cell phone conversation is the least of my worries.

                                                              MS is developing software to be used with the cell phone company that I work for to track employees. The company who purchases the software can choose to either use triangulation or gps.

                                                              If you have a sprint phone and look @ the display you will notice a cross hair on the front of the phone. That is gps locator which can't be turned off completely.
