Free mobile cell phone tracking software

Traditionally, a cell phone locator technician would use triangulation. Whenever someone has their phone turned on, it sends intermittent "pings" to the cell phone towers around it. This is the phones way of knowing whether it is in a roaming area, how strong of signal it has, and what towers to use when you need to either receive to make a phone call.

Triangulation as a mobile phone tracking is only an estimate of where the phone is the last time it was "pinged". Law enforcement can send a ping to the phone only in an emergency. Any other time, your mobile phone location is considered part of your private information. They would need a warrant to ping the phone for non emergency reasons.

A worried parent certainly can't ping the phone to find out where there child is. This is really your only option if you have a trackfone prepaid phone.

I don't know how we can ever really know that answer to that one. It's entirely possible that the mobile phone locator technology is much more sophisticated than we are currently aware of. When GPS technology was first made available to the general public, the government felt that for reasons of national security, civilian units should be restricted in their level of accuracy.

In time, we're bound to see better results from a mobile phone locator service. There is some question about whether or not running programs that allow mobile phone tracking will have an affect on mobile phone batterys charge time. Time will tell and as mobile phone batterys become more advanced, this won't be as much as an issue.

There are many free mobile phone tracker software services to choose from but there is also a free service offered by Google. Who would have thought that Google of all companies would offer this service. Well, it actually makes a lot of sense because their software, Google Latitude, works hand in hand with Google maps.
