Pinging: Tracking A Cell Phone
A popular term heard lately in reference to cell phone tracking is pinging. Cell Phone Tracking or Pinging as it is commonly referred to is the technology which is used to track the current position of a cell phone. It is helpful technology when trying to locate criminals or missing persons.
Your cell's position is determined by the cell phone tower which is nearest to your phone's signals location. Some phones with built in GPS receivers have a higher accuracy rate. Many newer phones do not even need to be powered on in order to receive the signal. Also, newer phones have a second battery source so if the primary battery is damaged or removed, the cell can still be tracked.
Now I am sure you are thinking, between the GPS equipment, the feed cost, monthly plan.... you may just want to stay under the radar. But, you can't remain hidden regardless as the above CNN clip clearly shows and, think of the fun you will be denying yourself by knowing where your teenager really went Friday night or keeping an eye on the employee who thinks she has unlimited use/mileage of the company vehicle.
