GPS Tracking For Cars

I got the phone about 2 weeks ago and the person who stole my phone out of my car left the sim card for me. (Service is with AT&T) I was told that if the card was in the phone it could be tracked but if the card isn’t they could just put theirs in it and use the phone with no problem. But is there a way to track the phone like GPS style? Anyone who knows the capabilities of this type of phone or got their phone through att would help.

Best Answer: This is freaky, I just got a hand out from a friend regarding a similar thing. You can’t track it BUT you can shut down the hand set so the joker can’t use it. Get to your paperwork and come up with the serial number, 15 digits and unique to your phone. Let you service provider know the number and they’ll shut it down even without the SIM.

• Really the only way to track a phone’s GPS signal is if they call 911. There might be other ways, but none that the police are going to delve into to recover a phone that costs a few hundred bucks. Maybe if they were tracking a mass murderer or something…

  Well, at least they took your sim card out so they aren’t running up your bill! Have to look at the positive!

• you can’t track it now.

  you need to report it stolen and you need to get a new phone.

• Even if GPS and the sim card in the phone, your phone cannot be traced. Your best bet is to try to call your cell phone. See if anyone picks up. If someone does, tell them to send you your phone or meet to get it back. You could also call your local AT&T store to see if anyone turned it in.

  If no luck, then you need to report it lost/stolen. You don’t want someone ranking up your phone bill. When you do report it, the phone is useless to whom ever has it. They won’t be able to have service on it.
