It used to be hard but keeping a secret these days is getting much easier because of technology. It's no secret to know how easy it is to be cunning and dishonest. Stalking and Cheating in a relationship is rampant in today's society. We see it everywhere. A lot of people are fed up with these stalkers and cheaters calling their loved ones late at night and throughout the day. This seems to give them a feeling that their privacy has been invaded while not knowing who the person is that is calling on sending text messages.

These problems can be solved by tracing phone numbers with a reverse cell phone number search. There are a lot of databases on the internet that can be accessed in tracing phone numbers. There is a small fee to pay, however it is well worth it. Keep in mind that no skills are required in tracing phone numbers just the willingness to start.

All you need is the phone number and you get a detailed Google map of where the person lives, the status of their phone, their service provider their billing address and the full name of the owner. Trusting people this day and age isn't the best idea and you sometimes you will have to take matters into your own hands. In the old days, tracing a phone number was time consuming and was wasted effort. Times have changed and now it's much easier to trace the person who is behind the call.

Tracking Cell Phone Locations


If you are concerned about your children's whereabouts, or if you suspect a cheating spouse, then maybe you should consider tracking cell phone location. It is a great tool to find out if people are telling you the truth about where they are.

The earliest and most basic way of tracking cell phone location was to analyze the signal of the cell phone. The signal can be tracked by seeing which direction your phone was in relation to the nearest cell phone towers. You can also see the direction the signal is moving in and how quickly you move between each tower.

There is one drawback to this method, because it does not pinpoint the exact location. This is often a rough location of around 100-300 square meters. You can get the general idea of where someone is with this method usually, and definitely see if someone is lying about where they are.

The most accurate way of tracking cell phone location is through the use of GPS. If a phone has a GPS tracking device it can be pinpointed at any time. The one problem is that if the person you want to be tracked just turns off their GPS then you cannot find them. Also terrain can influence GPS tracking, because if the owner of the cell phone goes in a tunnel, or behind some high mountains or buildings, then it can be hard to pick up the signal.

The newest technology for tracking cell phone location is through WPS, or the Wi-Fi positioning system. This technology uses various wireless networks signals for tracking. In cities there are often hundreds of Wi-Fi hot spots that overlap all over the place creating a kind of grid. Users can be pinpointed when they use their phones by looking at the nearest few wireless hot spots. If you live in a very rural community this method may give you a problem.

Cell Phone GPS Surveillance


Boyfriends are using it to stalk their girlfriends, employers are using it to track their employees and parents are using it to control their kids. But, is it legal? The cell phone GPS surveillance industry is exploding. In the next few years it is expected to be a 20 billion dollar a year industry.

For a relatively small fee you can contact a cell phone provider and turn a portable phone into a surveillance and tracking device. But in most countries surveillance of an individual without their explicit consent is against the law. Whether it be monitoring whom you call, the contents of the conversation or your location it is a violation of privacy laws in just about all civilized countries around the world. You either need a law court's permission or that person's documented consent to use a cell phone GPS surveillance device to monitor them. Unfortunately the new technology is being used illegally far to often.

A terrifying example of abuse of cell phone GPS surveillance occurred recently in Oregon in the USA. A wife divorced her husband because he was trying to control everything she did. This type of situation is not unusual. Often the ex-husband will continue to stalk and try to control his ex-wife long after the divorce. In this case everywhere she went he would follow. There was nothing she could do to shake him off night or day. She was justifiably afraid he would kill her. If you look through the history of murders this situation often ends up being the motive. An excessively controlling man feels that he is losing his wife or ex-wife and in a fit of rage murders her as the ultimate act of control. She complained to the police but there was not much they could do. After several months of this going on the police checked her vehicle and found a cell phone behind the dashboard. The ex-husband had purchased a cell phone with GPS surveillance, hooked it up so that it's battery was charged by the car's battery and set the cell phone to silent answer. At any time he could call the cell phone and unless she was out for a long walk he would know exactly where she was and could even listen in on conversations going on in the car.

Unfortunately, your own cell phone can be used against you in a similar fashion if you are not careful. All it takes is for someone else to get a hold of your portable phone for about 5 minutes without you knowing about it. They can go on the Internet, register your phone with a cell phone GPS surveillance service and pay for it with their own credit card. All of this can happen without you knowing about it. The service will send several messages to your phone right away notifying you that you are being tracked but if the person erases those messages you will never know they set up GPS surveillance on you.

This GPS surveillance technology is not just for cell phones. It is showing up in a variety of portable electronic devices. It appears that watches will be the next big item to integrate GPS surveillance and tracking. Even today you can buy any of a dozen or more Timex watches that have integrated GPS tracking and surveillance. But along with this incredible micro technology goes a huge legal problem. Currently the software for these GPS surveillance devices does not contain significant safeguards against legal and privacy abuses but hopefully that will change before things get out of control.

Cell Phone GPS Tracking


The development of communications technology has long since surpassed the sole ability to access others when they are mobile. Today, mobile communication devices are becoming much more technologically advanced and offer more than the ability to just carry on a conversation. Cell phone GPS tracking is one of those advances.

GPS or Global Positioning System tracks your location by interpreting the data received from 3 or more satellites. This has made GPS a popular feature in cars as a navigational aid.

All cell phones constantly broadcast a radio signal, even when not on a call. The cell phone companies have been able to estimate the location of a cell phone for many years using triangulation information from the towers receiving the signal. However, the introduction of GPS technology into cell phones has meant that cell phone GPS tracking now makes this information a lot more accurate.

With GPS technology now more commonplace in many new cell phones, this means that the location of anyone carrying a compatible cell phone can be accurately tracked at any time. Cell phone GPS tracking can therefore be a useful feature for business owners and fleet managers who need to be able to keep track of their vehicle movements.

Cell phone GPS tracking can also be a useful feature to the emergency services or police when responding to a 911 call from a GPS cell phone. For this reason, the FCC has legislated that wireless networks provide location information for 911 calls made from cell phones. These are known as E911 calls.

As technology advance even further, future features will be even more powerful. Imagine GPS cell phones used as a navigational device. Based on the cell phone GPS tracking signal, they could be used to find your way to a location, calculate your speed based on your location change over time, from this calculate your estimated arrival time, suggest an alternative route and even phone the person you are calling to see with your ETA! Of course in car GPS navigation systems can already perform many of these tasks, however it is the portability of cell phones that makes them so useful for this technology.

Cell phone GPS tracking could also be used to locate the whereabouts of your children and offer protection to elderly relatives should something happen and they need urgent assistance.

These features will help to secure the future of cell phone GPS tracking providing advantages for all.
