Re: Question about tracking cell phones

Same person, back to bug you, lol. For the same situation in the same fic.

If a call is made (to a questionable person) from a character's cell phone, how much can someone actually know about the call? If the cell phone is not actively being tapped (which it isn't) there's no way for anyone to hear the actual conversation, is there? And if the character's cell phone is traced in order to find their location, that's just a GPS ping, right? To actually get a record of calls made from the phone, you would need, what, a warrant? Though given that this character is missing and is in law enforcement, a superior might bend the law to get whatever they could get without a warrant. But once you had a call record, is it possible to trace the other phone's location just based on its number?

Well, I'm not sure about what the NSA actually has legal access to in a given situation, but theoretically you could listen to someone's cell phone call from a specific number as the call is being made. It's all digital. It's the same as receiving a radio signal in real time; wire tapping phones has actually gotten easier, not harder.

You would just have to wait for that number to show up on the network and if someone was waiting for it, they'd be able to listen in to whatever was being said.
