Tracking phone question

(Anonymous) 2016-08-26 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
(From the same anon who asked about tracing phones and GPS not that long ago.) 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 actual get a record of calls made from the phone, you would need, what, a warrant? And once you had a call record, is it possible to trace the other phone's location just based on its number?

I wrote out a whole answer and then realized I've really just seen a bunch of police procedurals and don't know jackshit. FWIW, I *think* that 1) there's no way to get a recording of a cell call, 2) you need a warrant to get phone records and it would just be numbers and timestamps (but possibly locations too?), and 3) you can only trace a phone if it's on and you have the GPS tracking Equipment. But you *might* be able to do it from just a phone number? That's the one that I'm really not sure on.

They'll be able to see time, date stamps, length and the general ads the call was made by the phone tower

Might get foggy if call is made with cell data or wifi
