Various Ways of Cell Phone Tracing

By Steve Tinn


Nowadays, many people have the good reason to want to track another person's cell phone. It is normal with parents who want to find out exactly where their own children are all the time. Nevertheless, it is also common to see this among spouses that are suspicious of their relationship and need the relief of knowing where the other person is all the time. But, no matter what the particular motive for wanting to keep track of a person's location by the use of their cell phone, it is important to be familiar with the various kinds and methods of cell phone tracking.

Perhaps one of the most popular kinds of cellular phone tracing is network based, which in fact works through the cellular phone network itself. This kind of tracking is commonly carried out via the carrier's system without having to add something to the device, like programs or any type of hardware. Network tracking also happens to be one of the most precise kinds, in terms of determining location. Normally, speaking with a mobile phone carrier to allow the monitoring can be accomplished with a monthly charge.

The next type of cellular phone monitoring is phone based. This is done outside the phone network's service and makes use of GPS satellites to track the unit itself. It must be done on a cellular phone which already has GPS capabilities. After that, a particular application must be set up to allow the tracking, which may be a challenge if the phone getting monitored is owned by a spouse. Nonetheless, most smartphones have the capability to do that and the right applications to make it happen may be acquired for a low price.

One other type of cellular phone tracking is SIM based. This is excellent for those who want to learn how to track a cell phone without the need to add any kind of suspicious software on the cell phone. Essentially, the whereabouts of the phone is acquired through the SIM card, though the accuracy of these readings still has to be worked on.

Lastly, and possibly one of the most obvious methods of mobile phone tracing nowadays is the use of hybrid positioning systems. These make use of a combination of the network based and the phone based monitoring to find out the mobile phone's location via GPS. These tend to be pretty accurate ways of determining a phone's location, and one of the most popular methods of performing it is with the Google Latitude software, which allows people to see exactly where they are all the time, as well as exactly where their friends are who also have the app installed.

To end, there are lots of phone monitoring solutions out there, hence being able to determine where a loved one is all the time is simpler than ever before.
