Re: Re: Tracking a mobile phone

Yea that would be very very hard.. besides if your friend would do the trip in the usa, I doubt he can access the network at all ;) In any case, the most realistic choice would be to buy a GPS-enabled phone and write a nice Java app that does the job for you (maybe even flash-lite can do it).

I think that would require tapping the cellphone network, which I doubt they would let you do since it be a major violation of privacy, because you could track the general location of anyone on their network. Thomas wrote:

Hi there, I was wondering if anybody has attempted to track a mobile phone through a country. I know that this is usually more a case for the FBI . a friend of mine is going on a 4 month bike tour and I would like to 'track' him for locations. I thought of an sms receiving system, but if could do any other way would be great. Any ideas? Thomas
