Nextel has a service you can use that allows tracking the location of any phone on your account, if you have multiple phones. Accurate to less that 100 feet.

You can use it to track your kids, spouse or employees. Think the government can do at least that well? However, if they are going to go that far, you are already a "subject of interest"

Actually the American government mandated that ALL cell phone carriers in the US enable postion locating of cell phones. The reasons given was for 911 calls. You don;t think they might have other motives do you? :06:

here in our area, the service on cellphones is capable of tracking your immediate vicinity.

not good though in a way if you want to just sulk on your own.

They *can*, but no one is allowed to find out your permission without your express consent (except for emergency services/911)

You should be able to turn off the GPS signal on your cell. That defeats the continuos signal. However, any 911 call will automatically activate the feature. I turned mine off.
