Big brother keeps getting bigger and bigger. If you are wanting to hide from your parents or whoever, you better lose that phone. Turning it off wont work either, you have to physically remove the battery.

No, the vast majority of cell phones do NOT have a tracking device in them. The cell company can find out the general area it's in IF it's being used at the time, by seeing which cell site it's sending to and receiving from -- depending on the density of cell sites, that area could be anywhere from a block or two up to many square miles. Those shows on TV that show people tracking somebody by their cell signal -- just TV fantasy. If you ask the cell company to try and locate it, they're gonna charge you...a lot :) Just call them and tell them it's lost, they'll deactivate it so nobody can run up your charges, and then get a new phone. Much cheaper and easier.

tracking device is for Tracking your cell phone if in case your cell phone get lost or stolen by some 1 and when he insert any other sim card you will start receiving text from the number to the number mentioned in the tracker to receive text..
and tracking system is also a GPS system...!
so you cannot track your children..
via this tracker however there are other good methods too.. lol.
even i am a teenager even my parents may try this trick..
ha ha ha ha...

I've heard this too. You can also get a tracking device for the phone activity from http://www.spysupermarket.co.uk/phone-spying/.
