Cell phones: A cell phone without GPS yes NO GPS
A cell phone without GPS yes NO GPS
by PaulRx4 - 3/20/08 6:02 PMI need another cell phone, but this phone is wanted
without GPS. An older dependable unit with few features
is fine, my present phone is with Verizon so it is CDMA.
I probably want to get three of these. Need any more
details ask me and i will answer. Thanks everyone.

Of course it's supposed to be that such a feature isn't used to track your location, except for 911/emergency services. Wireless carriers don't really need to use that, they can track which tower you're using, they know the radius of the range on that tower, and can triangulate your position pretty easily... IF they want to.
Either way, just make sure whatever phone you get is at least digital, since all analog service was discontinued a couple of weeks ago in the US, and I think almost every other country had done away with analog signals long ago.

Am looking for a specfic phone without the GPS chip.
By law 5% dont have to have this GPS chip, some where there must by some out there. Having a problem with a real annoying and skilled stalker, who is very phone wise, but not into computers. Have used phone menu to only use the GPS for 911. Next step a phone without this feature. Thanks in advance PaulRx4
I have to say
by Jimmy Greystone - 3/26/08 2:56 PM In reply to: Thanks for this answer-- on track ,but dealing with stalker! by PaulRx4I have to say, that if this person is able to track your phone's GPS, then they are probably skilled enough to track you even without the GPS. With a little basic trig and knowledge of where a couple of cell phone towers are, you can pinpoint someone's exact location. That's actually how GPS works, but that's another subject.
Stalkers are generally the sort who aren't going to be deterred by the fact that you use a phone without GPS. They'll just find some other way to track you. I just hope you aren't expecting this to be some miracle cure that will solve your stalker problems, because it's highly unlikely that will happen.
