Cell phones forum: A cell phone without GPS yes NO GPS

Hit ebay or craigslist, because you're probably not going to find any new phones being sold without that feature.

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.

Thanks for this correct and on-track answer.
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

and I have no interest in handing the cops a map of where I've been, nor of with whom I've been in contact. The FCC says this is about 911 services. Yet, the cops get millions of records from cell carriers every year without benefit of a warrant. Guess I'll have to get a throwaway phone when the old ones go kaput. Yes, I'm an evil pot person and I think the narcs ought to have to work their sorry ***** off for every bust they make. F*** the police state.
