Come on, someone has to have some kind of useful advice on how to track a phone?Do you seriously expect that random Fargo Street members are going to have the ability to track cell phones?
Assuming you or your parents are in control of the account contact the cell provider. Past that, it's in Law Enforcement's hands. -
You'd think the first thing your parents or police would do is call your cell phone company and see what tower they're getting service off of.
Not sure WHY you'd cancel her bank acct...since that seems to be your only means of tracking her thus far...

^^^Exactly^^^
Nobody other than the service provider will be able to track the phone's signal and see what towers it is in range of...Nobody here will be able to help you.

we did call the phone service (verizon) they can only trace the phone if it has made a phone call, so unless she used her phone...we dont know anything.They are not being honest then...As long as a tower can see the phone they can trace it's location. IE, phone is on, they can "ping" the phone and see where it responds from. If YOU or your family called, they probably aren't taking it overly serious. If the police call, they might be a little more serious about tracking the phone.

So they did finally confirm that if we wanted to press felon charges they would locate her, she has been caught in sioux city SD, tracing the phone woulda done nothing for us...she threw her phone outta the car while she was driving...ugh...fuckin 16yr old girls...im just glad that my sister is finally safe and in jail being held until the parents go and get her. I cant even imagine how bad this coulda been...

I cant even imagine how bad this coulda been......so wtf was the motive behind all of this?? Something must have happened for this to have been triggered...especially with you guys knowing she took off. And wtf was her bf thinking? My god, if my gf at 16 wanted to run away I would have smacked that bitch...or brought her to my house for sexual favors in return for her escape.

I really dont know...its fuckin stupid...supposedly my parents are soooo hard on her that she hates them sooo much, so they wont let her be with her white trash bf? shes a dumb girl and doesnt see that hes trash and she shouldnt be associated with him. I am not sure what her plan was.

Nor is there a ability for any retail verizon store to do so. No matter who is asking.
Also, this shit isnt like Fast and furious, you cant just call, say your officer o'connell, and give a number and recieve the location.
That being said, if there is a warrant, Etc. provided, and the everything is faxed and verified, with the legal department, it can happen.Of course, just putting a gps locater application, like family locator, would be the easiest way for tracking a stupid 16 yr old girl.
AND, yes, we could see the tower number that a call was recieved/sent from without a warrant, and yes that tower is given a "General location" i.e. all of the 11 or so towers here in fargo are labeled "Fargo." Obviously, no calls, no tower location.
oh, and there is no PING that they can do..........other than just calling that number.

Care to assume or read between the lines of my post a little more?
- I never said anything about a "secret" way to track
- I never meant that he could just call up a local store to do the tracking, I kind of figured he was smart enough to realize that
- I never said that it was as simple as CSI/FNF/Whatever other stupid show you bring up makes cell tracking out to be
Next time you should try clarify what I was saying rather than making completely wrong assumptions...
