        <description><![CDATA[Different from other electronics, cell phones have become the necessity of every one's daily life. If someone still has no idea of mobile phones, you must say that &quot;Out!&quot; of course except the senior citizens. To be honest, cell phones really bring us lots of benefits. We use it for talking, sending and playing. With it, our life can be modern one, without it, we will be live in the Mars, you know, know nothing about each other. But do cell phones have no disadvantages? Of course not, more and more people are using cell phones at the cost of other interests. Noises are everywhere, especially the one of mobile phones. What should we do, throw them away? It is a stupid behavior. Have you ever heard cell phone signal booster? It is a new kind of device to solve this problem, effective in blocking the signals of your cell phone and its nearby base station. one side, the mobile phone really benefits us a lot, but another side we also benefit from its noises for a long time, so the fight between the cell phone and mobile phone jammer has been a hot topic in society now. Which side you stand by, jamming or not, it depends on you.]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-389475-3723175]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[1. Hi for this trick to be effective the attacker has to be in the same Paging area as victim.\2. Moreover Paging area can be very huge. It can be several kilometers unlike what we see in Location Based services! When an incoming call comes the whole paging area would be paged so I think it would be unreliable unless Location Based Services can be tapped into (which I belive will be difficult).3. Moreover as networks move to LTE &amp; 3G things can become more complicated?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[On old analog phones in North Dakota one winter they used tower signal strength estimation to locate a stranded person down to the nearest 1/2km and determined she had turned on a farm road.  Also a good lesson learned on why you keep batteries charged, as she ran out of battery just as they got a basic location fix.  Now you can get an App aimed at helping ID your location for emergency serviceshttp://ca.news.yahoo.com/app-designed-north-dakota-blizzard-aims-help-drivers-165127237.html]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-389475-3652218]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[The tracking method described here starts with a phone number.  Several weeks ago, my daughter had her iPhone stolen, and did not have her tracking app enabled.  A cell phone tower identifies the phone by a unique identifier, so I asked the service provider if they would track the phone for me, and they said no, only with a police warrant, which the police wouln't do for a small-ticket item such as this.  Would it be possible to find the phone by its unique number?  (was ESN with CDMA, I don't remember what its called now).]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[and I don't think that's due to a greater freedom from tracking over here.I had to make a call to emergency services to calm down my s***head parents-in-law as they were endangering the lives of my family with how they were driving their boat, and getting irate at us for not meekly accepting their idiot antics... the emergency center, it turns out, had no way of knowing where we were, and also couldn't locate the tiny island where we were staying with the numbskulls.Luckily I am much bigger than the both of them together, so their bark was worse than their bite. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The fact is that no phone company personnel, and certainly no government bureaubums in 99.999% of cases, should know where a particular cellular phone user is within 30 miles.  Ditto with calling line identification.Both location and calling line are unfortunate incidental artifacts of making the  communications work which some corrupt people have been quick and persistent to abuse.The solution is to deter people in and out of government, by vigorous negative incentives, from such abuse.  Deterrence requires that most incidents are detected and punished in a consistent manner in proportion to the harm being done.  Or, to revise how the communication works so as to eliminate these flaws.]]></description>
