Can I be tracked on my blackberry?

can my blackberry curve 8310 be tracked even if the gps system is off?

  • Answer:

    Yes, it gets approximate location information by knowing what cell antenna your phone is communicating with. If your cell has any signal at all, it is 'registered' at that antenna. Since antennas have a radius of a couple thousand feet of coverage, your whereabouts are known within that radius. If you are in a location where the cell antennas closer together, they can track you to a smaller area.
