excelent description… This is exactly the process of a triangulation… Nice Job

so basically what you are telling us is that each AERIAL would be uniquely identified rather than the phone? i call B.S. on this one - first, if a current passed through the aerial, is it an electrical, or some type of magnetic current - then, if it is magnetic, how does it get converted to elecrical? and at this point, how would this send a regulated 3volts DC to the electronics in the phone without causing damage to the circuits - even if the aerial was actually soldered to the board that has the chip (which i doubt) that wouldn’t be directly connected to the “circuit” that handles the voltage to and from the “main board”

“so basically what you are telling us is that each AERIAL would be uniquely identified rather than the phone?” - no re-read it.

They knew the body was in the area with a phone in his pocket. Therefore they threw electrical signals across the field. When electricity passes through a coil of metal it creates a magnetic field, right?

So they then scanned/pinged for magnetic fields in the brush.

Makes sense to me.

can you tell me exactly what resources need to be used for this, what type of antenna, and GPS system etc?

This is crap! Yeah, that is the way it works, but the ping stuff…come on!
I work at the Secret Services in my country, if you want to see how it really works, call me.My number is +40743582183. Maybe i’ll help you track some mobile phones! And i’ll tell you how to do it fast and safe! Just call…

first of all…how do you find out where the phone masts near you are? Also, you said “Add another mast’s signal strength to your handset.” How exactly do you change…like your signal to another phone mast?

You cannot ping a phone whilst it is switched off period.
The phone will have been pinged retrospectively as the phone data is stored for some considerable time.

AS the phone moves from place to place it automatically locks on to the nearest mast in the area to achieve the strongest signal, when it does so it sends a ping to the mast which in turn sends out a pong (just like your PC) whilst this electronic data is being sent it gets recorded by the network providers. As a result of the phone constantly searching for a strong signal. By doing this a triangulation search can be carried out to locate the phone, simple geometry not rocket science, nothing to do with the coil on the aerial or gps.

The accuracy of the search depends on how far apart the phone mast are, better results are achieved in built up areas as the masts are nearer together and more of them . When the mast are out in the country it makes it more difficult, but not impossible to search for .

You can ping a phone. You are pinging the metal coil in the aerial. Any metal coil would respond - it just happens that the aerial is made from one.

In phone triangulation u can find a phone. for me I’ve lost my phone and been every where i can think it could be. how and where would u go to do a phone triangulation? how bout if the phone is dead?

You pack of idiots. Yes it can be done. Just like metal detectors detect the difference between iron and brass. OK this is how it goes. The antenna in the phone is a very efficient antenna, and thus needs very little power to put out a good signal. You want to get the longest life out of the battery, right? And a very efficient antenna is very good at absorbing the signal it is intended to receive, as it is at transmitting it out. So if you’re looking for a dead mobile phone out in the bush, use a low-powered transmitter that will put out a signal on the exact frequency that the mobile phone (all mobile phones) is made for. You then wander around until something starts absorbing the signal. The more your signal is being absorbed by the ‘object’, the closer you are. The antenna will absorb the energy that it is designed to absorb whether the phone has power or not. Now this would only work out in the scrub, where there are not likely to be any other metal objects that are going to ‘resonate’, and they would also have to turn off the local phone towers so that there is not any ‘competeting/interfering’ signal. There.

plz mind telling about the how to mast phone and find location of a stolen mobile.also kindly arrange some relevant software or map .

Yeah there is really some confusion here. The aerial does nothing to identify or triangulate the actual phone. First through triangulation you would find the last known location of the phone. Then from there if the phone is still close enough, guessing that it has not moved since the battery died. As in the case of locating a body. Then from that location you can use the methods described above to try and locate the phone. As said, like a metal detector, you can determine if there is an aerial nearby. Of course this is hit or miss, but if you have triangulated the last known location of a cell phone that may be in some brush somewhere with a body, then your chances of using this method successfully are pretty good.

HI THERE
I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT HOW I CAN TRACE A MOBILE PHONE AND WHICH AREA IT IS IN, HOW MUCH WILL THIS COST ME?
THANKS CHRISTIAN

It’s really important for me and my family to locate the area of a specific mobile (but i think there is a problem, because the specific number seems to be ringing at other numbers - that thing was prooved from me twice , because it was answered for sure by people who didn’t know anything about anything i told them ). So i don’t know if it’s the right word “it was pushed to elsewhere”. Maybe it’s something that the man who owns it does it regularly so that he can’t be revealed. Please mail to me if someone can help !
THANKS EVA

what exactly do u need to triangulate a phone?? can it be done by your local phone operators..just watching 24 got me thinking..

Wow, you’re ALL pretty much dense.

The only way it works is with the phone on and actively associating with a cell tower. The cell towers themselves are broken up into (usually) 3 transmit sectors of 120 degrees each. By determining which towers a stationary phone is connecting to you can determine an area of overlap within which that phone -must- be.
