    You can’t. The signal is digitally encrypted for starters and to triangulate a moving mobile signal takes a lot of expensive equipment. Mobile phone companies can track a phone to an area by using their base station equipment, but not exactly where a phone is.

    Triangulation is out of the question. There is a great way of tracking him though if he has a java enabled phone, with data packet service. Boost mobile is the best way to go with this.

    I wrote a tutorial once on how to do this….

    Here it is:

    The great thing is you do not need to get minutes do to this. as long as the phone is on the network registered it uses none of your time.

    If anything buy one of these cheap phones, install mologogo and put it in his backpack!
