Cell phones and GPS

Is there any truth to the rumor that you can find your phone by using GPS. If it is true where can one go to find out how to go about doing that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe that only applies to phones that are gps capable, and if the service is paid for, they charge for everything ya know. I believe it's verizon that has been putting out phones like this, but I'm sure you have to have permission before you can track someone with it. Good for family members, children, things like that.


P.S. It worked for me too Wordy

Ummmm, D - did you leave your phone somewhere? Sonny-boy did that in DC. Went in to get a Coke at the convenience store, came out, almost out of the parking lot and realized he'd left it in the store. In that length of time, it was gone! I can't figure out what people do with them. His was always locked (he was in fear of mommydearest getting ahold of it and learning his secrets). Seems like it would be a lot more trouble to get it reprogrammed (illegally, of course, because you wouldn't have the passcode) than it would to just get the freebie for signing on with the service. Anybody in his right mind is going to freeze his account when he finds out his phone is missing....
