Is there any known way of tracing a mobile thats switched off?

[fish heads]

Doubtful, even the police have trouble doing that.

[donnie]

ok what about if it is switched on but you don't get past the enter pin stage does it still send out a signal?

[Tunster]

Probably possible... but you'd need to find someone in the know of how to do that sort of thing.

The average Chris Moyles fan I don't think is gonna know this sorta stuff...

There is websites that can track phones, *however* you need to be able to confirm on the phone first that you want it to be tracked, not much use if you have already lost it or it has been stolen.

[timb]

sounds more like he is trying to use a stolen phone

[iSeb]

Yeah, you can track a phone thats off... they talk about it in 24 all the time!

If you don't want the bad guys to know where you are by traking your phone, you have to take the battery out! I cant remember what they call it. Bah! Such a useless 24 fan!

You realise of course that 24 do stretch the truth quite a bit when it comes to technical things.

And it's called passive triangulation.
The city of Los Angeles once named a street after Jack Bauer in gratitude for his saving the city several times. They had to rename it after people kept dying when they tried to cross the street. No one crosses Jack Bauer and lives.

I realise that console. It's just my want and burning desire for 24, and Jack Bauer to be real.

And I like that joke. Even if it isnt a joke, still funny.

I'm going to get to the stage where I'm hilighting all of Console's posts just in case I'm missing something.

[MK Chris]

I wouldn't worry, most of the hidden stuff is about 24 anyway - very considerate of him to hide the crap from people who don't want to read it, I say...
