How to track a stolen cell phone?

I've heard their are some sites that can, (but I've never found one) use the cell phone towers your cell phone constantly communicates with to track the general location of a missing/stolen cell phone. Have you seen any sites where this is possible? (FYI: I do own a GPS if that would be of any help) Bill: The police will only track phones incase of an emergency or missing persons. If they'd track a phone for ANYONE it would waste resources and time needed for more important cases. thesamri: Their is a difference between tracking and tracing. Tracing a call involves landlines. Landlines are different from cell phones because you can't use cell towers or GSP to track them. Tracing a landline is much more complicated than tracking a cell phone where you may have a GSP within the cell phone, or you can track it's estimated distance from cell towers and triangulate the mobile phone's signal. **I'm sorry I typed in GSP instead of GPS** **I'm sorry I typed in GSP instead of GPS**

1. Let the police handle it.
2. no you need to be on the line with that phone for 15 minutes before you can get a trace
