Is Your Cell Phone Company Tracking You?

Remember that 80’s song that said, “I always feel like, somebody’s watching me...” Well sing that tune in 2012, with your cell phone in hand, and you could be right. Let’s face it-- you can’t leave home without your smart phone and cellular companies know it. But here's what you maynot know: Your every day habits are making them money! Each time you send a text, look up a website, snap a QR code, head into a store, or even drive past one with your GPS on-- your cell phone company may be tracking your every move. Yup. Weird!

As long as it's on but once they put RFID scans on the phones,they will track you everywhere on or off.

It doesn't have to be on. As long as the battery is in it you can be tracked.

Some phones even have a watch-type battery with wires running out of it used to track it.

I don't know if that's the same thing you mention or not. Scary isn't it?
