Next thing they will be saving and scanning our text messages....

(yes that last was a joke as I know that they can't possibly have the time, engery, bandwidth or manpower to do that )

I know that AT&T can pull up 3 weeks worth of sms. I heard about being done while i worked for AT&T call center it done.

Oh, your truck needs gas, and the right rear tire is a tich low.

Its a double edged sword. If you want location based search information it has to know where you are...

Personally owell your not going to quit using the phones, and i think they have been able to do this since there were gps chips and sim cards in the darn things.... Especially the ones that have been able to get on the internet....

Verizon offers GPS tracking of your children's phones. They charge you an extra $5/line you want to monitor.
