You may remember that a young woman was recently abducted
from a Target parking lot in Overland Park , a suburb of Kansas City
Her body was discovered many miles away in Missouri . They
were able to locate her by the sequence of cell phone towers that picked
up her cell phone location.

She had not attempted to dial out, but when her family was
trying to call her the towers could sense her phone. Sadly, the
authorities were not able to reach her in time. However, they were able to
locate her body which was in an area where they never would have searched
without the cell phone tower information.

The cell phone 'locator' can be either set on:
1. E911' ... in which case you must dial out to be located;

2. or it can be set to be on all the time ... 'Location on'

There is NO higher battery usage from having it on all of
the time.

With it on all the time you can be located by emergency
services through the police if you fail to respond (sick, injured or worse).
I found that on my phone 'location' was not on.

I turned it on so my phone can be traced.

ALL cell phones have this feature. It's called Location.

It's under the: Settings tool. (on my phone it's under
Settings, System, Location).

Once you turn this on, THEN your phone is traceable
(select 'Location On' instead of 'E911 Only').

If you have trouble call your phone vendor or the manufacturer or walk into the cell carrier office near you and ask for their help.

To stay safe, everyone needs to check their phone and turn
this on- and Moms and Dads should make sure their kids have their phones set too!!!
