How Can I Track a Cell Phone Using Satellite?

1. Find GPS tracking software. Some of the most popular include Mologogo, Instamapper, and BuddyWay (see References below). These will allow you to follow your phone wherever it goes using your phone's existing GPS chip to send a signal to a satellite. This in turn sends a signal back to Earth and shows the phone's location via the Internet. As of 2010 all of these services are free.
2. Sign up for the GPS service of your choice on its website and providing an e-mail address, user name, password and your cell phone number. You will receive a text message within a few minutes giving you a URL where you can download your software to your phone.
3. Install the software on the phone, then restart the phone.
4. Boot up your computer, PDA, or another web-enabled cell phone and log in to the GPS website. You should see a map and a blinking red dot with your user name next to it. This is the phone you are tracking as seen by the satellite. You can now follow the phone anywhere it goes.
