How to Track a Cell Phone Position in Mexico

1. Select a mobile GPS program. These will allow you to track the cell phone in Mexico and most other countries in the world, provided that the phone is able to get a cell phone signal. A few programs that you can download include Google Latitude, Mologogo, and Instamapper. As of September 2010 these are free to download and use.
2. Install the program by going to the site of the software that you have decided to use. Some sites will require you to register by providing a user name, password and cell phone number. Google only requires that you provide a cell phone number and country. You will be provided with a link. Open up your mobile browser and follow the link and download the program. Follow the instructions to install it on your mobile phone.
3. Go to the 'Main Menu' of the cell phone and go to 'Applications.' Start the program that you installed earlier. This will begin transmitting your location to the servers of the application, giving the position of the cell phone.
4. Go to your computer, or any other device that can access the Internet, and open up the web browser. Log in to the site where you registered for your software. You will see your phone denoted as a blinking dot on a map. You can now track the cell phone in Mexico and any other place in the world where it can receive a signal.

How to Assume a Business Phone Number

1. Check with a RespOrg, which, according to the FCC, is an entity that has access to the SMS/800 database if you want to assume a toll-free vanity number. (A RespOrg may or may not be a phone company.) Ask if the toll-free vanity number you want to assume is in use. (See Reference 1.) Visit the SMS/800 website or call the SMS/800 Help Desk at 1-888-SMS-3300. (See Resource 1.) Call your local phone service providers to see if the number you want is available if you do not want a toll-free number.
2. Keep checking with the RespOrg or with your local phone companies from time to time if the business phone number you want is still in use. Businesses may drop various phone numbers and take on new ones, go out of business, merge with other companies, or myriad other things may happen during the times between which you check if the number you want is available.
3. Read the news about the company whose phone number you want for your business. Check the company's website to see if the customer service number or other number it has that you want has changed recently.
4. Ask the customer service representative to reserve the number for your business if the number you want is available. Sign-up for the phone number, and assume it for your business' use.
