I am trying to figure out exactly how a call from a cell phone would be completely untraceable. It seems to me that even if you used a stolen, pre-paid, or disposable phone to keep your identity from being known, wouldn't the tower that took your call give a pretty good idea of your location? I've heard of bouncing the call off many towers or satelites. . .

I'm just trying to make a believable explanation for why a 5 second phoen call would not be traceable even to the continent that it originated form.

Any ideas from electronic saavy FoLC out there?


thanks!
