Where is someone's cellphone? How will this be possible after all? Friends, today I will clear all the doubts related to your cellphone tracking. So let's know -

Uses Triangulation method.

Friends, police use Triangulation method to track police cellphone. As you would know that the SIM in all of our mobile phones is connected to the network tower, so we get an estimate of the distance / range between the two from the signal strengths.

Network Rang is inferred from

Now this estimate may be different for different networks like if SIM is on 2G network then its range will be different if SIM is on 3G or 4G networks then their range will be different.

Now the police call that network provider (like Airtel, Idea, Jio) and find out how far it is from the phone tower.

Take the example-

Now suppose that the police came to know that this phone is 100 meters away from this one tower, then in which direction or direction it is 100 meters away, it will not be known because there is a distance of 100 meters anywhere on all sides.  can. In such a situation, sense is not made from 1 tower.

Now suppose the police comes to know that this phone is at a distance of 100 meters from the first tower and 200 meters from the second tower. So even then we will not get any single point.  In such a situation, many points will be found which will have the same distance.

But friends, if the police find a phone at a distance from 3 towers, that this phone is 100 meters away from 1 tower, 200 meters from the second and 300 meters from the third, then friends will get only one point. From whom this distance will be. In this case, we will have a fixed range as you can see in the image below.

Now friends, as I told you that this is only a range, it is not an exact point. So friends, the police cannot tell the exact where the phone is.

For example, if the police comes to know that the phone is in an area where there are 15 flats, then the police cannot tell the exact in which flat the phone is. Friends, this happens only in movies.
