Settings on your Cell Phone

I wanted to pass it onto you.

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 "E911" in which case you

must dial out to be located, or it can be set to be on all the time.  I

called my cell phone company and was assured there is no negative

consequence (like higher battery use) from having it on all 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).


This is a feature that ALL cell phones have.  It's called "Location".

It's under the "Settings" tool.  Once you turn this on, THEN your phone is

traceable. To stay safe, everyone needs to check their phone and turn this

on!!!  Please pass the word to everyone you know.
