what are you talking about, they can all track you, and pretty easily. If your business wants to provide you with a cell phone, and they want to track you, they're allowed.
How do you ppl know the OP isn't looking for a cheaper alternative to what he is currently using to legally track his employees lets say. Its not really a whole lot of your business why he wants it, he's interested, and its not illegal...
Anyways...
Businesses who provide such devices to thier employees and law enforcement/government agencies can easily track you. Individuals cannot randomly track anyone they wish, as those services are not available to them, unless it is a special plan such as a Parent/Child setup so that the parent/guardian of said child can keep aware of the childs location. In this case, both parties have agreed to the tracking process. This isnt just looking up someones last known address/public phone record of a random person or without said persons knowledge or consent.
And since we are assuming/guessing some legitimate reasons for his needs...
For all you know, the OP may not even have a business where he wishes to track his employees during working hours, but may just be trying to track down some ex-girlfriend that finally called it quits and moved away for him being an egotistical, control freak, psycho, abusive boyfriend and wants to be left alone and never hear from him again.
There are illegitimate reasons that one could use such services for as well (as my example above), which is why such services are unavailable to the general public. Need to track someone down because of a real emergency? Call the cops, not Verizon.
