Re: Daughter's cell phone randomly shows up in Monterey, Mexico

Since I changed her Tracker ID I've not had a single report out of our metro area. I have had a few altitude anomalies that would indicate a multi-path signal as hutch109 talked about, but the location reported is within a few blocks or a few miles of where I would expect her to be as opposed to a d...

Re: Daughter's cell phone randomly shows up in Monterey, Mexico

I have not seen a period of consistent reports like I had the other morning. It's now back to 1-3 reporting cycles in Monterey and back to the Midwest. Hutch109: I'm just trying to make some sense of why it would work so reliably for years and suddenly have an anomaly pop up such as Monterey. This a...

Re: Daughter's cell phone randomly shows up in Monterey, Mexico

Just spoke to my daughter. The phone was off from Midnight till about 11:30-12:00 this morning. I also received a report showing her where I expected her to be at 11:58 AM this morning. I asked about her old phone, on the off chance that it was donated\sold and somehow ended up in Mexico, but the ol...

Re: Daughter's cell phone randomly shows up in Monterey, Mexico

It was typically reporting in Mexico just a few reporting cycles of 5-6 minutes each and then returning to the Midwest. This morning I noticed reports stopped at 11:57 PM last night, she probably turned her phone off, and at 5:07 AM this morning to the present time it has reported as being in Monter...

Re: Daughter's cell phone randomly shows up in Monterey, Mexico

Appreciate the reply, but the phone is a new i880 as of December 2007. It was a Christimas gift. It replaced an aging i850 and actually works much better as far as GPS and battery life goes except for this Mexico anomaly. Duplicate ID won't be a problem. It could be because the aging phone is gettin...

Daughter's cell phone randomly shows up in Monterey, Mexico

I have an account on the free server that has worked great for several years. In the last few weeks my daughter's phone will randomly show up as being located in Monterey, Mexico and then 5 minutes later back in the Midwest where I just spoke to her. She's 15 and has never been to Mexico nor has her...
