And no you cant use the opt out feature. The only real "Opt out" for this is to remove the battery.

I understand. Just because a device has GPS doesn't necessarily mean it's activated it all times. Something has to poll it for it to be active at least on Android devices anyway. You can have GPS turned on but unless an application polls it for whatever reason then it's not active. If there's a program installed w/the OS that polls it at all times and sends all information to an Apple server to be logged along with user information then that's a whole different animal there.

As long as you stay on the phone with them for 61 seconds! It always cracked me up how TV and Movies have this long held belief that when tracking a number you have to keep them on the line for a specified period of time yet when you call me I know who you are immediately.. it's called Caller ID bitches!
