very simple- the phone is transmitting information to Sprint's network, who determines your location based on the info it receives and using tower triangulation to supplement (notice that its accurate to something like 100 yards, not nearly as accurate as real GPS).

In other words, Sprint knows where you are, but the phone doesn't necessarily. This is not true GPS in which the phone would know its own location, therefore you can't really use it for much.

Yeah, I have Family locator service too and can locate myself, but for my Mogul it gives a large area where it might be, were as my son's Razar V3 it gives a small area of 9 yards he is in. I can tell if he's inside his freinds house or outside.

As soon as they make it so that it can also tell if he's playing video games or doing his homework then sign me up!
