IPhones have cell triangulation..?

Question

From a question I asked before, someone said they have cell triangulation. Apparently, its what 911 uses to find your location, and its usually accurate to a few blocks too. I just lost my iphone. Do you think that somehow I could use cell triangulation to find it? And if so, how?!?

Answer 1

Not from a remote location. If you had your iPhone with you their is a program for jailbroken(hacked) iPhones called lojack that updates the phones position and takes a picture from the phone every 10 mins but other than that your out of luck sorry.

Answer 2

They can only do so if someone makes a call from the cell phone.

Even so, I think they will only do that for 911 emergencies and for cases like homicide.

Still, you could try and ask them.
