How can I defeat my boss's GPS cell phone tracking on my phone?

I can't turn the phone off and remove the battery. The boss owns the phone and pays the bill but I don't want him knowing where I am 24/7. One solution I thought of was to divert all calls to my own private cell phone and leave my work cell somewhere or place it in one of those 'film safe' bags so it can't pick up the network / GPS. Also I can't hack the software or cause any damage to the phone. Any advice appreciated.

    Leaving aside the issue of the state of your marriage (others have said plenty already), you probably can't do what you want to do (but I realise that they do use this "technology" in so many TV shows I can understand why you think it might be possible). First, most cell phones don't have GPS. The location of cell phones can be tracked to some extent by the base stations that receive their signal (they "ping" periodically when switched on). However, I doubt the phone company will tell you this information without a court order. If a cell phone does have GPS, then that enables the phone user to know where they are. It does not transmit that information to anyone else, unless it is also a tracker unit. Some GPS units do record a track of where they have been, so if your husband happened to have a tracking GPS unit and you got your hands on it afterwards, you might be able to see where he went.

    A reverse cell phone lookup service I have used is http://reversephone.toptips.org/

    Enter the number in the system and they will tell you a lot of informations about the phone number and the person who owns it.

    If they have extra details you will have to pay for the report.

    Free reverse phone lookup sites generally don't provide anything interesting. To get further information, money will have to be paid. The free searches do not provide much more than what can be found through the phone book.

    The best thing is that you can get informations about anyone!!

    Why can't you turn the phone off when not at work?

    It's a work phone, you shouldn't need it for anything other than work and unless you're being paid to be on call there is no reasonable grounds why the boss should require you to have it switched on outside of normal hours.

    reverse phone number search compiles hundreds of millions of phone book records to help locate the owner's name, location, time zone, email and other public information.

    Use a reverse phone lookup to:

    Get the identity of an unknown caller.

    Identify an area code.

    Recall the name of a person whose number you wrote down.

    Identify an unfamiliar phone number that shows up on your bill.
