Dusting off the Nokia 2100

[whoololon]

Following a news story that has appeared around, and which we might say has to do with the tracking of mobile phones by a government body, I have decided to return to my old Nokia 2100, which neither has GPS nor internet.

The charger didn't work, so I made a makeshift repair with the cable from a broken RGB LED lamp, which had the same connector at one end and a USB at the other. It charges perfectly and although the battery is as it is and lasts about 8 hours, as it's going to be something occasional, it suits me.

The prepaid card (bought a year ago) works well and I can make and receive calls without any problems.

So during the period when the tracking will be carried out, I will leave the Android parked, and as you can still use the "Guasa" and others while you are within range of an open WiFi network or one that you have access to, we cry for less.

It's the same if it had been voluntary I would have been indifferent, but without prior coffee or vaseline, no.

...one who is getting old.

@whoololon But do they track it with GPS or by triangulating with the mobile signal?

It is done using the IMSI in the operator's logs, which is obtained when you connect to the operators' base stations. If you have a mobile phone with a battery (Alcatel had one), they will follow you exactly with only 2G. The only way to get rid of it is to be disconnected from the network.

And from the success of these tests, many other applications will come out that they won't tell us anything about. ? ? ? ? ?

LOL, I already think that our orto is well-penetrated in terms of privacy, that takes time to do and the difference is supposed to be that now it's anonymous and for good things, I'm going to act as if this isn't happening.

I can't help but remember, however, that this mobile lasted me a week :(

It fell into the toilet and didn't come back to life. It also smelled like shit LOL, bye.

PD: We're going to drop a ton to track a good part of Spain, imagine the power that Don Google has. This Friday I'm closing my Santander account with Repsol shares already sold and I'm going to BNP with a Google share

I was just going to say that!
