7:30 not true, don't feel safe if you are in att , the prob recides because some signaling still uses 3g it has to, and with this it is vulnerable even if the whole network is 5g.

I'm fully aware any phone company can track your location, even companies that are not your service provider, but what I want to know is whether the tracking can be done retroactively. For example, if the telephone company (or the government) suddenly wants to know exactly where I was at 9am on Sept 11, 2001, would the cell phone company have that information handy, or do the companies have to actively decide to record all that data for specific users for specific time frames. It seems unlikely that they record every user's location every minute of every day for 20 years. Just talking in very rough numbers, assuming that there are 1 billion people with cell phones, and it takes 100 bytes of data to store a GPS location, and there roughly 1 million minutes in a year, that's getting close to an Exabyte of data storage per year. That's almost as much data as all of Google's servers worldwide. Therefore I don't expect that the cell companies are recording our locations retroactively/permanently. It's possible that they might retroactively store locations for a week, but I don't think they even ping your location unless they have a specific reason to ping it, like a telephone call being delivered to your phone.
Ok, this ended up taking a lot more effort to explain than I thought it would, but here it goes, lol: They wouldn't have to record it for every minute, only when it changes. To do otherwise would simply be a waste of space, as it doesn't add any new information. With aggressive data compression, storing this wouldn't be difficult, and if the data WERE so redundant as to have the location for EVERY SECOND irrespective of whether it changed, that redundancy would be compressed aggressively. For instance, why store cccccccccc when you can store 'c10'? Modern data compression schemes are way more elaborate and effective than my example. Incidentally, CERN is storing an exabyte of their own data: home.cern/news/news/computing/exabyte-disk-storage-cern And Google has more than an exabyte of storage. Oh, and I found out that Google now does delete location history. "Automatically delete your Location History You can choose to automatically delete Location History that’s older than 3 months, 18 months, or 36 months" support.google.com/accounts/answer/3118687?hl=en#:~:text=You%20can%20choose%20to%20automatically,18%20months%2C%20or%2036%20months. But that doesn't mean that they actually delete it, just that they don't guarantee you will have access to it. But this is new, I think. They didn't used to.
(most people are stationary for a lot longer than they're moving!) Google records your location all the time. You can download your entire location history from them if you want. (This is separate from any location information your carrier may record. They probably have their own policies on that, and I don't know what they are).
The phone is in constant communication with the base station at all times. At the very least, it is transmitting "here I am do you hear me?" over and over and over, and the base station is doing the same thing. There is never a moment when your phone is on that it isn't transmitting and receiving something. The mobile phone system wouldn't work otherwise. Even old analog cell phones did this. You can pick up the noise with a radio scanner. Most (probably all) phones have a "test" or "engineer" mode that you can put them in that gives you all these additional options. Among them is usually a screen that displays a constantly changing dump of a lot of this data, along with signal strength, etc.
They won't readily admit to it, but carriers store all of your text messages. You can obtain a log of every text you have sent or received (at least T-Mobile will give it to you). They don't give you the messages themselves, but I suspect they keep them. Law enforcement can get them with a subpoena. They may flush them after a number of years, not sure, but they do not flush the logs. That I am positive of.
@@bsadewitz So you didn't watch the Murdaugh trial? In that case, the phone company couldn't get his location data, even though the government had a warrant for the information. I think that makes the truth very clear. You imagine that the government and the telcos are all-seeing and all-knowing. But they aren't. They couldn't even offer that information for the Murdaugh murder trial. I'm not going to explain how SS7 works. You are free to do your own research.

Thanks… is there a way to see who and when is tracking me?
Depends on the tracking medium, there are ways to block it and figure it out. It's not always accurate
Good video but it's NSO not NGO!!!
Excellent video
私は今共通信令回線SS7のハッキングを受けています、制御信号をSMStextに忍ばせてYOU TUBEの閲覧妨害、タップ出来ないようにされています。
短い証拠動画も２本アップロードしました。日本ではSS7による事件が多発していると思います。
Thanks for the great information here.
I've sent you a couple of emails regarding this happening to me in new zealand
Do you have a way I can contact you? This is happening to me big time in new zealand
Get a new sim card and number. And get your old sim card deactivated by asking the people you bought it from
👏
