Can they do that while the mobile is off?
How's that anyway?

Hey guys..Either you are positive about it or not, i want to be positive about the possibility of tracking a switched-off phone or not!

It is possible , they trace the signal the mobile phone sends to whatever satellite or coverage tower. This might get a little confusing as a mobile phone recieves signal from the tower , but it still has to send a small signal as a request for that coverage pretty much just like when you click a link on a website. When the mobile's off it can only be traced through the passive energy wave released from the battery , which wouldn't be exactly tracing the particular phone but any mobile phone compatible batteries within a certain area

Yes, but obviously not when the phone is switched off

Yes, that's correct, and it also works when the mobile is off. When it's off, your mobile can still receive messages for your combox.
