Depends. If it's a typical cell phone account, yes. If it's a prepaid phone then no...with one caveat. They can trace where the phone was purchased AND they can trace the general location that the call was made from.

The best reverse cell phone lookup service that I have tried is http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=538
From using a reverse cell phone lookup you will be able to get the callers name and address just by typing the phone numbers they will tell you the details related to the number. The reverse cell phone lookup service has your details available they will give you the cell phones location. For a full report including a name and address and other interesting informations you will have to pay. All reverse cell phone lookup services charge for the information as it is a contract bind between the mobile company and themselves, where they pay for the info. 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. If you only want to reverse lookup one cell phone or land-line phone number you will be charged about $15 but if you need to reverse lookup more than one phone or cell phone number you can get a years access to their database.
Free reverse phone lookup sites generally provide the most basic of information such as name and it works only for landlines. 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.
This service is great, I used it a lot f time with great results: I always obtained what I was searching for. I definitly reccomend this service, check it out: http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=538

Yes... it is more complicated, but they normally have to get a quick warrant which allows them to contact the cell company, and they use account information to tell who owns the phone based on the number. They can do this even if you used *72 to block your number. They can also find out where you were when you placed the call using triangulation with the cell towers.
Don't you watch CSI dude?!?! LOL!

Yes they can trace a mobile phone number. Also, they will be able to tell you what time the call was, who the call was to and where you were at when you made the call.

yes, even more easily that a home phone, and if your hiding from the police in some way i suggest abandoning the cell phone and using morise code to talk to people. that or give yourself up

YES, they use the cell towers to locate you now. All cell phones are equiped with GPS now because of the 911 call problems in the past.

Not only can they trace it, they can track where you have been and where you are as long as your phone is on. Rule of thumb, if you can read the clock on your cell, you can be tracked.

yes, but i think they need a warrant or probable cause and such... they trace either by GPS on some phones, or triangulation from cell sites.
