Say for instance I did not make any phone calls or send any text messages which would trigger the nearby cell towers can you still track where the cell phone was even if its using LTE only
iPhone 6s, iOS 9.2
yes as long as it is connected to cellular data or wifi you can track it using find my iphone, assuming you had it turned on.

Thank you, I had that turned on but I did not lose my phone. Say for instance I was in an area for a short period of time (maybe an hour) and no text messages or phone calls were made would anyone be able to locate exactly where that phone was located at that time?

Please re read my reply. it still applies if you get no calls or text message.
How can you see where the phone was then?

What?
Can you explain in details what your situation is and what your trying to figure out.
I told you this in the other post you made regarding 2G, but for Find My iPhone to work, your device has to have had Find My iPhone activated, the device needs to be powered on, and it needs to have an active connection to the internet, whether Wi-Fi or cellular. You do not have to make a call, or text, or anything. If you know cellular technology, your phone is constantly pinging the nearby towers on a regular basis to allow the network to know your location to be able to deliver calls to you. How else do you think that the network would know what tower to route your call to?
I got myself in a bad situation with where I actually told my parents I was one night and I'm trying to prove to them where I really was. It was a few days ago now but is there any way to track that phones location? It was turned on but no calls or text messages were made at all. In other words, can you go back in time and find out where that phone was?
No, you cannot. The Find My iPhone app tracks in real time. The only exception is if the battery dies on the device and you have it set to save the location for the last 24 hours. You are going to have to figure out another way to get yourself out of your situation. You phone isn't going to help you.
I understand this but I'm also not referring to real time it was a couple of days ago where my phone was located? Frequent locations doesn't show me being where I really was which makes no sense. All the location services were on at the time.
Oh well.
You're welcome.
Last question is there any way I can prove where my phone was on that night? Through the Verizon service provider or anything else? Can you get a stingray device?

This should've been your original post instead of us going around in circles trying to figure what you want after we've already answered your questions.

no
