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
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?

A Stingray is something that appears to the phone to be a legitmate cell tower but isn't. Even if you could afford one, and, even if it wasn't illegal for you to use one, it would only tell you where the phone is now. An attorney can submit a subpoena to Verizon for information on what towers the phone was pinging off of at any given time. There would have to be some sort of legal reason to do this. And, you'd need to pay the attorney.
Exactly what I was looking for and no legal action is required for my situation but would a stingray device still pin off cell towers if my phone only uses LTE nothing else and no phone calls or text messages were made?

Unless you were under surveillance by law enforcement at the time in question or can get a lawyer to get the information for you, you can't do what you want.

You are not understanding here. This device cannot be used after the fact. There is nothing now that can give you your location from several days ago except to get an attorney to subpoena Verizon for information, and a subpoena could not be obtained without legal standing. And I'm sorry, but you have none. You have been watching too much TV.

No I was not under surveillance when I was out a few nights ago what do you mean by this?
Chris already told you what that meant like 5 post ago.
Stop asking question there is nothing you can do with your phone to show your parents where you were.
Like I said there seems to be a bigger issue here, so have a sit down with your folks. Man up.

As Chris and razmee have explained, you cannot prove where you were using your phone. If your parents don't believe you, it may be because you've been less than forthcoming to them in the past. Now is the time to take your lumps and try to win back their trust.

No I do understand haha how could verizon see where it was located? Is there an app or anything I can do to see where it was located through verizon on my end? Should I call verizon?
Are you even reading anything anyone here has tried to tell you? There is no app, you cannot ask Verizon. The issue is done and over with. Your responsibility now is to work this out with your parents. Technology can no longer help you with this. Drop it.

I know that's exactly what i'm trying to do right now but could I have verizon look up where I was located a few days ago or again does the phone have to be within real time?
The ONLY way you're going to get Verizon to look it up is to hire a lawyer and have the records subpoenaed.
You are NOT going to get what you want here. You're going to have to work it out with our parents all by yourself. If they don't trust you, and you can't convince them otherwise, there is nothing anyone here can do about it.
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.
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?

no
If your phone is on LTE can you still track it even if no phone calls or text messages were made?
