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
Yeah I know my fault. Do you think a stingray device could track where my phone really was even if it was using LTE only?

That tracks the device in real time as well, if you were under surveillance. My gracious man, what did you do? If you are looking at jail time, contact a lawyer. If not, let it rest. You cannot explain to mom and dad where you were if they don't want to believe you. This isn't a case for the FBI.
Of course not an FBI case. I just was out at a friends house and my parents don't believe that I was there and i'm trying to plead my case to them by proving to them where I was the whole night. What do you mean by "real time if you were under surveillance"?

You should sit down with your parents and talk this out, seems to be a bigger issue here that we can't help you with.
Best of luck.
Sounds good thanks.
What do you think?
If you wanted to get information from the stingray device, it would be if law enforcement was watching you. That is what surveillance means.

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?

I don't think that is something the OP would want to do to explain to mom & pop, but then it took two different threads and a great deal of questions skirting around the subject before finally coming clean that the OP was in trouble at home. Go figure. 😉

I'm sure they wouldn't. Mostly, I was trying to emphasis that while it's possible, it's not practical.
Also, I had the thread open in my browser for a while and didn't realize it had moved on until I hit "Post". 😉

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.
No I was not under surveillance when I was out a few nights ago what do you mean by this? What do you mean I can't do what I 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.

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