An application free method to locate a mobile phone in a given area without user consent or provider help

There are many cases where a user's exact location has to be revealed and this can be done by locating his mobile phone. This paper presents a method to achieve this with great accuracy, only given as input the mobile phone number and the greater area it is located in (e.g. the city or the neighborhood). The methodology is absolutely autonomous and there is no need to install any software or application in the phone. Furthermore, no special infrastructure has to be in place in the area and no prior setup or prior arrangements have to take place at an earlier point in time before the moment the location trace is actually needed. The principle of operation is based on techniques that stealthily force the mobile phone to transmit radio waves according to the will of the tracer and on tracing the direction with appropriate direction-finding antennas, until the exact position of the phone is ultimately found.
