I have several cell phones lying around after switching to newer models and a different carrier. I was wondering if the phones can be used for telemetry or GPS functions. Has anyone done anything in this area?
I guess you could call and find out where it landed....(really...I do have a serious side)...worth thinking about certainly...
LOL! Cool! New voicemail greeting!

And me LOL!
Sal (Muppet) has used a cellphone as a rocket, it was an old Ericsson, with a 2 motor cluster! It was "interesting"!!

What about those GPS tracking bracelets made for children?
I've tried launching my children, and they just won't hold still (even if I give them a cell phone).
Last time I looked at thoes the bracelet actually talked to a module on the belt. Of course they did not make it obvious from the ad.

I tried (for my child)one of the bracelets with little luck. Now using a cell phone for tracking ... I can see on the web the location and establish geo-fences. Cool stuff ... There are many providers, but I am currently using addressbook.com.
