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?

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.
