Love the solar idea.... It's a potato chip bag turned inside out, cut into the layers so I can block tracking on my phone and it works!!! It's fun to actually have a techie thing work! And how do you know it works? I can already assure you some of the science is wrong-a turned off phone cannot be pinged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BacKaran Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I never heard of that. When I take the phone out of the bag it says no service for a minute or two. I'll research the turned off phone, perhaps I don't need my tub foil hat after all! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have a clue? If you are a techie and know, don't say anything yet! I'm a techie so I didn't want to say anything. But then I saw that you gave the answer already. I have one just like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BacKaran Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 So if my phone is turned off, it still pings right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Teditis Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 From what I understand, many of the newer phones can still be "pinged" as long as the battery is in it. And even then, some have capacitors in them that will allow the geo-locating feature to still work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also lost my Iphone almost immediately. I asked my Ipad where my Iphone was. It said,"Don't you remember where you left the potato chip bag?"
