News crew discovers 40 cellphone-tracking devices operating around DC

Since I don’t know how these devices determine that they are connecting to fake cell tower or not, my 2 cents could be nonsense but some cell companies supply what amounts to a mini base stations to customers who have crappy cell in their home or dead spots. I used one for couple years before moving. They basically look like cell bases to phone allowing you to cover dead spot, they then route the call over your wifi.

Anyhow, is it possible that many of the hits they are getting are devices like that, especially in built up areas where lots of tall buildings can cause issue.

As I said. no idea putting it out there.
