A problem(?) inherent in the way cell phones work. It has nothing to do with your phone & everything to do with your phone service. If it worries you (speaking generally, not to you OP), your only real choice is to ditch your cell phone (satellite phone might be an option, but even then they will know where you are when you have it on).

i have, and that is a part of the software that cannot be disabled as far as i know. It was kind of helpful in finding the right authorities to report to. Found a DUI driver at 5:30 in the morning, and it took several transfers to get to the right department, since the driver was driving across different jurisdictions.
