How to prevent Sprint Family Locator from tracking iPhone 4?

I have an iPhone 4 and my dad recently added Sprint Family Locator services to the account. I'm really uncomfortable with this because now I can't go see my girlfriend or do anything else without him knowing (he doesn't like her).It's not like I'm selling drugs or in a gang or something, I just want some privacy. I'm 18, but I don't want to pay for my own phone so don't tell me to just get my own account.

Is there a way for me to prevent the service from finding my phone without putting it in airplane mode (i.e.still able to talk, text, use data, etc.)? I don't have access to the account so I can't test out different things like turning off location services or mobile data, and I'm not sure that would even work as the website says it can triangulate based on cell tower distance.

I've considered turning off location services, somebody please tell me if that works. I would rather not have to turn off all of the communications functions of the phone. Thanks!

P.S. Don't give me any bullshit about it being "his account, his rules" or "what do you have to hide" because I've already thought about that and for me it's a matter of privacy and respect, not deception and secrecy.

I would try turning off the location services/gps. But they may track you by the cell towers. You may be able to gain access to the service yourself and make it so they can't track you.

  • What is the best iPhone locator app? I know none of them are perfect, but my phone had some of my favorite apps on it… Bla bla blaa… But I think it may have been stolen and I want proof, and more importantly, I don't want my phone to be lost again. It needs to be compatible with preferably a Macbook Pro 10.6.8 Mac OS X (no Retina, I don't think there's Mountain Lion), but just an iPad works too. Find my iPhone could work, but I can't find it on my Mac because it is only compatible with iPhone and iPad

  • Sprint Family/Data Plan Okay, so right now I have a family "simply everything messaging" plan that doesn't include data. I'm wanting to upgrade my basic phone to an iphone without changing my whole plan to a family data plan. I saw online the option for adding a data service onto one phone for $15. Does that mean that i can keep my old plan and pay $15 for data a month extra just for the iphone? Or what exactly is the added "data service?" Thanks so Much!
