Is there a relatively simple way to track the location of a mobile phone in
the UK? Ideally free, obviously, but low-cost would be useful.

The phone isn't particularly sophisticated (it belongs to my son) but it
would be useful to know where he is.

Many thanks.

Without GPS, you won't get much accuracy. There are applications
available to provide location information but it depends on the handset...

So long as he is on either O2, Vodafone, Orange & T-mobile, 192.com and
verilocation.com offer mobile tracking services.

If it has web access, he can install Google Latitude. Not that accurate,
but good enough in most cases (the circle of uncertainty varies in size
depending location). I can track him well enough for my purposes.
