Oddly, I don't have a problem with that, you need to pick up
a signal to place a call. I don't think you even need to make a
call for there to be a record kept by the companies where police
can get to it if there's some reason.

But that they keep a record on your iPhone/whatever without you
knowing, I have to guess for apps to be able to see where you go,
that creeps me.

Yeah, all those apps doing whatever they want without you knowing,
who signed up for that. Installing data collecting or whatever it is
they do.
