For cell phones with actual embedded trackers, you can usually turn off the gps tracking through the software. But for the truly paranoid, the cell phone is constantly recorded by every tower region you pass. So even if the GPS is turned off, people like 911 can track your location by triangulating between multiple towers (often to within 200 feet). The only way to bypass this is to just turn off your cell.

The only way I know to turn of the tracking is to turn off your phone. They say there is a way to remove the anttenna from the phone, but I would not do anything like that as I might break the phone and then what good is it?

You should be able to disable GPS on any phone.

Most phones should be settings>location and security>GPS satellite>turn off.

You can turn it off by going to the settings in your phone. You just need to disable the function that allows your phone to be constantly searching for a gps signal.
