Abstract
Methods () and devices () enable tracking using existing mobile networks' infrastructure. A radio module (, R,) that is attached to a shipment sends one or more network attachment requests including a network-type identifier. Although the requests are rejected, the network records location information if the network-type identifier is actively associated with a shipment identifier.
