By the way, if you are subpeonaing from California, T-Mobile will accept service by fax, even for cell tower information – no court order required. Sue Johnson handles California subpoenas. Her phone number is 973-292-8906 (direct line).

Once you get the records with the tower locations, how do you read these? The records I got give me a chart with eight columns: Call type, calling number, called number, call duration, answer dt, disconnect dt, first cell, and first LAC. Under “first cell” there seems to be a five-digit number code (which is not a zip code) and under “first LAC” there is a number code that is either two digit, three digit or five digit. Is there a map or key I should be using with this or should I have received something from T-Mobile to translate the locations? Any help would be extremely useful. Thanks.

Looking for an AT&T Cell Phone Expert for an automobile accident. Also need the expert to be experienced with billing records for the explanation of text, data transfers and call times.

I have found that they accept service by fax or email for subscriber and toll information, but cell tower information requires a court order.

Hi Mark, thanks for posting the info for each of the custodians of record. My question is: will they accept service by mail/fax of a subpoena duces tecum? We are in San Diego, CA, and have a criminal case pending for which I need to obtain records regarding tower/location of cell phone when calls were made. I just don’t know if they require personal service, or if service by mail is valid. Thanks.

I’m not sure. I think they may have obtained a court order.

My understanding is that some of the celcos are able to retrieve text messages for a short time (like 30 days) and that they will produce them in response to a court order (but not a subpoena). Did the federal investigators in Los Angeles have access to teh engineer’s handset?
