There's others that go into more specific detail.
said by Thespis: I'd love to know how a phone with no power can transmit audio. Maybe it only works if you're wearing a tinfoil hat... If you've got a battery in your phone, there's juice flowing through it. Only way to fully turn off a mobile phone is to remove the battery.

I used to work on the systems that helped make this possible.
The phones can e hijacked to send data back on all networks. The same system that allows sms messaging also allows phone tracking.
Some companies even have this worked into their phone triangulation software to provide up to the minute traffic congestion reports to their subscribers.
