Can you geolocate an old phone model via SMS?

[Geral]

Is it possible to find the coordinates of an older mobile device by sending a simple text link? I am trying to see if this method works flawlessly across all older cell phone brands and models.

Yes, in many cases an older phone can still be geolocated through an SMS link, as long as the device can open a browser and access mobile internet. The accuracy depends on GPS support, network permissions, and whether the user taps the link and grants location access. Very old feature phones may not work perfectly, especially models without internet or GPS functions. A service like GEOfinder is often used because it supports many devices and works through a simple text message without requiring app installation.
