Question
QUESTION: i was looking to get a cell phone tracking thing to check on my daughters phone activity, but she has a metro pcs phone, no sim card. is there another way to get that info since there is not a card?

ANSWER: Sasha, you have a metro pcs phone, so i will assume you already have your service with metro pcs.  Metro PCS, offers a location based GPS service...here's some details from their website....  Unlimited Loopt
Loopt uses GPS technology to automatically share your real-time location with your friends so you don’t always have to tell them where you are. Navigating your mobile lifestyle is easier, faster and more fun with Loopt. Included free with $50 plans. Available for $4 per month with $35, $40 and $45 plans. ($35 plan requires text messaging subscription.)....Sasha, if you don't already have service with metro pcs, there are other options with other carriers.  Let me know and i can get that information to you.  Hope this helps.

QUESTION: i was looking to get into her text messages n deleted text messages n things like that the sim card readers say they do that n with no sim card is there any way i can get those? do i need to get a different provider to be able to get to those???

Answer
Sasha, without a sim card you will only be able to get into the messages that haven't been deleted.  I have zero experience with those sim card readers that say they can get into deleted messages.  The research that i've seen clearly states that the sim reader SHOULD be able to read all deleted messages.  I would take notice to the word should.
