Even if something like this hasn't been done, you can rest assured (or not) that the wireless provider has logs showing the device traveling as long as it is on (no calls necessary), even if it isn't a smartphone. It just takes judicial subpoenas to gain access to them, and if someone is kidnapped then I'm pretty sure that subpoena would happen. I should qualify this with, it wouldn't be a GPS location, it would be somewhere to within tens or hundreds of meters.
Anyways, if you are kidnapped and have your phone, why not just make a call?
