This is not correct, senor GNUbahn. A phone without a sim card can indeed  
make emergency calls and in many countries this is law, but it certainly can  
not be tracked by it's IMEI alone. To track a phoon a sim must be inserted  
inside the phoon. In fact if no sim card is present in da phoon and you call  
say 911 and then after a few seconds end the call, the operator of the  
service will not be able to call you back.
IMEI is also how most thieves get caught, for they are ignorant on the  
matter, they know they have to remove the sim and most of them also knows  
they need to factory reset the phoon, but they ignore one simple matter, ones  
any sim is connected to any cellular network it is sending it's phone number  
together with the IMEI number to the cell towers..
Consider also keeping your phoon in airplane mode all the time for added  
peace of mind..
