Locating cellphones based on towers is based more on the timing advance and less on raw signal strength. And I'm not sure what you mean by "blind repeaters"?

If that's the usual cheap dumb cellular repeaters one can find on ebay, than they will just cause noise on the cellbands if not properly installed and thus be actively hunted down by the telco as they degrade service.
- lrvick 4y agoPut the cheap dumb repeaters in vehicles, turned on only when in motion, or in backbacks, so the telcos have a hard time tracking them down. Where possible, manipulate timing too. Would this cause total chaos? Yes. Promise telcos the chaos ends when they agree to allow IEMI randomization like most WiFi devices do with MAC addresses today. We will need some new forms of protest to get our rights to privacy back.
