So it's the Agent that has the GPS data and it sends that data when it decdes to call in TT. This is also an ideal stituation for use of one time pads. Short messages between prearranged correspondents,

The "phone" in question probably does have radio but IR and Laser too. See how small and cheap the smallest versions of each of those is and bundle it with a Tiny computer. The IR might supercede what is conventional cell in our time in a sort of"micro-cell" network but TT can maintain it's own open air laser link set-up with overhead drones.
