one can trust the marketing spiel or test it themselves ( catch 22 )

If concerned about this then you might purchase one of these and notify law enforcement how to track your movements. That would be an interesting offer. I wonder how they would respond?

The Love My Pets GPS Dog Collar - What is it?

The LovemypetsGPS safety collar was developed to enhance the safety of your pet, both in terms of quick recovery in the event of dislocation and also to enhance the safety of your pet at night, as many of our pets are killed or injured at night as a result of being struck by vehicles.
Quick feature list of the safety collar:

Ability of the GPS unit to IMMEDIATELY obtain the location of your missing pet on demand!
Once the location has been determined, you can set the device on your computer for interval tracking as frequently as every 60 seconds, in the event your pet is moving around.
Ability to set up a GEO Fence*.
You can also receive an E-mail or SMS text when device travels outside established GEO Fence.
Glow in the dark banding on the collar to alert the driver of a vehicle that there is an object in the roadway ahead.
Reflective material on the webbing on the collar, harness, and leash that will light up when struck from an external light source, such as the headlights of an approaching vehicle.
High quality materials used in the construction of the safety collar.
The collars GPS envelope and the GPS unit are both water resistant.
Long battery life-up to 2 weeks of stand-by time*

*A geofence is a circular, virtual boundary you can set around a GPS device. Its radius can be as small as 100 yards or as large as 1000 yards (10 city blocks). Its purpose is to alert you whenevever the device leaves its boundary.

I do not believe so, however as soon as you remove the phone from the pouch, you will get your messages on who called you. This would be very easy to test by calling your phone while in the pouch or dialing the phone and immediately putting it in the pouch...neither should work.
I would use it all the time except when I was needing to take an immediate call. The added bonus is to protect the magnetic strips in credit cards and drivers license.
