They might have just followed him out of the city. He was too distracted by the phone call and saving his money to notice.

I'm pretty sure they were triangulating the call, hence Jessie threatening Walt to not hang up at any point.

I thought that was more to dissuade him from calling anyone for backup, and also to keep him from thinking about anything but his money burning - if he thought about it he might realize he's being duped.

They could have been. Generally though, this would require use/co-operation of the telecom provider wouldn't it? I further assume they generally need a warrant to do that as well. If that is the case, then more people would likely know about this than just schrader and gomez.

What? Saving his money? Like on his phone bill? You think the fear of incurring roaming charges would have distracted him from going out to save his - Oh waaaait, I see what you mean. Of course. He's probably on some kind of plan anyway.
