Stingray Phone Tracker

In active mode, the StingRay will force each compatible cellular device in a given area to disconnect from its service provider cell site (i.e., operated by Verizon, AT&T, etc.) and establish a new connection with the StingRay.[12]

Only on account of the Stingray being setup on the (and ostensibly 'overriding' the original) control channel the phone *was* parked on ... there is nothing intrinsically in the protocol (since the phishers would have to be active in the network to accomplish this) to 'force' the phone off one CC to another ...
