Do cell phones that have internet access have ip addresses? And like can you backtrack people from cell phones...like get their information, know who they are? Am I making sense?

I would assume you would only get the cell phone service provider's IP shrug

cell phone providers usually act as a proxy for each user. So an external site would see the cell provider's info instead of each phone. Think of it as a glorified LAN.
