Hi, and welcome to Android Central Forums.

Your worries are not well founded. I can assure you it takes more than just having your number to get your location, unless you're concerned about law enforcement.

Welcome to Android Central! They could only do that if they're in law enforcement (and have a legitimate reason to track your phone, like if you dialed 911), or if you're actively sharing your location with them.
