I never checked that idea out, mainly due to lack of motivation, and also since I don't know where such an operating stingray might be at any given time.   But if the power consumption of such a phone could be monitored continuously, that might implement a cheap, easy "Stingray detector".

Federal lawz require a cellphone without service to be able to dial 911
for some period of time after service is discontinued. After some period
of time the battery is dead and no, the Stingray won't turn it on.
