I always thought something like this would be good for people lost in the woods. You always hear about these people who get lost for whatever reason and they send out search crews and helicopters because they are out of range of cells. If you could dangle one from a helicopter or now use a drone all you would have to do is register the phone, not even have it be able to make a call. Once you get a registration, you know they are within a certain distance. Use a directional antenna and you could even narrow down the direction. Even if you can't precisely pinpoint the location, at least you have narrowed down the search field giving a higher chance of finding them.
