They actually list a # of methods they use in their Location Studio SDK .. pretty interesting ..
One thing Ive always wanted to do was examine the raw headers from multiple cells to see what location based (mobile station ID) info there was or might be .. has anyone experimented with anything like that in the city?

The app would need to translate the cross streets into something like lat/long before doing location comparisons. You'd also want your database to have both street address and lat/long--or again, a way for the app to derive one from the other.
It seems the smart system would be to add an SMS gateway to an internet
database.
BTW, A quick look at sourceforge for SMS utilities brings up PlaySMS: https://sourceforge.net/projects/playsms/ and http://playsms.sourceforge.net/web/
(Beta, but looks promising (PHP, PEAR, SQL integration, and GPL)
There's also http://kannel.org/ . It claims to be both a WAP and SMS
gateway; it requires a C Compiler.
