Just fair to point out that this works only for specific gsm
operators, so Bharath, you're out of luck.

Location services involves enabling equipment or technology on the
operator network, which can range from expensive to horrendously
expensive, depending on accuracy.

I implemented a very basic version of this in BPL Mobile in India
around 2001 or so, based on a SIM-based application. We sold it to
corporates to track their corporate employee phones. It was never made
available to individual subscribers as far as I know.

I must admit that I had fun scaring colleagues, calling them up from
Bangalore and asking them what they were doing in specific localities
of Mumbai!

Ram
