  0 0 Capicola has it. Anyways, area codes are weirdly shaped and vary widely in size. Triangulation via cell towers (which all phones do and requires no additional power) is faster (no area code geographic look-up tables) and vastly more accurate.

It certainly seems possible, though most automated techniques seem to rely on GPS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_tracking Good idea to save battery for general location fixes, though! fbaum answered in Tech Products 12 months ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.
