www.takedown.com - cheesy but cute. Actually, I had problem with my CDMA phone today. I called the GTE techs to let them know they were having problems (I am not the one to usually complain -- they really did have problems). They were able to tell me which cell the call was made from. But that is not that exciting -- I can put my phone in debug mode and see the cell # for myself (gotta love default passwords). What was more interesting is that they knew approximately where in the cell was I, which neighbor cells the phone was trying to use (since the one I was in was dying - reason for the problems). They even told me when I entered the cell to the nearest minute. I wonder how satellite phones will affect this (project iridium).
