After hearing an advert on the radio I thought would pay a visit to locateAmobile. But I
guess that as the system uses GSM mobile masts for area is not highly accourate. Here is the demo message (obscuring my number) I received after sending "where am i" to the locateAmobile Short-Code :- 89222.
locateAmobile
DEMO
(+4479XXXXXXXX)
Located in the vicinity of :
Mitcham Junction
Mitcham
Surrey
SM52BJ
Approx:900m away.
Also you have to pay £1.00 pm for each mobile registered and then pay for each search you undertake.
Inaccuracies due to GSM masts:-
• Postcode is wrong (SM5 is Carshalton not Mitcham)
• I live in Sutton not Mitcham
• Says I am 900m away, but am nearly 5km away from Mitcham.
