Open Cell Id

This project is an open source project, aiming to create a complete database of CellID worlwide, with their locations.
Project provides free access to tools, data to not only create this database, but also retreive location informations.
Hundreds of developers have already join the projet. They created clients for Nokia S60 phones, Sony-Ericsson, blackberry or for windows mobiles…

But what is a CellID?: a CellID is the unique number of a GSM cell for a given operator. Your phone is always connected to a Cell, and by nowing this number, you know the Cell, and by knowing the position of the cell, you know where you are. There is some accuracy issue, as the cell can cover from several hundreds of meters to several kilometers, but this could be a very good starting point to locate yourself.

More than 600.000 cells have already been discovered around the world.
