Locate phone users - technology released to the public?




Topic started on 21-11-2008 @ 06:54 AM by george_gaz


Hello,

I saw this and was hoping that someone could help me translate it ... I hope that it is not what I think it is ...


Welcome to the Service Localisation API

This service localisation API from Orange enables your applications to get geographic coordinates of a given Orange France mobile phone or a fleet (delivery of raw location data).

Location system delivers location results as a triple coordinate (X;Y;Z). This service works on any mobile terminal, including indoor with a 98% GSM territory network coverage.




Is this saying that as an Orange customer I can locate any other Orange mobile phone by tapping their number into this API?

Invasion of privacy springs to mind.

Cheers

I found a similar site and my friend and I experimented with it to see if it could track people. The site that we found doesn't give you live tracking - all it does is give you the coordinates to the billing address of the owner. Maybe what you have found is live tracking but the one that I know of gives the impression that it's live but is deceptive.

Most common are ones that allow parents to track their child's mobile phones,
