Mobile companies can locate you accurately, only if you're phone is on, and this tells them which mast you're connected to. They can only find their own customers though.

Don't think there's anyway of joe bloggs findin out though

Yeah there is some service people can use to track people with (kids, cheatin spouses) and it had a test feature where you entered a number and it would tell you where the phone was as part of the attempt to get you to register......

Damned if I can find it....

had a look and registered but got to here:

) When you hit the 'add icon' below a SMS will be sent to that mobile phone asking for their consent. Once we have received the 'OK' text reply, your location of that device will be approved. (the SMS request to that mobile will be charged at one location credit).
