AT&T will be offering a new "Find Friends" service that will allow users to track another users cell phone location to the nearest tower:
Customers who sign up for AT&T Wireless' "Find Friends" feature opt to be found by other members. The service is available in any of two dozen areas where AT&T Wireless has a cellular telephone network using GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). Find Friends will be sold with AT&T Wireless' mMode plan, which costs $2.99 or more a month.
The AT&T Wireless service determines the position of a cell phone based on the nearest cellular antenna. In metropolitan areas like Chicago, where there are a large number of cell antennae, people can use the service to locate a phone within a city block. But accuracy diminishes in rural areas, where cellular antennae are often miles apart, an AT&T Wireless representative said.
