Caller Location Info for pocket PC

[ageraldnaveen]

I'm a newbie in winmo development. Here is my first contribution.

This application only works for mobile numbers in India -- sorry I dont have information for other countries.

This application displays the service provider and the location to which the caller (on incoming call) or callee (on outgoing calls) belongs.

This app should work on any phone running WinMo 5 or above. I've tested it only on my ASUS p320.

How To:

After installation just click on the shortcut from Programs. That's it. I've purposely not installed the shortcut in Startup folder to give full-control to the user to choose whether or not to run the app.

Sadly, there is easy no way to exit the app other than rebooting your phone - if you have applications like process explorer, you can terminate the process at your will.

Hope you will enjoy this app!

Man, if you can get this to work with numbers from other countries, this would be one hell of an app.

I had written a similar app for my previous phone on Linux. Based on request from others I tried figuring out if such a info exists for other countries. But apparently, it looks like not many countries have a numbering scheme like India where it is possible to figure out the location,service provider from the mobile number. Infact in the US, I read that a new numbering scheme allows the subscriber to retain the mobile number across service providers. So I am afraid if this would be possible at all for other countries . In India these numbers and their mappings are published and that's how the numbers are allotted to the service providers.

Yes in Germany it's the same. You can take your mobile number (f.e. Vodafone) with you and use it by another service provider (f.e. T-Mobile).

For the US, we can at least match area code to state.
