tower data lat/long from Cell tower ID in Android

Post Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 5:59 pm

I am new to this information, but where can I get Cell Tower IDs, in particular CDMA towers?

I have a 4 digit code that implies tower in the tool (Tasker for Android).

I would like to know how this can be positioned geographically.

Thanks!

nerver tried CMDA yet, sorry for that
but you can get someting on specific phone by typing some commands
say, for Android phones, type *#*#4636#*#* , you will get LAC/CID and neighbor CID, also signal dBm
for iPhone, dial *3001#12345#* , you can get UMTS & GSM info including Cell ID and LAC etc.

Thank you.

I am interested in finding the details outside of the device.

That is, I get the information off of the device, and then try to look it up on a regular Internet, using a full computer.

Jhup,
If you have any LE contacts I have a feeling they could get you some of the information from www.askcalea.com. You could also try this website opensignalmaps.com/ I've not looked at it in detail, but it could be of some use.

Cheers!

This is for an application so although one off I can ask a LEO, but it would not work repeatedly.
