I m not sure that I m rite or wrong bout broadcast being the rite way to solve d prblm. Pls help..

Hi,

Your problem is related to the network braodcast information, which is being consistently sent by the network and each mobile reads that information. That information contains all such parameters. Please refer/post to the correct forum for the question. Refer to the following link to select the forum:

Hi vishal,

To get the location of the phone you can use the MapPoint SDK.I hope the following will be useful.
