Iphone SMS GPS Coordinates

[Mort]

Hi,

Anybody know if it's possible on a vanilla Iphone to get the GPS location of where a text message was sent from. My wife's in a dispute with work, and it would be handy to prove where she was when she sent it.

Thanks.

I would say no chance, as the text would be sent via the cell tower so would have no use to interact with the phones GPS.

WSMS. Only chance would be to get the info about which cell the message originated in from the service provider; I'm not sure how easy that would be.

Except for the fact that the story wasn't true; the database contained shared general information about cell tower and wifi locations, and had nothing really to do with where any individual user had been. Mine listed a number of locations in Lincolnshire, a county I last visited in January or February 1986.
