This document summarizes a cellular phone application that allows users to track the location of other users by uploading details of the mobile tower and service provider each phone is connected to. The application continuously uploads this connection data via GPRS to a central web server stored in a MySQL database. Users can then search the database by phone number to see the tower another user's phone is connected to, allowing them to determine their approximate location and proximity without directly asking for their location. The application is designed to work on any J2ME-compatible phone and was developed using technologies like J2ME, NetBeans, MySQL, and Apache Web Server.
