What is OpenCellID?

OpenCellID is the world's largest collaborative community project that collects GPS positions of cell towers, used free of charge, for a multitude of commercial and private purposes.

More than 15,000 contributors have already registered with OpenCellID, contributing more than 1 million new measurements every day in average to the OpenCellID database. Detailed statistics are available in real time.

The OpenCellID project was primarily created to serve as a data source for GSM localisation.
As of Jul 1, 2014, the database contained more than 5 million unique GSM Cell IDs and 850 million measurements.

OpenCellID provides 100% free Cell ID data (CC-BY-SA 3.0 license).
