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 49,000 contributors have already registered with OpenCellID, contributing more than 1 million new measurements every day in average to the OpenCellID database. The OpenCellID project was primarily created to serve as a data source for GSM localisation. OpenCellID provides 100% free Cell ID data (under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License).
