    hey guys
    phone number data can tell you only country location. opencage is a library which gives you the latitude and longitude of the given country name. if you want to learn the momentary location of a phone, you have to call that number and ask "where are you now?"

    there are tons of videos showing this example, the main it's doing it's getting the country for the number, then the opencage turns that into coordinates for the center of the country and that's all, i don't think there is a way to locate a number without access to the provider data.

  • @dominiquecolin4716
    @dominiquecolin4716 10 місяців тому +5

    There is a problem: the coordinates are bound to the ‘location’, which in my case is France. Thus, it always return coordinates for ‘France’, not the phone number. It points roughly at the center of the country.
    The coordinates of the phone are never returned.

    As a telecom ingeneer , i think that this tuto is not credible : The only information it gives are : the country and the service provider, we can found this two informations easily in the internet. Next point , to find a location of a phone number , we have to acess to the cellular network. in other terms you have to hacke a celular network ;) . The only thing you can get with this method is the services provider adress. Each country made a security of its information , each service provider made a security , it s not easy to get the location. But i propose you the solutions to get it : 1. to be genious and hacke celular network . 2 . Install an application in the phone to share it's position. 3. install a client ( link) to get the ip adress of your phone. 4. get the ip adress of your phone using kali linux. thank you for sharing this project. it's usefull.

    Hi, The tutorial is very good and well-described. However, I have a concern; the location is not exact. Especially, the lat-long from index [0] is not the actual location. In fact, the actual 'result' variable contains a list of lat-long. Could you please discuss this matter in the comment section? Thanks.

    GOOD FOR LEARNING PURPOSE. But be informed that - this is a very generic code and shows the 1st service provider and not the latest one i(f you have ported your number, let say from Vodafone to Airtel, it won't display Airtel) and the geographical center of the COUNTRY that the phone number belongs to and not your live location. For example +44 will show central area of United Kindom somewhere near Sunderland. No one can retrieve such sensitive information as there are lots of complications which only the service provider can help with (that too following proper procedure)

    • @finnsteck
      @finnsteck 9 місяців тому +2

      Has nothing to do with security reasons. All the script does is basically turning the first integers (like +49 for germany) into a string (like "germany") and then taking the center of the country. Afterwards it uses folium to make a map. This is more a "Area Code Finder" than a phone tracker.

      This doesn't show the exact location, but the country you in. The logic is actually very easy to follow. All this program does is printing your country name (looking at your phone number country code), parses that to the geocoder as a query string, gets the approximate lat-lon of the country, and puts a marker on the map
