Do not place too much trust in that ComReg site as AFAIK it is very much out of date, any new sites put up by the networks in the last few months are not on the map

Cheers, yeah, I have 2 cell id's and they're not being found.
At least now I know it's probably not my fault.

Google Maps for mobile already does this.

Thanks, I'll have a look.
I know they have a new "latitude" service out.

Although I prefer MGMaps Link
Mainly cos I can download the large sections of map data in advance on the PC, copy it to my phone and not have to worry about data download charges as the map tiles are pre-cached.
( I have all of Dublin down to street level on my phone in approx 73mb)

I suspect that Google maps will have some form of online service which your mobile calls to get the location, as opposed to a list stored on the phone.

This is purely a development exercise, no serious application, just experimenting. For anyone that's interested, on a Sony K800 you can write some simple J2ME code to retrieve the following

// country code
String mcc = System.getProperty("com.sonyericsson.net.mcc");
// country network provider
String mnc = System.getProperty("com.sonyericsson.net.mnc");
// location area code
String lac = System.getProperty("com.sonyericsson.net.lac");
// cell id
String cellid = System.getProperty("com.sonyericsson.net.cellid");
