(World Cellular) Sounds like a nice way for espionage! Think about it... Every single user has their own coding.... Thus can locate any individual anywhere! Talk about tracking ... among other things.... Such as the fact that since it can receive calls the tracking is simple since no need for the phone call to originate with the user. FBI, CSIS, CIA, KGB, you name it! It is will also be useful when they develop cellular mini-belt and watch phones. Terrorists can be tracked in seconds!!! Anyone on a plane can be tracked and won't even know it. A hijacking is what I refer to.
