Abstract
A first cellular client determines its geographic location from a second cellular client. As part of this determination, the first cellular client disables its cellular functionality. The first cellular client receives a first identifier from the second cellular client by way of a non-cellular connection. The first identifier is related to a first antenna of a cellular service-provider. The first cellular client tracks its location based on the first identifier.
