OpenCage can not be used to find a phone's locatio #2

Open freyfogle opened 1 year ago

freyfogle commented 1 year ago

This project is complete nonsense. OpenCage can not "geocode" a phone number.

problemsolvewithridoy commented 1 year ago

opencage is only used for geocoding API notings else 😀

rbnadans commented 1 year ago

It is showing same location result for all mobile numbers.

freyfogle commented 1 year ago

Yes, because ... OPENCAGE CAN NOT BE USED TO FIND A PHONE'S LOCATION. I am the co-founder of OpenCage. I really don't know how to be more clear about this.

how to find the location of a mobile number

freyfogle commented 1 year ago

You can't. This whole project is fake. Read the blog post.

automatesolutions commented 3 months ago

Yes I think this could not track a real time location.

freyfogle commented 3 months ago

Of course we (OpenCage) can not track real time location. This repo should be deleted, it only confuses people

automatesolutions commented 3 months ago

Is there any other API that can track real time location using phone numbers?

freyfogle commented 3 months ago

LOL, are you crazy? Would you really like me, or anyone, to always be able to track YOUR phone without your permission?

Tracking the location of a phone number typically involves using specialized services or apps that can access databases and provide information on the general geographic location of a phone. However, it's important to note that tracking someone's location without their explicit consent can raise ethical and legal concerns.

Here are some common methods used for tracking phone number locations:

  1. Mobile Tracking Apps: There are several apps available that claim to track phone numbers. Some require installation on the target device, while others might use different methods like phone number databases or social media profiles to provide location information.

  2. Reverse Phone Lookup Services: Websites or services like Truecaller, Whitepages, or Spokeo offer reverse phone lookup services. They might provide information on the registered location of a phone number based on public records or user-contributed data.

  3. GPS Tracking Services: Certain apps or services allow you to track the location of family members or devices with their consent. For example, Find My iPhone for Apple devices or Google's Find My Device for Android devices can help locate a device linked to a specific account.

  4. Telecom Service Providers: In some cases, telecom service providers might offer location tracking services for authorized purposes like finding a lost device or for legal investigations. This is usually done with proper authorization and legal documentation.

Remember, accessing someone's location without their consent can infringe upon their privacy and might be illegal in some jurisdictions. Always ensure you have permission or legal authorization before attempting to track someone's location.

If you're trying to locate a lost device or have concerns about someone's safety, it's often best to involve the authorities or use legitimate methods designed for such situations.

Note:- This project was developed solely for entertainment purposes. Moreover, this particular method is ineffective. Thank you

Just to be clear, your "entertainment purposes" are my nightmare.

Every day many people sign up for OpenCage and then complain to me that "it doesn't work". All this repo is doing is wasting people's time.
