YouGetSignal - phone number geolocator.
January 8th, 2008 | by Randy |
YouGetSignal - The phone number geolocator allows you to quickly find the geographical area that a phone number originates from. Locations are identified by matching the area code (NPA) and prefix (NXX) of a phone number to a latitude/longitude coordinate. This tool currently supports most phone numbers within the United States. The database is a little dated, so information such as whether the number is a landline or wireless may be inaccurate. Queries are confidential and are recorded for abuse prevention and statistical purposes only.
Most popular area codes: 818, 604, 310, 810, and 406.
YouGetSignal.com is a collection of network tools that I started working on in late September of 2007. The name of the site, YouGetSignal, is a nerdy play on a line of broken English from the infamous “All your base are belong to us” cut scene. YouGetSignal originally started as an effort of mine to learn the latest web development techniques. Consequently, the site employs several technologies to function, including:
- Cascading style sheets (CSS)
- Asynchronous javascript and XML (AJAX) requests
- JavaScript object notation (JSON) responses
- An open source relational database management system (MySQL)
- A server-side cross-platform HTML embedded scripting language (PHP)
- The script.aculo.us and Prototype JavaScript libraries
- The Google Maps API
Ultimately, my goal with YouGetSignal is to contribute a set of useful tools to the global Internet community.
