    Well GPS yes it would be too late but the cell location data should have been available for a few days in the subs HLR so they would be able to identify the country the phones were last in. Then you speak to the the local Telco and pull it out of their VLR. Generally you'd have roughly a two day window for this. However I'm sure some billing data was written into a database if the phones were ringing and normally this should include some location data that would be available for a fair while

    Obviously if all the phones were turned off in Malaysia then you are up shet creek

    to track a mobile you have to have three signal towers,i heard somewhere only like 20km range when you do do this...so once out in the ocean it becomes an imppossibilty...this was explained by DR Karl on the ABC the other day while I was in the tractor.

    Not exactly true it helps but to find a plane you wouldn't even need to go to that level. You can get it down to a few square kms from one cell.

    I know mate but I'm presuming the phones would be in the same location as the plane

    they say now that it lost contact at one in the morning , just as it was due to pass from Malaysia radar control to Vietnam radio control
    VRC did not receive flight MH370 as the transponders were turned off, It would be nice to think it landed somewhere in Pakistan and all on
    board were alive. cant see the point of taking a plane with 200 odd ppl on board and not making any claims or demands
