The thing is I seem to have no issues, but I imagine if its a sparsely

Somehow hear in London they tell me where I am if I've rung from a mobile of
recent vintage.
Obviously I've only had to do it recently about twice, but I guess some of
the larger call handling centres being not local is the main issue.

Where you are, phone masts are thick in the air, so easy to
triangulate. The OP is talking about being in the wild.
