What do you mean by location, what sms, and what would receive it?

Why not answer the questions, in stead of saying three times the same (not very clear) thing?

What exactly do you mean by "location"?

The first mobile signal tower which the message reaches?The mobile signal tower will have a name associated with it or an unique id.
