It used to be useful in the uk. In the early days calls to the area you were in were cheaper if you were on a local call saver. This let you know if the number you were dialing was gonna be a cheap call or not.

I whish more providers used it for convenient stuff like in Budapest, Hungary it tells you the name of the current underground (metro) stop you are on. Pretty convenient for tourists. I'm sure there are plenty of other places where it could be used for like that... |

Here in Bucharest there r so many blocks and tall buildings that they have to put an antena on almost evrery corner ,so it usually tell u the street u r on, or the general area...50m or so.
It's convenient but it's also useless.Gets me on my nerves 
And the guy that said that it consumes more battery, u, boy, should read about mobile phones some more..u have some "holes" in the "gsm-knowledge"
