The original purpose was to locate the phone more precisely than the nearest cell tower (which might be miles away) when calling 911 to avoid having to have the operator ask the caller (who might not be able to answer).
With this information available, it can potentially be used for any purpose.

Can a boost phone work with t mobile sim card?
I want to make sure I answer this question, after talking to tmobile, because there is sites that want to charge 40 bucks for unlocking your phone and I called T-Mobile asking if they would unlock the T-Mobile phone for use with boost Mobile and they said no problem. It takes about 24 hours and they email you the unlock code with instructions on how to do it. I guess it would be worth the money if you still had a contact or something but other then that... It's free!
