I think any carrier could do this without to much trouble. It's not bad for providing some information on a neighborhood/suburb wide basis, but if you want something more specific, you are out of luck.

With location-based services, the location is determined via the mobile phone such that each time the phone is activated it establishes contact with the base station with the strongest reception. The smaller the cell of the base station, the more exact will be the location. In built-up areas the size of the cells is generally a few hundred metres while in rural areas they can measure several kilometres.
