An apparatus and method for sharing cellular telephone subscriptions among a plurality of mobile units in a mobile unit location system. Requests for cellular service are transmitted from a mobile unit to a cellular phone identity service provider via the mobile unit location system. The service provider grants or denies the request. If the request is granted a cellular phone identity is provided to the mobile unit location service for downloading into the mobile unit. The cellular phone connected to the mobile unit is then programmed with the cellular phone identity so that cellular service can be initiated.
