A method of providing an estimate of GPS time from non-GPS timing information present in communications signals transmitted from a base station (BS1) to a first mobile communications device (MS1) is provided comprising the steps of (i) in a second mobile communications device (MS2), receiving corresponding non-GPS timing signals present in communications signals transmitted by the base station; (ii) in a GPS receiver (23, 24) of the second mobile communications device (MS2), obtaining at least one pseudorange to a GPS satellite (GPS SV) and obtaining an first estimate of GPS time; (iii) deriving a relationship between the receipt of timing signals received in step (i) and the estimate of GPS time obtained in step (ii); and (iv) from the non-GPS timing information received by the first mobile communications device (MS1) and the relationship derived in step (iii), calculating a second estimate of GPS time. |
