1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a network computing device of a wireless mobile telecommunications network, a message transmitted by a user equipment, wherein the message is received at the network computing device via the wireless mobile telecommunications network and wherein the network computing device comprises a processor;
determining, by an image detector element of the network computing device, that the message comprises image data;
in response to determining that the message comprises the image data, requesting, by the network computing device, from a network element of the wireless mobile telecommunications network, location information of the user equipment; and
in response to receiving the location information of the user equipment from the network element, modifying, by the network computing device, the message to indicate a geographic location of the user equipment.
