I only ever heard the term Femtocell for this. Also, wouldn't an IP check suffice? Are you sure it had GPS?

Yep - https://www.engadget.com/2007-03-28-hands-on-with-the-samsun...

IP would be absolutely trivial to spoof so that's not a proof of anything really.

My static IP geolocates to a town 50 miles away. So unless it's some list that has good accuracy i wouldn't think so.

The one I had years ago did have GPS, I was told the reason was for accurate 911 locating. It was a hassle because we were trying to use it in an office and the GPS antenna needed to be near a window.

AFAIK even regular cell sites have GPS for timing purposes.
