Very funny

You don't know what you are talking about.

EDIT: yes, please, go ahead and explain how you're going to get phone's location geographically. Hint: not everybody has data turned on always. Or GPS.

This is not a Batman movie you know

What about CPS? The towers know where they are, and they know you are communicating with them.

Its not perfect, but they can get your position by just measuring your signal strength to the multiple towers and triangulate the rest.
