If you are only using one tower - sure...
--------
The tower can also measure how long it takes to get a response from your phone, and use that to estimate how far away you are. That puts you on the edge of a circle that distance from the tower.
Usually your phone can be heard by multiple cell towers. If two can hear you, then you're on the edge of each of 2 circles, and two circles can only meet at 2 points, so you must be at one of those 2 points.
If a third tower can hear you, its circle can only meet the others at one point, so there you are.
Emergency services (like 911) can get this information from the cell towers. The information exists whenever your phone is on and in range of a tower, whether you're making a call or not. The information is not meant to be publicly accessible.

Hello World -
You are carrying a PHONE. Your PHONE is a mobile phone, and requires a radio link to the local tower to connect your call.
Yes, this means that a system must be able to locate you to deliver your connection, and maintain your connection while you move from cellular tower to cellular tower.
You must chose:
1) If you want to remain anonymous, then have your radio information delivered to you by one-way-broadcasting. Turning on your car-radio allows you to receive the broadcasts, without actively revealing your location. Drawback: it's not a conversation.
2) If you want to have a two-way conversation, then you're going to have your call routed to you, and your radio phone sending back. You will not now, nor never will be anonymous in this scenario.
The solution: make choices based on your values. Stop waiting for a Deus ex Machina.
If societal norm is carrying a phone, and you chose not to - then you are in sync with your values, and not society.
Similar to a person who chooses a "car-free" lifestyle, biking 20 miles each direction for a work commute. Not typical, but not harmful to society. People might think it's odd, but will either adapt (or, stop inviting that person to breakfast meetings at the office, because they are stinking of sweat
In conclusion: It's your life. Choose. Choose with the understanding that no two way radio phone conversation is anonymous.

"The needs of the stupid outweigh the needs of the smart, or the sane"

Asimov claimed that the Three Laws were originated by "John W. Campbell"
in a conversation they had on December 23, 1940.
Campbell in turn maintained that he picked them out of Asimov's stories and discussions,
and that his role was merely to state them "explicitly".
It's called the "Jack Mehoff" account.
1) Create a Google sign in with "Jack Mehoff" or another name
2) ???
3) Live a profitable and secure life
You have a DO NOT TRACK option, called DO NOT BUY.
If you buy into the car with sensors, recording, logging, and reporting - then you've really put the gun to your own head and pulled the trigger, eh?
However, in the United States, driving is a privileged, not a right. Your car's position on public roadways is not private information. When your car wrecks in a suspected criminal manner - even if it is a 1957 Chevy, law enforcement gets to look at it, and record the speedometer reading if it was broken and held in place.
The more sensors, the more information.
Get informed, and make an informed decision.
Read your - Wireless Customer Agreement (AKA Terms & Conditions) - you can google this if you don't know the website for att dot com.
Terms and Conditions continue with use - NOT only with the 2 year contract. Terms and Conditions are ongoing when you use the service, and pay the bill. READING is FUN-da-mental! [IANAL nor a company shill, I just believe in people eventually being smart enough to gather information and make informed decisions. Don't like a carrier? Don't use them, or use them via Pre-Pay 2nd hand carrier. IT WORKS!]
6.3 What Are The Voice And Data Plan Requirements?
A voice plan is required on all voice-capable Devices, unless specifically noted otherwise in the terms governing your plan.
An eligible tiered pricing data plan is required for certain Devices, including iPhones and other designated Smartphones. Eligible voice and tiered pricing data plans cover voice and data usage in the U.S. and do not cover International voice and data usage and charges.
-TLDR Idiots, Start Here-
If it is determined that you are using a voice-capable Device without a voice plan, or that you are using an iPhone or
and bill you the appropriate monthly fees. In the case of the tiered data plan, you will be placed on the data plan which provides you with the greatest monthly data usage allowance. If you determine that you do not require that much data usage in a month, you may request a lower data tier at a lower monthly recurring fee.
You DO get to try it out...
"An early termination fee (ETF) may still be charged by your carrier unless you cancel service according to their respective policy: 14 days from the date your device is shipped for AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon"
You turn it in before 14 days (of shipment if ordered remotely, or on delivery if you go buy it from a store).
Which, invalidates your 'you have a much better case to have the contract thrown out as you obviously were not able to make an informed decision before signing (part of the basis of contract law)'. [And, if you bother to read the contracts, you agree to ARBITRATION instead of court action.]
I am not a lawyer. Just someone who reads for comprehension.
Due to the fact that they didn't DOUBLE the user count in response to " due to the holidays and snapping lots of photos of family and their holiday preparations and such".
http://www.wired.com/business/2012/09/instagram-use-exploding/ for the period of 03-2012 till 09-2012. That is not a "holiday run up". And, even if people were snapping fewer photos - they wouldn't TERMINATE the accounts, just stop using...
I guess he didn't want to hang around for trial...
" but I think the school should at least have to get permission from every parent, and not track those who do not give permission."
That was exactly the reason this was tossed out.
They offered an accommodation, which she/her
family/All Mighty Zombie Jesus/etc DECLINED.
Any other student at the school would be allowed the
same offered accommodation.
Freakonomics is where I was first exposed to the idea.
Then, one can always read the actual documents, rebuttals, and re-rebuttals.
"In 2005 Levitt published rebuttal to these criticisms in which he re-ran his numbers to address the shortcomings and variables missing from the original study. The new results are nearly identical to those of the original study. Levitt posits that any reasonable use of the data available reinforces the results of the original 2001 paper"
More abortions = Lowering of violent crime
The single baby-mamas aren't having 3-7 illegitimate children as they were.
Raising the crotch-droppings on government assistance and payroll garnishments from the alleged baby-dadas, which had them strike with violent crime from poverty.
More abortions, making abortions easier to obtain = killing those future violent criminals before they start. And, those violent thugs won't be knocking up their generation of chicks.
Skip the CS Degree, Network Yourself, Know People
If you meet people while you are in this position, and they know how awesome you are - you won't have to cram a CS degree on your resume to be filtered by an HR.Auto.Bot.
Keep rocking your position, and make professional contacts. You already are several laps ahead of most other people your age.
Enjoy the good life, and make it better. You don't need to send yourself back to square one.
