A lot of this turns on the 'expectation of privacy.' I would argue that a reasonable person expects that her comings-and-goings are not broadly available public information and that her location information is voluntarily exchanged with a private party in exchange for location dependent services.
Or to put it another way, I think most people expect a certain level of anonymity in their daily travels. Sharing location information should be opt-in, not opt-out. You are privileged to have that information, Mr. Phone Company, because I choose to share it with you, not because you have a natural right to know it.
