What you need to do is turn the Mobile Country Code (MCC) and Mobile Network Code (MNC) from the tower into a longitude and latitude which can then be looked up on a map service.

So you need to be looking for a database that stores this data like

cell2gps[^]

or

opencellid/[^]

Grab the codes from the phone, look up long and lat, map those to find location
