I recently posted the following question to a blog, but it was from 2 years ago, not sure if I will get a response. Perhaps someone here will have some great info.

What I personally see from the device is the following data and the way I understand it (at+ceng=?):
arfc, rxl,rxq,mcc,mnc,bi,cid , rl ,tx,lac, ta
+CENG:0,"0136,41,99,310,410,06,d6a2,00,05,8ac5,255"
arfcn,rx,rx,cid, mcc,mnc,lac
+CENG:1,"0148,16,22,4e7e,310,410,8ac5"
+CENG:2,"0138,12,50,6e2c,310,410,8118"
+CENG:3,"0704,21,45,4e7b,310,410,8ac5"
+CENG:4,"0699,15,35,5fa2,310,410,8ac5"
+CENG:5,"0691,11,53,4e99,310,410,8ac5"

arfcn: absolute radio frequency channel number.
rx,rx: I assume the first is rxL (receive Level) and the second rxq (receive quality) (based on the connected cell tower that in the manual has all data labeled).
cid: cell id
mcc: mobile country code.
mnc: mobile network code.
lac: location area code.

Could you help point me in the right direction how to get a radius from each cell tower that the phone might be in? Thank you so much!!!
To give you an idea the first ceng:0 is 0.6 miles away (1000km) it is the closest. I do think that the rxl/rxq do seem to match all in all the distance from the cell tower, but I have had no luck in getting more then two circles to intersect in a good vicinity, which I am not too happy with.
