You fundamentally cannot have location privacy with cell service. A cell tower will provide service to a limited physical region. When someone dials your number, the telecomm company needs to know which tower to route your call to. If telecomms didn't know where you were then cell service would not work. Sure, WiFi/GPS can provide more detailed location information and are commonly sent into the cloud and this is a problem too.
