The problem is that unless the phone can use GPS (either via an inbuilt chip or external receiver), or can attach to three or more masts (which is needed for network triangulation), then such a service would not be able to determine your position.

As Kymmy noted if you are in the country (or high up) your phone is unlikely to be able to attach to enough mobile phone masts, so GPS might be your only option.
