ATM, I'm using a not yet public API from google to make the translation from cell to location.
Yes access to the raw data dumps is one of the reasons it appealed to me, plus the wifi data. From looking quickly at opencellid I couldn't see any way of getting hold of the raw data, plus it only seems to cover the USA.
