In order for a cell phone to be tracked by GPS it must be GPS enabled (it has a GPS transceiver) you are talking about two different technologies a regular cellphone can only be tracked by cell towers not satellites because it has no way to communicate with a satellite directly, and yes tracking by cell towers will vary widely, with GPS this can happen as well but much less likely.
