By operator you mean the phone service operator or company? Because it
is the other way round, they ask the operator to return the location of
the phone via triangulation of the tower signals.

Mmm.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMSI-catcher

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An international mobile subscriber identity-catcher, or IMSI-catcher, is
a telephone eavesdropping device used for intercepting mobile phone
traffic and tracking location data of mobile phone users.[1] Essentially
a "fake" mobile tower acting between the target mobile phone and the
service provider's real towers, it is considered a man-in-the-middle
(MITM) attack. The 3G wireless standard offers some risk mitigation due
to mutual authentication required from both the handset and the
network.[2] However, sophisticated attacks may be able to downgrade 3G
and LTE to non-LTE network services which do not require mutual
authentication.[3]

IMSI-catchers are used in the United States and other countries by law
enforcement and intelligence agencies, but their use has raised
significant civil liberty and privacy concerns and is strictly regulated
in some countries such as under the German Strafprozessordnung (StPO /
Code of Criminal Procedure).[1][4] Some countries do not have encrypted
phone data traffic (or very weak encryption), thus rendering an
IMSI-catcher unnecessary.
