Your cell provider can always determine the location of your cellular device. They always have. Now with 4G and 5G it is easier for trusted services to get extremely precise details about the location of your device [1][2]. The example in the second link shows the details that the cellular network provider may have, and this includes the Cell tower ID, the enodeBID (4G), tracking area (TA) ID, geolocation, information about whether the device is moving (its velocity), the mobile country code (MCC), mobile network code (MNC), and a whole lot more. This data is already with your cellular network provider, so it makes no difference if you have "switched off" location services on your phone.
