I found this site helpful:

By having accurate, surveyed coordinates for the cell site towers, it can have better knowledge of ionospheric conditions and other errors affecting the GPS signal than the cell phone alone, enabling more precise calculation of position. (See also Wide Area Augmentation System)
I think that the Vogue GPS is a AGPS but I have no clue if the Bell Mobility network can provide that kind of info to our phones
