The short answer is no. A cell phone usually uses the carrier's antennas to triangulate the signal and provide the current position of the user; so when there are less antennas to triangulate, the poorer will be the quality of the signal. When there are no antennas, the cell phone won't be able to work as a GPS. However, if the phone does have a specific GPS chip inside, it will use satellites to give the position. Provided that there is not too much interference, it will work as long as the phone is powered.
