I'm trying to make program that can give me phone coordinates without GPS. For this i need GSM signal info. I can get registered operators info with this command /bin/dbus-send --system --print-reply=literal --type=method_call --dest=org.ofono /ril_0 org.ofono.NetworkRegistration.GetProperties
But how can i get neighbouring cell info? like in this app

Unfortunately neighbour cell information is not supported by oFono's D-Bus API yet: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/network/ofono/ofono.git/tree/TODO.
- Neighbor Cell Info. Add dedicated atom, D-Bus API and atom driver(s) for
Neighbor Cell information.
This feature is not discussed in 27.007, thus manufacturer specific commands
are required.
Complexity: C4
Priority: Medium
Existing API documentation is located at http://git.kernel.org/cgit/network/ofono/ofono.git/tree/doc/.

You might be interested in the Geoclue plugin for Mozilla Location Service, coming in Sailfish OS 2.0.2. It basically does what you try to accomplish, if I understand your question correctly: find the geographical location based on information from the mobile network cells (using Mozillas database of cell info mapped to coordinates).
