The SID is the System ID, it indicates what market the call is made from.
There are a few FCC web sites that could help, or you could just call
Cingular's customer service, they should be able to tell you where the
call
was made. The CELL is is the actual cell tower, so they can home in that
far.
I wish you luck.
