The origination of the call can indeed vary on your bill. Your origination location is not based off of GPS, instead it's based off the individual cell tower you happen to be using at the time. Not a group of towers, or many towers, just the single individual tower you're using to place that call. Whatever county that cell tower happens to physically be located in determines your origination location.
The destination of the call is also determined in this fashion.
That was my understanding as well, based on information gleaned from my call logs. It wasn't always exact, but seemed to be approximately the location the phone was physically at when the calls were placed/received. The same for the "destination" phone.
Thanks for clearing that up, nmchileman!
