No.. The phone gets the correct information from the cell tower (or else it would be in violation of e911 standards)..
The problem isn't the phone getting the information from the cell tower (it gets this perfectly fine) the problem is the way the location software (specific to consumer end programs only) intreprets the data and displays it as a location.. This is software side on the phone for consumer level location, not cell side...
the SMS text is actual transmitted through the voice stream via 1xRTT.. if the issue was this determining to put the plus sign on it (or even to determine if you should route the sms through international carriers) then it would do the exact same thing via Phone Calls... The difference is the software might know to leave the + off, but the sms code was never amended with this check (remember android 1.5 was coded for GSM only.. CDMA implementation was hacked into it and didn't gain native support until 1.6.. so it is more likely samsung forgot to amend the sms protocal the same way they did the call protocal)
