Is it possible to calculate the address of a person on a cell phone?

Message arrived:

Hello, listen, are you hacking? Just don’t tell anyone that I wrote to you.
Can you calculate a person’s address by cell phone?

I don’t know what to answer a person, because I know perfectly well that everything is possible, fantasy works. What do you answer such messages, or immediately reject such questions, because as in my case, the person clearly does not understand this, therefore, I can’t explain to him in an accessible way
It's just that if I had such a task in front of me, to one degree or another, I would begin to solve it. First of all, I would mean that all this information is clearly present somewhere, at least this is the operator’s server, but of course I don’t have access to it. Since there is no access, it means I am not from the FSB, and it means that I would have to rely more on luck, because it would be necessary to check this number for registration in various social networks with the opportunity to at least find out something about the owner. In the end, I would leave social engineering methods, which, by the way, seem much more effective to me - a simple call with the question of where to send the package, they say, they left your number as a contact and they say you don’t tell the address, the package will go back
. How would you identify a person by phone number?

The correct answer to vague questions of this kind is "No, I can't do it, and I don't know people who can." *

Ignoring the fact that the question is described in the style (and spelling) of uniform shkolota, I can say that the most direct way to learn something about this topic is to give a bribe to the person who has access to this information. What is a criminal offence.

Everything is possible if you want it. Another question is: Is it legal?
Legally, this can be done by specially authorized bodies if there are appropriate grounds.
It will be difficult for an ordinary person to do this without breaking the law, but there is a small chance that it will work out. No one forbids searching for information on available information resources, analyzing, combining parts into one, communicating with people, etc. until the result is achieved.

In general, there are options. And without social engineering and completely legal. The Internet is a bottomless well of open information.
