If the WiFi service is turned off the you will get position from the cell tower. If you could turn off the cell service and keep WiFi on then you get position from WiFi (however I don't think you can turn off phone service easily) But you can use the location accuracy to differentiate between WiFi and cell-tower based location WiFi will give you position accuracy around 50m, cell tower - more than hundred (from my experience - 200-300m)
