I need to display

is there any way I could display it on the home tab / tile or simply next to the Mobile / Phone Call Tab on the home screen?

Currently using Mango edition

I dont think this is supported at all.

For Location Information you can use search button and under the search bar you will see your current location provided by GPS or AGPS (this would be much more accurate than tower location information)

well I am aware of getting the info via GPS / AGPS. The main use of Cell Broadcast / Cell Info Display / Area Info‎ that Cell operators send service messages / current tower from where we are receiving the signal and some other info which is not possible via GPS / AGPS. Hence needed to enable Cell Broadcast / Cell Info Display / Area Info‎ for the Windows Mango phone. I have regular mobiles in which this can be easily displayed by going in to settings but I see no feature in Windows Mango phone

That's probably because "Windows Mobile 7" never shipped on any phones. The project was cancelled a couple of years back and none of the software or handsets was ever released.

So has any one found a solution to this issue?

I think this is a necessity, because like in my area the telecom company if told which Cell Tower is shown up on the display fixes the issues a lot faster than if we just told them the area. Because this Cell Tower helps them identify the exact tower which is causing the problem, rather than having to roam around multiple towers to find which tower is the problematic tower.
