I have an iPhone 4S, and I see System Services near the bottom of the
Location Services list. It isn't all the way at the bottom. On my phone,
it's about three up from the bottom.

Hi Pinky - You're not alone.
I went to Privacy > location services, and looked all the way to the bottom. I
have no button that says System Services.
I have an iPhone5 with the latest iOS update. I'm wondering if the settings in
question are not included in the old 5 series.

Hi Mary,
The Cell Network Search has nothing to do with how your phone connects to the
cellular network or whether it connects at all. A Google search resulted in a
bunch of results, here is one explanation which is easy to understand:
Cell network search: Apple keeps a database of cell towers and monitors
reception in your area based on this option. It’s used to improve products in
general and it’s not really a necessary function, so you can disable this
feature if you wish not to share cellular tower information with Apple.
Wi-Fi Networking I am pretty sure does something equivalent for Wi-Fi Networks
and hotspots.
Even Setting Time Zone is not required as your phone also receives this
information from cell towers. I have turned this on in rare situations when I
travelled to Asia and for some reason the date and time did not seem to set
themselves. Turning it on would fix the issue and then I turned it off again
since it anyways would only be important if you travel across time zones. Here
in Canada or the US I have never found that the time was not displayed
correctly even with this turned off.
Regards,
Sieghard

I took the advice about going into location services and checking the system
services under there and turning off things that you don't need. One of those
items is checking for cellular network services or something close to that. Now
that sounds like something you would want to do when you are signing up and
getting connected with your cellular network. And I think the advice in the
original post was that it could be turned off. But I wonder about what might
happen if you were on a road trip, say, and lost contact. Or even if you had to
reboot your phone or turn it on to airplane mode and then off-again. Wouldn't
it have to find the network? So, I turn this off but I'm wondering if that was
a good idea.
