Does anyone know how to change cellular IP location?

I am unable to access certain sites because my my phone thinks I'm in Montreal as that's where Telus is based I guess, but some stores don't operate in Quebec and I can't do anything to change that, it's incredibly frustrating. Does anyone know I can change my actual IP address to Ontario where I actually live and spend my time?

If you disconnect your mobile data temporarily and then reconnect, you might get a different IP address.  That new IP address could be associated as being in a different place.


For me, it always resolves back to Telus Montreal (in Atlantic Canada).

@Jonah_alvarez  IPs are controlled by the provider and not the account holder. What if you turn on location on your device and allow the browser to access you location? Let us know if that works.

Others have suggested VPN, but does this issue happen from your mobile data connection or when you're on WiFi?

Use a VPN. Same as with any other internet device.

I use Ivacy. There are MANY others.
