mobile data issues

milly29 — Sun, 24 Aug 2025 21:29:53 GMT

I’m using my mobile data and I’m not on a vpn yet my phone is saying i can’t access websites such as bbc iplayer because it’s saying im not in the uk. I’ve also checked my phones ips address and it’s set as the uk. Ive also recently moved house which is why i’m on data so i’m not sure if that’s got something to do with it but i’m definetly still in the uk.

Where in UK? Near coast you might pick up foreign networks. Check your network Ops for EE.

An IP address isn't "set" as the UK as such, but would geolocate to the UK. Plug it into https://www.whatismyip.com/ if you are definitely using EE's UK network and a website is suggesting otherwise.
