Live and currently in winnipeg but cellular data shows i am in ontario
My signal shows i an in ontario but i am in Winnipeg. This causes me problems and i need it to be fixed. Thanks
- Contacted support. They say they only can connect through ontario or BC but cannot change it to BC because they can’t control their system. Than they tried to get me to pay for their security suite so i can use their VPN. What a joke. Sad
Just to make sure people understand. This is a relus issue that is made worse by the iphone. I give the iphone location access but this only activates general location access and not precise location so it thinks i am in ontario. I would allow it to use precise location but the app only asks for general location tracking and apple cannot enable it to allow precise location. This would not be an issue if telus would invest in a better cellular network and show my general location as the city i am in and paid for the service.

Community Power UseriPhone locations services uses GPS and Wi-Fi to determine where you are. Neither of these are controlled by Telus. More here:

You may wish to try resetting locations services:
Step 1. In Settings, go to General. Tap on Reset.
Step 2. Choose Reset Location and Privacy tab.
Step 3. Enter your credentials and choose Reset Setting to confirm the action.
- And if it only uses GPS and wifi this would be a non issue as i am where i am. GPS should be able to know where i am and since i am not connected to wifi while using cellular data according to your theory it would default to GPS.
- I have reset my network settings did a full reset of the phone. Talked through it with apple support. Talked to telus and they told me that it is the way that there service is set up. It can route me through to toronto or BC or calgary. They said they cannot control which one so i needed a vpn. That is where they tried to sell me their security suite.
