Does anyone know if I could use a US provider SIM card + plan for example T-Mobile and then use data roaming worldwide and still get an US IP adress so social media apps see me as I would be in the US?

Or will I get an IP adress from the country I‘m currently in? Found different answers on other forums.
 
Uh, I am pretty sure it is the country you are currently in.
Also intl mobile data is insanely expensive, might not be the best route for you
 
They will find out you are not in the USA by:
- GPS
- nearby WIFI networks.
 
No, your IP address will be provided by the local ISP since you will be connected to a nearing cellular tower. Even if you will be roaming, they will know that you are at another location. You can use a mobile proxy to always have the IP address of your desired country.

Thanks that‘s easy to turn off tho

not always


not always
Is this different for each provider? I‘ve read that some tunnel back to the US and some don‘t.

Not going to check but I assume you‘re selling mobile proxies;)

Not what I‘m trying to achieve but thanks
 
Using a US SIM card and data plan while traveling internationally does not guarantee you will have a US IP address. Here are a few factors that determine your IP address when roaming:

  • The roaming agreement between your US carrier and the local carrier you're connecting to. Some partnerships may route traffic back to the US, while others use local infrastructure.
  • Whether you're on wifi or cellular data. Connecting to local wifi networks will likely give you a local IP. Cellular data could go either way depending on the roaming agreement.
  • Your phone's network settings. Some devices allow you to restrict connections to US carriers only while roaming, which increases the chances of getting a US IP.
  • Services like VPNs and proxies can mask your true location and provide a US IP, but aren't guaranteed to work with all apps and services.
Let‘s say the carrier tunnels back to the US.
In that case will apps/websites see me as I would be in the US or could there be any leaks like DNS etc.?
 
What I can tell you from my experience with a german sim card is that if you are in another country you will also get an ip from there.

In the phone is also usually the provider and then a supplement. For example, Telekom becomes Telekom NL - if you are in the Netherlands, for example.

Accordingly, the IP changes to that of the country where you went.
 
if i understand correctly renting a US phone with data is best option for you. You can connect to that US phone using your own phone via tool.

Could be because Telekom also offers plans for netherland residents so they just connect you to their network there in NL.
T-mobile for example has no service outside the US (I believe)

Haven’t seen such service unfortunately. Besides one on here which has not really good reputation & is overpriced
 
Yes starting around $150 i guess per month. If pricing around $50-80 it will be good price.
Apparently he meant private mobile proxy devices and not renting a full mobile device

Yes renting a full device with apps and all. You can install , uninstall apps etc just an normal do does.

The IP addresses are provided by the local ISP, so if you connected to a nearing cellular tower and you are on roaming, they will know that you are at diffrent location.
