Yes, it does change the IP address. When you turn on Airplane mode and then turn it off, the connection would first be lost and then reconnected, so it will change the IP address. The same thing happens when you turn off mobile phone and turn it back on. It is surprising that it didn't change your IP address. Please note, that most of the IP and the DNS remains the same, only some changes occur in the IP. I would suggest you to just simply try again.

Hello! The most important thing to note is: not all carriers change IP upon reconnecting to the network!There are mobile carriers that will only update your IP when you move from the coverage area of one cell tower to another. And there are those that will keep your IP unchanged even in this situation 
In some cases, resetting the APN settings of your carrier on the phone might help.
If your carrier indeed uses dynamic IP addresses, there might be a certain timeout or period during which your IP address is "reserved" for your device, even if you switch it to "off". Therefore, you might try keeping the phone turned off for a longer time (a couple of hours) or in airplane mode, ensuring it's not connected to the carrier's cell tower.

Keep 4G mode active then restart the phone, then your IP address will change to the new connection.

if you were to change the phones imei but still use the same proxy, would this be considered a new phone by the cell tower and have it send a new ip rotation to the new phone?

Cell towers from mobile operators mainly don't use your phone's IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity); they work with IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity). IMSI is associated with the SIM card, not the device.
If your question is about why switching your phone to airplane mode doesn't result in an IP rotation, changing your IMEI won't help. The cell tower recognizes its SIM card and will assign the same IP. If you need mobile IP rotation, you might try changing operators (the most reliable option).
