a VPN does not hide any identifiers, not even your location. It can mask your IP and you can use a foreign server, but your actual GPS and WiFi data would still give away your location.

I don’t have a VPN.
I think I might just be far enough into the woods that my phone has a hard time finding towers.
It bounces me back and forth from Alabama and the Carolinas
