Ha! More like my phone is on a vacation in Texas while I’m stuck here!
I think we should just accept our phones are confused! Imagine how they feel—always lost in the cloud.
True! Maybe we should send them a map? Or at least some clearer signals!

In essence, it’s a tech puzzle. If you’re troubleshooting, consider disabling your VPN temporarily to see if that resolves it.

Great advice, Danielle! Let us know if that helps the Texas situation!
I had a similar issue! Sometimes it’s a problem with the SIM card or your service provider. They might have outdated location settings. Have you tried resetting your network settings?
Yes! I reset my network settings, but it still says I’m in Texas. It’s so confusing!
Sometimes, location errors can happen if your cellular network is misconfigured. Check if your carrier has any known issues in your area. It might give you some clues.
Great point, tsimon! Also, if your phone is roaming or connected to another network, that could lead to it thinking you’re elsewhere.
I checked, and I’m not roaming. Seems like it might just be a faulty SIM card then.
Definitely consider getting your SIM card replaced if you’re having persistent issues. That can improve your phone’s location accuracy significantly.

Interesting! I wonder if this happens more often to people who switch carriers frequently. Anyone else experienced this after a change?

I’ve switched carriers a few times and didn’t face any location issues. It could just vary by phone model and settings, I think.
That makes sense! I have an older model, so maybe it’s struggling to keep up with newer networks.
You could also try enabling and disabling location services. Sometimes just toggling that setting can help recalibrate your phone’s GPS.
Well, I’m just imagining my phone packing its bags for a trip to Texas! 
But really, these glitches can be so frustrating.
