Anyone use a real local SIM to get around app geo-restrictions? How’s that work?
Imagine trying to access a streaming service or app that’s blocked in your region and wondering if using a real local SIM card can bypass these geo-restrictions. While researching, I found a detailed explanation about this method, which highlights how a local SIM can provide a genuine IP and native GPS without root on the device. This approach contrasts with VPNs and proxies which often only reroute traffic without changing GPS location authentically. Has anyone tried this method, and how well did it work in practice?

From a different perspective, relying on a local SIM card not only addresses IP-based geoblocking but also can influence native GPS signals, which is important for apps verifying location using both IP and GPS data. This makes it harder for location restrictions to detect spoofing. However, for some users, the logistics of acquiring and effectively using a local SIM abroad may limit this method's overall appeal despite its technical benefits.
