   I do not understand the problem, but I will say on that last topic that   
   only in Apple's (brilliant) advertising is an iPhone more secure than   
   Android.   
      
   In the real world, the iPhone is the most exploited phone in history.   
       
      
   As for getting around geofencing, what I'd suggest is change the IP address   
   (which is easy to do) and then change the DNS engine (also easy to do), and   
   then turn off any Wi-Fi scanning (which Google devilishly auto turns on!).   
      
   Sometimes when I download apps, I have to spoof the language and other   
   times I have to spoof the API level & even spoof the phone make & model.   
      
   Of course, you also turn on mock location so that you spoof your location.   
   All that privacy is easy on Android - but impossible with iOS (as usual).   
      
   Apple products are only "private" in the (admittedly brilliant) Apple ads.
