How do I make my phone think I’m in the EU?

[–] ludvikskp@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (12 children)

I bought a phone in Japan and I live in the EU. While in Japan, the camera shutter sound couldn’t be turned off as per local law. Then when I came home it was silent as normal. Then upgraded to a new phone and old one is making the shutter sound again without a SIM in it. So it both detects which market it’s from and where it’s used.

And yet my phone is from Hong Kong and I went to Japan and it didn't make a peep.

I’m in Korea and there’s the same camera sound law. Bought a 14 Pro Max in the UAE, no camera sound. Brought it to Korea, inserted Korean SIM (not tourist account, but resident postpaid), still no sound.

No, but my gf did and her phone didn't start making the sound.
