My iPhone thinks I'm in the Czech Republic but I'm in Australia

I logged onto a local shopping site in Chrome and it geolocated me to the Czech Republic. I tried a couple of other sites and they did the same thing. I tried using Edge, the same sites did the same thing.

It appears to only be my phone, because when I logged onto the same sites on my PC it located me in Australia.

I've checked all my region settings, location settings etc. and they all say Australia. I've shutdown my phone and restarted it. No change. Anyone have any idea what is happening and how to fix it?

Hello kel75_75,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

We understand from your post that when using web browsers on your iPhone, the location is not your currently location. Try resetting the Location & Privacy settings under Settings > General > Reset > Reset Location & Services. The next time you open your apps, it will ask your permission to use your location while using the app.

Turn Location Services and GPS on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If this does not resolve the issue, it may be the cellular network you are using has their ISP based in another area. Do you see a difference if you using Wi-Fi rather than mobile data?

Best Regards.
