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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months 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.
