Can you change your IP address on the phone by removing the SIM & re inserting it or any other way?

Thank you..

I have been tethering my TV to my phone. I do not have a TV license & received an email from TV licensing saying that I had been using BBC Iplayer & I wondered how they could do this. I understand that if you have normal internet through a router if you disconnect the router it will reset your IP address & I wondered if by removing your SIM on the smart phone would it do the same & reset your IP.

Hi @lesallen45 

 

If you are watching TV you would require a TV licence, by resetting your IP address would not make a difference as a licence is required for the services you are watching. 

 

 

Why iD Mobile?
