It all depends on your cell provider. A lot of cellular providers use GCNATs so their whole customer base appears to connect from just a handful of IPs without any proxy headers (which is why doing a ip address geo location on yourself is giving you wrong info).
A few providers will give you a non nated IP on request (and usually for a fee). IPv6 should “fix” the issue.
