New IP address

Hi
I was wondering how I can change my IP address for my O2 iPhone or does it change all the time due to using mobile broadband on my phone .
Thanks

It will change regularly depending on the type of signal you are logged on to and your location.

Yes it will change every time you connect. Most ISPs use a dynamic IP address rather than a static IP address. A dynamic IP renews itself every so many hours so it will be different.

Okay, thankyou
So I don't need to call O2 and ask them to change it, I'm using a certain selling platform which uses software to detect same IP addresses , my daughter has been using my phone on this selling site but has been suspended from it and I didn't want my account being linked with hers when I sign in.

If you are at home using wifi you can change your wifi ip address in the router settings.

The only internet access I have is my mobile data and I sometimes tether onto my iPad. Should I still change wifi IP address?
Many thanks for your responses:)

Ah I've just realised you said router settings so I'm assuming this wouldn't apply to me , I'm not very technical.

No, if you are only connecting via mobile data, no need to worry about anything else.
