ATT Mobley IP address and VPN ??

I have the grandfather AT&T Mobley unlimited $20.00 per month internet service. I love it.

I have noticed that when I am parked for 2 to 6 weeks at the same campground the mobley assigns a "random" IP address that may be 400 to 600 miles away. No problem except when I am looking for a local place to eat or shop I have to enter my correct zip code.

Today I am parked outside Nashville, but my IP is 107.77.236.33 some place in Kansas.

Since I do not have a stable IP address, do I need a VPN?

    As a mobile data device it might not
    As it is not FCC required
    But the cell tower and AT&T know your Mobleys geographic location, if not the street address,
    If location services are turned on, on the device that is using the mobley WiFi
    Then Google know which city you are in or near
