Help Hiding my Location...

Hey ALL!
I live part time in Mexico and use my Galaxy 3S over wi-fi only to save $$.

I sell at art shows in the states and use a Squre to take credit cards. I would LOVE to be able to do that here (LOT''S Of US tourists that use US credit cards).

BUT! you cannot use Square outside the US.

I DO:
-use Witopia.net to mask my location as Califorinia (and the PLay store sometimes recognizes that and shows prices in Dollars instead of Pesos).

HOW!:
-do I mask my location..or mask my location to be in the US for most or all apps? IS this possible?

Is this easier than I think and I just have no clue?

Gracias!:)
 
It depends on how the app is getting your location. If it geolocates by your IP address, there's probably no way to fool it.
 
You can certainly use a VPN, that will make it appear like you're in the US. That's what I do, use a VPN to appear like I'm in the UK or US, so I can watch iPlayer, etc.
