Field test shows different Cell ID’s

Hello, I’m a little concerned, I was watching the FTM Dashboard, and noticed the cell ID changed not once but 9 times (9 different ID’s) now I thought it might have been the iCloud private relay, but skimmed through the about on that and it doesn’t mention changing cell ID.

Should I be worried about this?!

thank you

Is it OK for a company to know that my private relay address and my real one are both me? During a sign-up procedure on a web site, my iPad wouldn’t allow me to type in the “what is your email?” field. So I clicked on to the next page, hoping for help, and have ended up signing up with them with a private relay address. This happened because I selected sign-up with Apple earlier in the process, I assume. I have received my “verify your email address” email from them, to this private address. I haven’t found a way to change the private address to my real one for myself on their site, and I expect that they won’t let me do that yet, that as the original one hasn’t been verified. This is the first that I have ever heard of a private relay address, so I’m not clear whether it’s a good idea to contact this company for assistance in changing my email to the real one, because I will be telling someone that this private address corresponds to my real address. Is that a bad idea? Should I verify that private email and then try to change it?

No. Stop poking around in things you don't understand.

Your phone will be handed off from cell to cell as required by the carrier's load and your position. It's perfectly normal.

Why do you think you need to be "watching the FTM Dashboard?" I agree with KiltedTim on this.
