Actually it's more not based on location but it comes with the GSM signal itself, i.e. my old dumbphone that didn't have GPS nor 3G/Wifi connectivity could sync to the local timezone when travelling.

Thanks, that sort of the same issue than bug #1351534. We could add a settings but we don't have a service to use for that at the moment. There is work ongoing to add NITZ support, once that's in place the settings option can be enabled
