It gets a signal from the satellite and cell towers it is run off of that your phone has moved to a different time zone. It uses a sort of GPS system to track your location...

What ever tower you are getting signal from knows the time in each zone, The GPS in your phone will tell the signal where you are and it will know to change the digital clock. It might not always be exactly on the line because of tower placement.

They get a signal from the cell tower. It tells the phone what time it is.

The same way 911 knows where you are calling from when calling from a cell phone.

It is sent from the local cell tower, which will have the correct time.

When I flew from the UK to the States I had to reset my cell. Maybe some phones reset by themselves, but ive never had one of those.

The radio frequencies of your cellular network will automotically change the time whenever you move time zones or during daylight savings time.
