This doesn't make sense at all, why would you have to use a VPN service like HideMyAss if you're back in the U.S? The whole point with HideMyAss is to give you a IP that pinpoint your location to the U.S but if you're already in the U.S I can't see why you would need it. Given that you used a US credit card.

My guess ChristopherTD is that your phone is using a UK SIM card. This is the only logical explanation I can come up with.
