There are IP-numbers which is registred for say Sweden and users in 
Denmark will be using those IP-numbers, which makes it look like the 
Dane comes from Sweden and you your case you would server them something 
in Swedish which ain't Danish. This applies for Hi3G users, sure you 
could adjust and tell that those IP-numbers should get things in Danish, 
but then the Swedish users will get it in Danish too.

There are quite many such ranges and some companies lets other companies 
to use part of their range to thir party which may not come from the 
same country.

GeoIP does have quite okey lists, but only if you are paying for it, the 
free lists has loads of known issues.


Sadly you didn't answer Jerrys question, why do you want to do this, 
detect the users country?
