A mobile device stores, in a memory, a network interface setting associated with a particular geographic location. The network interface setting includes a particular combination of enabled and disabled wireless network interfaces. The mobile device determines a current geographic location of the mobile device and identifies a match between the stored particular geographic location and the current geographic location. The mobile device applies, based on identifying the match, the network interface setting associated with stored particular geographic location.
