I have now been accepted for the correctly delivered survey and for the special unaddressed one. However I was advised on Christmas Day my stint on the regular postal panel would start on the 8 Feb. However nothing received as yet!3

Not sure you can record the GPS location of the phone (standing at the post box) without having data turned on.
Similarly the "time" (and date) would be whatever the phone is set to and not necessarily even correct let alone closely accurate. My phones only maintain and update the date & time when set to "Automatic Date & Time" (Use Network-Provided time) AND DATA IS ENABLED.
GPS location works based on satellites without a mobile signal, as does car sat navs. My phone uses the network phone signal to determine time. No data needed. There are villages without a mobile signal which are less than 40 miles from the centre of London. I know people who live there.
I presume TNS would rather panellists spend their own money on data rather than they spend money upgrading the app as it reduces their profits.
Can I ask which model of phone and your carrier please?
I have a Samsung and a Nokia on '3' and EE.
I noticed the time sometime drifts (slow a few minutes) over a week or 2 despite having "Automatic Date & Time" (Use Network-Provided time) enabled
Similarly it would NOT "Auto Set" IF I ever removed the battery for instance, the time and date defaulting to something like 00:00 01/01/2001 and having to be set manually - (requiring Automatic Date & Time to be turned off - date and time entered - and the Auto turning back on again.) - irrespective of leaving them for hours or days for it to happen.
Then I found out that in those circumstances within moments of turning DATA ON - the time & date corrected itself.I have apps that record my location but I didn't download any maps with the app but when I upload the activity I can see the route on the online maps. The technology apparently exists.My phone is set to take date and time from the phone network and it is spot on to the second as when I compared the time today with a radio controlled clock which as far as I know receives a time signal from a radio transmitter tuned to a caesium or 'Atomic Clock' which should be accurate. My phone does not have an option to use data to set date and time so I can't comment on using mobile data for this.

I also have some of the RC clocks as you describe and both my phones reflect an identical time to all of them providing I have data turned on. Turn it off for any significant length of time (several days) and they can drift slow.
As far as I can tell neither phone has "an option to use DATA to set date and time"
All I do is go into SETTINGS > DATE & TIME
Turn on AUTOMATIC DATE & TIME which says USE NETWORK PROVIDED TIME
This greys out the options to manually change DATE or TIME
There is one other AUTOMATIC setting for TIME ZONE (to use the Network Provided Time Zone)
Other than the 2 settings for the FORMAT of DATE and TIME layouts ......
