Agree with other comments, just wanted to add this happens in all borders, even with cities (if they’re right next to each other) you can get routed to the “wrong” one just because of the tower you hit. When that happens, I ask the dispatcher which city I’ve connected with, and if it’s not the correct one I’m in, I will immediately request a transfer to the proper city. If I don’t know exactly where the border is, I will give my location, and let them figure it out 🙂
