Spring ahead...

Shouldn't need to do that. Cellphones automatically set themselves
because they get the time from the cell system when they power up and
periodically after that. My phone even knew not to use DST when I turned
it on after landing in AZ last year but quickly changed when crossing
into CA. Even the first one I had in the early 90s set itself.

Well, of course, to be technical, it's not "The Cell System", it's just
the nearest tower. A year ago, I went on a road trip, all within the
same time zone, but right next to another time zone. Depending on the
terrain, it kept attaching to towers in the other time zone and changing
the time. I finally shut off that feature in disgust! I haven't turned
it back on, but probably should, since I seldom travel.

When I traveled last summer, my Blackberry with Verizon service didn't
change the timezone. I don't travel much, and not outside my own
timezone. Maybe the default setting is to turn it off.

I traveled in two time zones last Fall and didn't have that problem
with either my phone or my car's clock.

You are correct, if you turn it off, the time will reset when you turn
it back on. I hope you had a great trip.
