Changing to another internet provider certainly changes your IP-address.
But some providers for certain connections use dynamic addresses (meaning: it changes each time you make contact) and others might have an option to change it during the subscription. The Customer Help department of your current provider can tell what options they have.

Is to go out to some public hotspot. But that's trouble for some as they are unaware of what's at stake.
Any IP hiding app is not to be trusted for a simple reason. You have to use IP addresses to receive internet messages so it's a lie you are hidden.
