The network does not broadcast the time info, it is delivered by a
point-to-point signalling (along with certain signalling the mobile would do
irrespectively of the interest to retrieve time info).

This network time info includes basically GMT info, time zone info and
summer time info. If you set the phone to use it, you would have the phone
always on local time, including summer time when applicable.

If you want the phone to remain on your local time zone, you normally would
need to disable the network time feature (unless the phone has some specific
support for your case like allowing you to set a delta to the local time,
but then you would anyway need to set the time manually, partly).
