Mobile Proxies

A guide to mobile proxies - real carrier IPs that websites can't block without blocking legitimate mobile users.

What Are Mobile Proxies?

Mobile proxies route traffic through real devices on cellular networks (4G/5G). The IPs are assigned by carriers like Verizon, Vodafone, and T-Mobile - the same addresses used by millions of everyday smartphone users.

This is why mobile proxies achieve 95%+ trust scores while datacenter proxies sit at 40-50%.

Why Mobile IPs Are Different

Mobile carriers use CGNAT (Carrier-Grade NAT), meaning thousands of users share each IP address. Blocking a mobile IP means blocking real customers, so platforms don't.

Datacenter IP    → Flagged immediately (known ranges)
Residential IP   → Flagged eventually (behavioral patterns)
Mobile IP        → Trusted by default (real carrier traffic)

Trust Score Comparison

Proxy Type	Typical Trust Score	Detection Rate	CAPTCHA Frequency
Datacenter	40-50%	High	Constant
Residential	80-90%	Medium	Frequent
Mobile	95%+	<5%	Rare

The difference comes down to IP reputation. Mobile IPs are inherently trusted because they're indistinguishable from normal phone traffic.

Common Use Cases

Web Scraping & Data Collection

Access sites at scale without blocks. Mobile IPs handle aggressive anti-bot systems that catch datacenter and residential proxies.

Account Management

Manage multiple accounts with realistic network fingerprints. Each session looks like a real mobile user.

Ad Verification

Verify mobile ad placements and geo-targeted campaigns as they appear to actual users.

E-commerce & Price Monitoring

Check regional pricing and inventory without triggering bot detection.

AI Agents & Automation

Connect AI tools to real mobile infrastructure for web tasks that require trusted IPs.

Pricing Models

Two main approaches exist:

GB-Based (Rotating)

• Pay per bandwidth used
• IP rotates per request or on interval
• Best for: High-volume scraping, data collection
• Typical pricing: $3-8/GB

Dedicated Devices (Sticky)

• Fixed monthly fee for 1:1 device access
• Keep the same IP for extended sessions
• Best for: Account management, consistent identity
• Typical pricing: $80-200/month

What to Look For in a Provider

1. Real Carrier IPs - Some providers fake mobile IPs with residential connections. Verify they use actual carrier infrastructure.

2. Dedicated Devices, Not Shared Pools - Many providers sell "dedicated" proxies but actually share the same device across multiple customers. Ask if you get true 1:1 device access or if you're sharing a port on a device used by others. True dedicated means only your traffic goes through that device.

3. Rotation Flexibility - Sticky sessions for account work, rotating for scraping. Make sure both options are available.

4. Geographic Coverage - Check available countries and carriers match your needs.

5. API Access - Essential for automation. Look for REST APIs and tool compatibility (Puppeteer, Selenium, Playwright).

6. No Velocity Limits - Some providers throttle requests. Understand rate limits upfront.
