Buy mobile 4G/5G/LTE proxies

Why websites trust mobile IPs the most

A mobile carrier can't give every smartphone its own public address. There simply aren't enough of them. Instead, carriers use carrier-grade NAT, so hundreds of subscribers reach the internet through one external IP at the same time. From a website's point of view, dozens of different people on different phones arrive from the same address.

That makes blocking a mobile IP expensive for the website itself. Along with one bad actor, it would shut out real users who did nothing wrong. So social networks and ad platforms usually don't ban mobile addresses for activity alone. They look at account behavior, the browser fingerprint and account history instead.

This is the main advantage of mobile proxies: a 4G/LTE carrier address looks like an ordinary phone on the network. Websites often spot datacenter IPs by their datacenter ranges, and they trust residential IPs more, but mobile IPs usually get through even where checks are strictest. Still, the IP is only one signal. If every account runs the same antidetect profile, a mobile address won't hide that.

Paying per GB vs renting a port: what you actually pay for

Mobile proxies are sold in two ways. The first is renting a modem or port by the day, week or month: you pay for time, even when the proxy sits idle. The second is paying for traffic: you buy gigabytes and spend them in any country, at any pace. We use the second model.

Port rental makes sense when you push dozens of gigabytes through one country every month. If you need mobile traffic only now and then, say for registering accounts once a week or for several countries at once, paying per GB comes out cheaper because you don't pay for hours when nothing happens. Estimate your volume in the calculator above, and see prices for all types on the pricing page.

Rotating mobile IPs vs sticky sessions

You connect through the host gw.prokso.com. Port 823 speaks HTTP and 824 speaks SOCKS5, and on both every request goes out from a new address. That's handy for checking ads and pages from many IPs, but it's a poor fit for logging in: the website will see one session jumping between addresses.

For account work, use ports 10000–20000. Each port holds one IP over both HTTP and SOCKS5. You set the session duration yourself, from 1 to 120 minutes, with 30 as the default. In advanced mode you can also put a session number in the username, which keeps one address for about 30 minutes on ports 823/824.

One thing specific to mobile networks: the IP in a sticky session can change before the session expires if the phone carrying the connection drops off the network. The port then gets a new address in the same country. Most social networks treat this as normal, since real smartphones change IPs all the time. Still, plan short actions like sign-up or login so they fit within a single session.

Country, region and carrier targeting

Choosing a country costs nothing extra, and the mobile pool covers 180+ countries. Advanced mode adds region or state, city, ZIP code and carrier by ASN. You can also pick several countries at once or exclude specific ones. Which carriers you get depends on the addresses available in the chosen country's pool.

Precise geo (city, region, ZIP or ASN) is charged at double rate: traffic with those settings counts ×2. Turn precise geo on only where it truly matters, such as local ad campaigns or accounts already tied to a city. For sign-ups and most social media tasks, the country is enough.

Where mobile proxies pay off

TikTok, Instagram, Facebook

TikTok and Instagram are mobile-first apps, so a carrier address looks most natural there. For accounts per address and traffic usage, see proxies for TikTok and proxies for Instagram. For Facebook ad accounts the rule is simple: one ad account, one IP, one profile. Details are on the Facebook Ads proxies page.

Mobile ad verification and affiliate marketing

Advertisers and agencies verify how mobile ads appear to the audience in a given country: whether the ad shows up, which creative version users see and where the link leads. To see mobile ads the way your audience does, browse from mobile carrier addresses in the target country. Media buying teams running offers across many geos often use mobile IPs to sign up and warm up ad accounts, then residential IPs for day-to-day work. More on the affiliate marketing proxies page.

Testing mobile sites and apps

Many services show mobile visitors a different page, different prices or a different feature set. Resizing your browser window isn't enough to see what a smartphone user in a given country sees: you also need a carrier address. Connect a rotating port and load the page a few times to confirm it looks the same from different IPs.

QA testers check mobile apps the same way before a launch in a new country: sign-up, payments, localization, in-app ads and behavior on a carrier network. You can set the proxy in the Wi-Fi settings on Android or iPhone, or in an emulator on your computer.

Registering and warming up accounts

Websites run their strictest checks at the door: account creation, phone verification and the first days of activity. That's where a mobile address helps most. Give each account its own sticky port and antidetect profile instead of spreading one account across dozens of IPs. Setup steps for popular antidetect browsers are in our guides.

How to make mobile traffic go further

Mobile is the most expensive proxy type, so it pays to spend it deliberately. Keep in mind that traffic counts in both directions, sent and received. A few habits cut the bill noticeably:

• Split the stages. Use mobile IPs for sign-up and warm-up, and residential proxies for daily work where checks are softer. They cost less, $1.59 per GB.
• Skip what you don't need. Scrolling video feeds burns the most: on TikTok it's roughly several hundred megabytes an hour. Turn off video autoplay and block images in scripts that don't need them.
• Set a limit. In plan settings you can cap traffic per hour, day or week and either stop the plan or just get a warning. Turn on email or Telegram alerts for when your balance runs low.
• Use separate plans per project. Each plan has its own username, balance and stats, so you can see which project uses the most. You can move traffic between plans of the same type in whole GB.

Limits worth knowing up front

UDP isn't supported, so messenger calls and online games won't work through the proxy. Mail ports are closed; open ports are 80, 443, 53, 853, 5228, 5060, 8080, 8090, 8443 and 8888. Some websites are closed to all customers, including government sites, banks and payment systems. The full list is on the blocked sites page.

The pool is shared: another customer may have used an address before you, and these plans have no dedicated single-user IPs; for one, see static proxies. If a website has already flagged some addresses as proxy or VPN, turn on the anonymity filter in your pool settings to screen them out. To see which IP and country you're browsing from, use the My IP tool. Each plan supports up to 1,000 concurrent connections.

You can connect over HTTP(S) or SOCKS5, with a username and password or via the IP whitelist: up to 5 addresses per plan, no username or password needed. If you need more concurrent connections or run more projects, create more plans; there's no cap on how many. The generator in your dashboard builds ready-made proxy lines in the format your antidetect browser or script expects.

Cheap mobile proxies: 4G, 5G and LTE without renting a modem

Most mobile proxy providers rent you a modem or a port by the day or month. Here you pay for traffic instead: $2.50 per GB, the same price at any volume, and unused gigabytes stay on the plan. For light tasks such as account management or mobile ad checks, that is usually the cheapest way to get real 4G/5G/LTE carrier IPs. You can buy mobile proxies with crypto, and switch between a rotating IP per request and a sticky session in the generator.

Popular locations are the USA, the UK, India and Ukraine; the country is selected in the generator at no extra cost.
