Quick answer

What is a mobile proxy?

A mobile proxy is a proxy whose exit IP comes from a cellular carrier. Your traffic leaves through a 4G or 5G modem with a SIM card, so websites see a phone-network visitor. FiftyStateProxy offers dedicated T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon ports at $3.75 for one day or $45 for 30 days, as of October 2026. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Pay in crypto.

How does a mobile proxy work?

A mobile proxy works by passing your requests to a modem that holds a carrier SIM and is attached to a 4G or 5G network. The modem sends each request over the cellular network. The website therefore sees the carrier's public IP address, not yours.

A US mobile proxy is a 4G or 5G modem on a T-Mobile, AT&T or Verizon SIM that lends its carrier IP to your requests.

A FiftyStateProxy dedicated port gives you a whole modem. Unlimited data on your dedicated port, under fair use: the carrier may slow or pause very heavy use. One customer per modem, no resale. You connect with the host, port and login shown in your dashboard. Login options: Username/password or IP allowlist. Proxy (data) access only: no SMS, no calls, and no direct access to the SIM card or the device. The guide on how to rotate a mobile proxy IP covers IP changes.

What is CGNAT, and why does it matter for mobile proxies?

CGNAT (carrier-grade NAT) is the method carriers use to put many subscribers behind one public IPv4 address. RFC 6598 reserves the 100.64.0.0/10 block as shared address space for that purpose.

Behind carrier-grade NAT, one public mobile IP is shared by many real subscribers at once, so blocking it also blocks paying customers. Cloudflare wrote in October 2025 that one such address can stand for hundreds or even thousands of users. This makes a blanket ban on a carrier IP costly for the site that issues it.

The effect has limits. The same Cloudflare study measured about three times more rate-limiting on CGNAT addresses than on other addresses. Carrier IPs still get challenged; they are costly to ban outright. T-Mobile US has moved its network to IPv6-only, using 464XLAT to reach IPv4 sites.

Which carrier IPs does a US mobile proxy use?

A US mobile proxy uses the public IPs of the carrier behind its SIM: T-Mobile, AT&T or Verizon at FiftyStateProxy. Each carrier announces its ranges under its own network numbers, per RIPEstat as of October 2026:

  • T-Mobile USA: AS21928.
  • AT&T Mobility: AS20057.
  • Verizon Wireless (Cellco): AS22394 and AS6167.

Several prepaid brands run on these three networks, for example Mint Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile (T-Mobile), Cricket (AT&T) and Visible (Verizon). Their subscribers reach the web through the host carrier's network. The comparison of T-Mobile vs AT&T vs Verizon proxies helps you pick one.

Dedicated port or rotating per GB: which mobile proxy should I buy?

Buy a dedicated port when you need one carrier IP that you control. Buy rotating mobile traffic when you need many carrier IPs for light, spread-out requests.

BillingPer port: $3.75 for 1 day, $45 for 30 daysPer GB, from $1.50/GB

Good fitOne stable IP per account, long sessionsLight requests spread over many IPs

A 30-day port at $45 costs 60% less per day than 30 one-day ports at $3.75 each. Rotating mobile traffic drops from $2.99/GB on 1 GB to $1.50/GB on 100 GB. A port that runs all day for weeks is the cheaper route for heavy, steady use.

When should I use a mobile proxy instead of a residential proxy?

Use a mobile proxy for mobile-first platforms, for accounts that each need one stable IP, and for testing what phone users see. Typical jobs:

For bulk public-data collection, residential traffic costs less: $0.52/GB against $1.50/GB for rotating mobile. Both mobile products sit on the page for US mobile proxies with a dedicated carrier port.

How much does a mobile proxy cost with FiftyStateProxy?

FiftyStateProxy prices a dedicated US mobile proxy at $3.75 per day, $15 per week or $45 per 30 days, as of October 2026. Rotating mobile traffic starts at $2.99 for 1 GB. Both are bought from a crypto balance, topped up from $25. The page on how much a US mobile proxy costs lists every plan.

Mobile proxies: frequently asked questions

Is a 5G mobile proxy faster than a 4G one?

A 5G link carries more bandwidth where coverage is strong, but the network a port gets depends on where its modem sits. At FiftyStateProxy: 4G LTE or 5G, depending on carrier coverage at the modem location. The gateway hop also adds some delay to every request.

Can I choose T-Mobile, AT&T or Verizon for my mobile proxy?

Yes, on dedicated ports. Dedicated ports are subject to stock per country and carrier; the checkout lists the carriers in stock. If we cannot deliver your port within 24 hours, its full price goes back to your balance.

Do mobile proxies ever get blocked?

Yes, no IP is immune. Carrier IPs are shared by many subscribers, which makes a blanket ban costly, yet Cloudflare found CGNAT addresses are rate-limited about three times as often. Pace your requests and rotate between tasks, not mid-session.

Can I use one mobile port on several devices?

Yes. Use your port from several of your own devices and tools at the same time; bandwidth is shared between them. Reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed.

Does a mobile proxy include SMS or calls?

No. Proxy (data) access only: no SMS, no calls, and no direct access to the SIM card or the device.

Do I need ID to rent a US mobile proxy from FiftyStateProxy?

No. FiftyStateProxy asks for no ID, no selfie and no documents. You pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC from a $25 top-up.
