Mobile proxies exit through carrier networks on 4G and 5G. Use this list to compare providers that sell those IPs for social apps, anti-detect browsers, and other carrier-sensitive work.
A mobile proxy sends traffic through an address that a mobile operator assigns to a phone or a modem. Apps that trust carrier ranges treat that exit as a handset on a cell network.
Take this type when the target is strict about hosting and home-broadband flags. If the job is ordinary scraping on a site that already accepts household IPs, residential proxies are usually enough.
Bright Data sells residential and mobile proxy access for scraping and research. It fits teams that need documented country targeting and a clear product split.
SOAX sells rotating residential and mobile proxies from shared pools. It fits teams that need household and carrier exits in one vendor.
Confirm what “rotation” means on a mobile plan. Some products keep one modem and change the public IP when the carrier NAT refreshes. Others move you across a pool of carrier addresses on a timer. Those behaviors are not interchangeable when an app pins a session to a subnet.
Compare per-port and per-GB billing with the way you hold connections. Anti-detect browsers often sit on a port for hours, so a port fee is easier to forecast. Short bursts of API calls may fit metered traffic instead. Ask what happens if you idle on a port all day.
Check country and carrier targeting. A country filter is the minimum. A named operator matters when an app treats two carriers in the same country as different reputations. If the provider cannot name the operator, assume you will get a mix.
Ask how many customers share a modem or a carrier IP. A dedicated modem is simpler for account work. A shared mobile pool is cheaper and noisier. If the listing does not say, treat sharing as unknown and test before you scale.
