Mobile carriers assign IP addresses in a way that makes their traffic hard to ban. With carrier-grade NAT, hundreds of phones can share one public address, so blocking it would cut off real subscribers. This is why 4G and 5G proxies are popular for mobile SERP tracking, app testing, and ad checks.
Not every provider defines mobile the same way. Some pools mix 3G, 4G, 5G, and LTE connections from millions of devices, while others rent you one modem with one SIM card. Billing follows the same split: per gigabyte, per day, or per month.
10 Providers With 4G and 5G Coverage
For short tests or uneven workloads, a provider with per-GB billing keeps costs tied to use, while all-day jobs on one IP can cost less on a dedicated device. Prices were checked in November 2026 and exclude VAT.

What 5G Changes for Proxy Users
5G mostly changes speed. Opensignal measured average 5G downloads in Europe at 191.7Mbps in Q1 2026, over triple the 4G figure, but a wide 5G usage gap meant phones were on 5G only 14.5% of the time. That helps explain why most providers sell 4G and 5G together.
On the trust side, anti-bot systems mostly check whether an IP belongs to a mobile carrier, not which radio generation it uses. A 5G IP earns no bonus over a 4G one.
The GSMA projects that 57% of mobile connections will run on 5G by 2030, so 5G lines should get easier to buy over time.
Mobile Proxy FAQ
Can You Choose a Specific Carrier?
Often, yes. Most pools filter by ASN, which maps to a carrier, and Oxylabs and ProxyEmpire offer carrier targeting. Coronium and IPRoyal sell dedicated lines on named networks.
Why Do Mobile IPs Cost More Than Residential Ones?
Carrier data costs more to source, and mobile pools are smaller. DataImpulse, for example, charges $1 per GB for residential traffic and $2 for mobile.
What Are 4G and 5G Proxies Used For?
Common uses include tracking search engine results pages, ad verification, price monitoring, and app testing. Providers ban fraud and spam in their terms, and reputable ones source IPs with user consent.
