The basics
What is a mobile proxy?
A mobile proxy sends your request through a device on a cellular network, so the website sees an IP address that a mobile carrier handed out. Carriers put many subscribers behind one public address and move it between them all day, which is why sites rarely block these addresses: a block would lock out a slice of the carrier's real customers.

Features
What is included
Every feature below comes with every plan of this product, at no extra cost.
Real 3G, 4G and 5G connections
Every address belongs to a mobile carrier and reaches the internet through a cellular link. Generation sets speed, not trust, so one price covers all three.
Carrier, city and country targeting
Choose a country, narrow it to a city, or pin a single carrier when an app or ad network must see one specific mobile network.
Rotating and sticky sessions
Get a new carrier IP on every request, or keep one for a session of 1 minute to 24 hours with the same session keys as residential.
HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5
Port 7100 for HTTP and HTTPS and 7101 for SOCKS5 on mob.proxyhive.cc, one login for all of them.
Unlimited concurrent sessions
Run as many parallel connections as you need. The plan counts gigabytes only.
Highest trust per request
Shared carrier addresses carry the history of thousands of normal phone users, which is what strict platforms look at first.
Sessions
Rotation, sessions and targeting
Keys go in the user name. The first request of a session fixes the IP; changing the targeting starts a new session.
Rotating
user-country-gbEach request draws a new mobile IP in the country, ideal for broad collection across a mobile site.
Sticky session
user-country-gb-session-m4n8q2-ttl-30Holds one carrier IP for 30 minutes. Use it for logged in sessions and app flows that check the address between steps.
Carrier
user-country-us-carrier-tmobileTakes every IP from one carrier. Carrier names are written in lowercase without spaces.
Targeting keys
| Key | What it selects | Example |
|---|---|---|
| country- | A country by its two letter ISO code. | country-us |
| city- | A city in lowercase, spaces written as underscores. | city-los_angeles |
| carrier- | One mobile carrier, lowercase, no spaces. | carrier-verizon |
| session- | 6 to 10 letters or digits that name a sticky session. | session-m4n8q2 |
| ttl- | Minutes a sticky session holds its IP, 1 to 1,440. | ttl-30 |

Where mobile proxies earn their price
Mobile addresses are the most trusted addresses on the internet because so many real people share them. Platforms that score every visitor, such as social networks, marketplaces with strict fraud checks and app backends, give carrier IPs the benefit of the doubt. That makes mobile proxies the tool for account management, app testing, mobile ad verification and any target that keeps refusing home IPs.
They are also the most expensive traffic, so the usual pattern is to send the bulk of a job through residential proxies and keep mobile for the steps that need it.
Carrier targeting in practice
Some checks need one specific network: an ad that should only show to subscribers of one carrier, a mobile site that serves different content on different networks, or an app feature launched with one operator. Add the carrier key with the country key and every IP in the session comes from that operator. Each country page lists the carriers you can target.
Sessions and stability
A mobile device can change address when it moves between cells or reconnects, so even a sticky session may move earlier than its ttl. For flows that need one stable address for days, a static ISP proxy is the better tool; for flows that need the trust of a carrier address for minutes or hours, a sticky mobile session is ideal.
