# Mobile proxies

> IPs from real mobile carriers worldwide: highest trust signal, supports both city and region at the same time

Mobile proxies route your traffic through real mobile devices on real carrier networks. Mobile IPs carry the highest trust signal because they're shared by many real users (CGNAT) and rarely blacklisted.

## Specs

|                     |                                                                 |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Coverage**        | Global (30K+ IPs)                                               |
| **Protocols**       | HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5                                             |
| **Authentication**  | Username:password only                                          |
| **Session types**   | Rotating and sticky                                             |
| **Targeting**       | Country, region, city, ISP, **city and region can be combined** |
| **Threads**         | Unlimited                                                       |
| **Bandwidth model** | Pay-as-you-go GB, volume-tiered, never expires                  |

## Pricing

Mobile proxies use a volume-tiered pay-as-you-go model:

| Volume        | Per-GB Cost |
| ------------- | ----------- |
| 1-9 GB        | \$3.00/GB   |
| 10-49 GB      | \$2.75/GB   |
| 50-99 GB      | \$2.50/GB   |
| 100-499 GB    | \$2.25/GB   |
| 500-999 GB    | \$2.00/GB   |
| 1TB-2.499TB   | \$1.75/GB   |
| 2.5TB-4.999TB | \$1.60/GB   |
| 5TB+          | \$1.50/GB   |

Like all our products, bandwidth never expires.

## Gateway and ports

| Gateway                   | Port   | Protocol |
| ------------------------- | ------ | -------- |
| `mobile.eclipseproxy.com` | `5555` | HTTP     |
| `mobile.eclipseproxy.com` | `6666` | SOCKS5   |

## Example proxy

```
mobile.eclipseproxy.com:5555:emob_yourname:your_password_here_country-AO_city-luanda_region-luanda
```

Format breakdown:

```
emob_yourname                       ← your mobile account prefix
your_password_here               ← password
_country-AO                        ← Angola
_city-luanda                       ← city (Luanda)
_region-luanda                     ← region containing the city (can coexist with city)
```

Note the separator is `_` between segments (not `-` like Residential).

## Important targeting rule: different from Residential

**On Mobile, you can target city AND region at the same time.** This is the opposite of [Residential](/products/residential), where it's one or the other. This is because mobile network topology is different: the same IP can be tied to both a city (where the cell tower is) and a region (the carrier's administrative area).

## When to use Mobile

* The hardest anti-bot targets (TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat at scale)
* Ad verification where mobile context matters
* Account creation on platforms that scrutinize IP type
* Anywhere Residential is getting flagged and you need a step up in trust

## When NOT to use Mobile

* High-volume cheap scraping: way too expensive
* Targets that work fine on Residential: you're overpaying

## Common questions

<Accordion title="Can I use IP whitelist?">
  Not on Mobile. Use credentials from generator.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="What are mobile proxies / eSIM?">
  Not exactly eSIM. They route traffic through real mobile devices on cellular networks. Appears as normal mobile user to targets.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Why the emob_user format?">
  That's mobile format. See [Proxy format](/setup/generating) for full details.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Mobile proxy not working in Octo / Potatso / AdsPower">
  Set port explicitly: 5555 (HTTP) or 6666 (SOCKS5).
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Can mobile proxies rotate via API?">
  Force new IP by changing session ID in username. Same session ID returns same IP.
