Buy Mobile Proxies in a Minute: Pick the City, Pick the Carrier, Pay, Connect

If you want to buy mobile proxies without a sales call, a waiting list or a guess about what will arrive, you are in the right place. Mobile Proxy Zone sells real US carrier lines the way a good deli sells lunch: everything is on the board, the prices are on the board, and you point at what you want. Eight American cities, three carriers, 4G LTE or 5G, by the hour, the day, the week or the month, with unlimited data on every pass. This page walks the whole order in sequence, from opening an account to your first request through the line, and then covers the parts people ask about afterwards: how payment works, how quickly the line shows up, what happens if it does not suit the job, and how passes renew. Every step is a button in the dashboard, and none of it needs a ticket.

Passes and prices, the same in every city

One price list for all eight cities and all three carriers. The only things you decide are the network and how long you keep the line.

Create an account Plans on the homepage

Step one: pick a city from the board

The menu opens on the cities. We run racks in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Miami, Boston and North Carolina, and each city shows what is actually on the shelf today: which carriers, on which network, in what hardware. If a combination is sold out, the board says sold out rather than taking your money and leaving you waiting. That one habit saves more support tickets than anything else we do.

Choosing a city is mostly a question of where the job is. An account registered to a Manhattan business wants a New York line. A ticket drop for a Los Angeles venue wants a Los Angeles line. Houston is our largest rack and the place to look when you need several lines in one metro at once. Chicago gives a neutral, central address when you would rather not look coastal. Phoenix and North Carolina are quieter geos that do not stack onto the crowded big-city ranges, and Miami is the natural pick for anything that touches both the US and Latin America.

Boston deserves a note of its own. The hardware is physically in Boston, but the two carriers land differently in the geolocation databases that websites read: Verizon addresses there read as Boston, while AT&T addresses read as New York. If the job needs a Boston reading, order Verizon. If a New York reading is fine or even preferred, AT&T in Boston gives you a second shelf of New York-reading addresses.

Step two: choose the carrier and the network

Every city carries AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, stock permitting, and each carrier is offered on 4G LTE and on 5G. If the accounts you run already have a US phone number attached, matching that carrier is the sensible default. If not, pick whichever is in stock in your city; for most jobs the three behave the same way, because the thing that matters to a platform is that the address belongs to a mobile carrier at all.

4G or 5G is a throughput question. A 4G LTE line on our racks typically runs at 20 to 45 Mbps, which is plenty for browsing, account work, checkout flows and scraping at a steady pace. A 5G line runs at 50 Mbps and up, and it earns its place when you push video, heavy pages or many parallel sessions through one address. The price difference is one dollar a day, so if throughput is in doubt, take 5G.

The last choice on this step is the hardware. A USB modem is the standard item on the menu and what most people order. A 4G/5G router holds the same kind of SIM in a box built to stay up for weeks at a time. An Android phone is a real handset on the carrier network, for jobs that should look like a phone in every detail, because it is one. The city, the carrier and the price do not change with the device.

Step three: pick a term and pay

Terms run from an hour to a month, and the price is the same in every city. The hourly test is $2 for the first two hours on 4G and $3 on 5G, then $2 or $3 for each extra hour up to four hours; it never renews on its own, and if you keep the line for a full day the hours you paid come off the day pass. The day pass is $4 on 4G and $5 on 5G. A week is $26 or $29, and thirty days is $62 or $69, which is the lowest price per day on the board.

Pay by card, PayPal, crypto, Zelle or wire. There is no setup fee, no minimum order and no difference in price between payment methods. Card, PayPal and crypto clear in the time it takes the payment to confirm; Zelle and wire take as long as your bank takes, and the line goes live the moment the money lands.

Step four: the line arrives, usually within a minute

Activation is automatic. As soon as the payment clears, the dashboard shows the host, the ports and the username and password for your line, and it is already serving. There is no provisioning queue and no email to wait for. From checkout to the first request through the proxy is normally about a minute, which is why the homepage promises what it promises.

Each line exposes HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 on its own ports, with UDP available over SOCKS5. Paste the details into a browser profile, a phone's proxy settings, a script or any tool that accepts a standard proxy and you are working. If a tool is being awkward, the setup guides cover the common ones, and support will walk you through anything that is not covered.

Using the line: rotation, sticky addresses and free moves

A line holds one address for as long as the carrier keeps the session, which is typically hours and often longer. That is what most account work wants. When you want a fresh address, press the button in the dashboard, call your rotation link, hit the API or set a timer, as many times as you like, with no limit and no cooling-off period. The new address comes from the same carrier in the same city, so a rotation never quietly moves you to another state.

If you picked the wrong city, or the job moved, relocate the line yourself from the dashboard. It is free, it takes a couple of minutes, and the time left on your pass goes with the line. A day pass bought for a Chicago job can end its day in Phoenix without a ticket or a second payment.

Refunds: the first day is on us if the line does not fit

A proxy either works for your target or it does not, and you usually know within the first hour. If your first order with us does not do the job within 24 hours of purchase, write to support and we refund it. We would rather hand the money back than argue about a line that was wrong for the work. The refund policy linked in the footer says exactly that, in writing.

The hourly pass exists for the same reason. For $2 you can run a real test on a real 4G line in the city you are considering, and if it does what you need, the day pass picks up where the hours left off.

Renewals, extensions and what happens when a pass ends

Hourly passes never renew by themselves. Day and week passes run their term and stop. The thirty-day pass can be set to renew automatically from the dashboard, and the switch is yours: turn it on for a line you intend to keep, turn it off when the project ends. Nothing renews without that switch being on.

Any pass can be extended before it expires, and extending keeps the same line and the same address history, which is what you want for an account that has settled onto an address. If a pass is allowed to run out, the line stops serving and goes back on the shelf for the next customer. Buying again gives you a fresh line, which is fine for most jobs but worth avoiding if the address history mattered.

What people order a city line for

The common thread is work that changes depending on where the phone is. Prices, inventory, listings, ads and search results are all tuned by city, and a line in the right city shows you what that city sees, on the carrier its residents actually use.

• Ticket and event presales, checked the way a local phone sees the venue
• Local service listings, so a salon or a contractor is checked from the city it serves
• Travel fares and hotel rates from the metro the customer books from
• Real-estate rents and availability as a renter in that city sees them
• Ad verification on the carrier and in the city a campaign targets
• Account management, giving a city-registered account a steady address from that city
• App testing on a real carrier network where your users live
