Verizon Mobile Proxies, City by City

Verizon is the carrier on our menu that sits still. Leave a Verizon line alone and it keeps its address for a long time, and its pools are labelled with the right metro more consistently than the others, Boston included. That makes it the pick for an account that should look like one settled phone. This page covers what a site sees from Verizon, how it reads in each of our eight cities, and how to order one.

What a site sees from a Verizon line

A Verizon line gives a site an address registered to Verizon Wireless, also listed as Cellco Partnership, on autonomous systems AS6167 and AS22394. Every geolocation and fraud vendor we have checked flags both as mobile. The location field reads the state and the metro with unusual consistency. The address is shared with ordinary Verizon subscribers behind carrier NAT, and what you hold alone is the SIM, the device and the history they build during your term.

Verizon's two AS numbers are a quirk of its history: AS6167 is the older Cellco registration and AS22394 the one most of its newer pools sit in. Both are flagged mobile by every vendor we have checked and both read with the same metro labelling. A site does not distinguish between them and you do not need to; the dashboard shows whichever one the gateway hands your device.

Verizon's pools carry the carrier's own subscribers plus the prepaid lines and virtual carriers that run on its towers, so a Verizon address is busy with ordinary phones at every hour. That shared history is why a Verizon line is treated like a handset rather than like a server, and why it tends to score calmly on fraud checkers.

City-by-city behaviour

Verizon is the carrier whose metro labelling we trust most across the menu.

• New York: reads as New York, New York metro. Large pool, long sessions.
• Los Angeles: reads as California, Los Angeles. Consistent.
• Chicago: reads as Illinois, Chicago. Consistent.
• Houston: reads as Texas, Houston. Consistent.
• Phoenix: reads as Arizona, Phoenix. Consistent.
• Miami: reads as Florida, Miami. The most reliable Miami read on the menu.
• North Carolina: reads as North Carolina, Charlotte or Raleigh by device.
• Boston: reads as Massachusetts, Boston. This is why we point Boston customers to Verizon: AT&T on the same shelf reads as New York, Verizon reads as Boston.

4G and 5G on Verizon

Both radios present the same AS numbers and the same pool, so a site sees no difference. At the device, 4G LTE typically 20–45 Mbps, 5G 50+ Mbps, depending on carrier signal at the device. Verizon's 5G is strong in the dense cores of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Boston on our shelves and improving elsewhere. Most jobs are fine on the 4G day pass at $4; take 5G at $5 for heavy pages.

Rotation and sticky behaviour

Sticky is Verizon's nature. Left alone, a Verizon line commonly keeps one address for many hours, which is what a settled account wants. Rotation still works exactly as on the other carriers, from the dashboard, a rotation link, the API, a timer or by hand, with no wait between rotations, and the fresh address comes from Verizon's large regional pool. The pool is random, so repeats are possible, but Verizon's pools are big enough that repeats are uncommon in a day's work.

A typical Verizon day for an account looks like one address in the morning, the same address at lunch, and the same address at the end of the day. If you rotate by hand between tasks the new address arrives in a few seconds and stays just as long. For a research loop, Verizon produces fewer distinct addresses per hour than T-Mobile but each one is cleanly labelled, which suits jobs that care more about the metro reading right than about the count.

Who should pick Verizon

Anyone running an account that must look like one phone in one city. Anyone ordering Boston or Miami, where Verizon's metro read is the most reliable. Anyone whose account or audience is on Verizon. Less necessary for research that rotates constantly, where T-Mobile's eagerness to hand out fresh addresses is the better fit, though Verizon does that job fine too.

Verizon also pairs naturally with a T-Mobile line in the same city when a job has both a settled part and a rotating part: the account lives on Verizon, the research runs on T-Mobile, and the two never share an address. Two day passes make that $8 for a day.

Ordering a Verizon line

Locations page, city, Verizon, 4G or 5G, term. Register at zone.mobileproxyzone.com/register, pay, and the line activates automatically with a host, port, username and password for HTTP(S) and SOCKS5. Day $4 or $5, week $26 or $29, month $62 or $69, hourly test $2 or $3 for the first two hours. Verizon lines in Boston and Miami are the ones that go out of stock first, so if you see one, take it; a move to another city later is free and keeps your remaining time.
