A cellular point of view
Test the web through a phone’s mobile data connection. The exit is a cellular IP, using the network available to that participant.

Rotate or stay for a session
Use rotating requests or add a session identifier when your workflow needs continuity. Sessions depend on the chosen phone staying online.
Consent comes first
Participants install our app, agree to share their connection, and are paid for the traffic they carry. That is how our mobile supply works.
Made for real work
Understand the experience on mobile networks.
Check your own mobile web experience, validate localized landing pages, and review how public content is delivered over a cellular exit. Use the free allowance to measure fit before you commit traffic.
Explore use casesFollow a request
A familiar setup. A real consumer exit.
Your client keeps its familiar proxy configuration. The difference is where the traffic goes next.
- 01
Your client makes a request
Use your account credential in an HTTP CONNECT or SOCKS5 client. Add only the country, type, and session markers your workflow needs.
- 02
The gateway selects a matching exit
We authenticate your credential and look for an available participant that matches your targeting. Unavailable filters produce a clear capacity error.
- 03
A real connection carries the traffic
The request exits through the cellular connection of a participating phone. The destination sees that network address.
- 04
Usage connects value to both sides
Your balance reflects the metered traffic. The person providing the connection is paid per gigabyte for the bandwidth they share.
The controls you actually needChoose the route.
Choose the route.
Keep your tools.
Targeting is part of the username, so any compatible client can use it without a special SDK. Start with the network type, then add a country or session only when your work needs it.
Country and network targeting
Select an available country and the residential or mobile network type. No matching exit means no_capacity, not a different location.
Rotating and sticky sessions
Use independent rotating requests or pin an exit device for a related sequence. A device session is not a permanent IP reservation.
HTTP CONNECT and SOCKS5
Copy the right endpoint from your dashboard and configure your existing tools. Your secret stays the same when you add targeting markers.

Plan your first test- Verify an exit before starting a larger job.
- Test the network type and countries that matter to you.
- Check session behavior with your own client.
- Measure traffic per useful result, including overhead.
- Review your balance and top up only when you need more.
Is this a real phone connection?
Yes. A mobile exit uses a participating phone’s cellular data connection. Residential exits use home internet instead.
Can I choose a carrier or a city?
The public targeting controls are country and network type, with optional sticky sessions. We do not advertise city or carrier selection. See supported targeting.
Is the same mobile IP guaranteed?
No. People can disconnect and carriers can change addresses. Sticky sessions offer continuity while the selected exit remains available; they are not dedicated IP reservations.
Which protocols can I use?
Both HTTP CONNECT and SOCKS5 are available. Copy the corresponding endpoint from your dashboard and use it in a compatible client.
Can I switch between residential and mobile?
Yes. Use the appropriate network type marker with the same account and prepaid balance, subject to available exits and your credential’s permitted targeting.
How do sticky sessions work?
A session pins an exit device while it remains available. The device’s network can change its IP address. If the device goes offline, the gateway reports that instead of silently moving the session.
