From drawer phone to working proxy
The same four steps you'll see in the app's getting-started guide.
Install the app
Download the Android app — no root required, works on any stock phone or tablet with a SIM from Android 8 up.
Pair with a PIN
Sign in on the web, get a one-time pairing PIN or QR code, and enter it in the app. The PIN refreshes every few minutes, so pairing stays private.
Grant permissions & connect
The app walks you through battery and background permissions, then holds a tunnel to our gateway — over Wi-Fi or cellular, your choice.
Use your proxy
Create proxy ports — SOCKS5 or HTTP(S), your pick per port — each with its own username/password. Every request exits through your phone's SIM — a real carrier IP.
$ curl -x socks5://user:[email protected]:30020 \
https://api.ipify.org?format=json
{"ip": "100.66.219.14"} # ← your phone's carrier IPEnforced cellular egress
The exit IP is always the carrier's
The app binds every egress socket to the cellular network at the OS level — even while the phone sits on Wi-Fi. With Wi-Fi split, the tunnel leg rides your home Wi-Fi and only responses spend mobile data: roughly half the consumption, same carrier exit IP.
- ✓No Wi-Fi leaks — enforced per socket, not per setting
- ✓IPv4 + IPv6 dual-stack, where the carrier provides it
- ✓UDP too: QUIC, HTTP/3 and DNS through SOCKS5 UDP
IP rotation
Fresh carrier IPs, four ways
Rotate on demand from the app or dashboard, on a timer the phone keeps itself, from your scripts over the REST API, or with a no-auth rotation link you can hand to any tool. Every past exit IP lands in a deduplicated history you can audit.
Mobile networks make rotation best-effort — we say so instead of pretending, and the dashboard alerts you if a phone gets stuck on one IP.
Multiport
One phone. Up to 20 sellable proxies.
Mint up to 20 independent proxy ports in bulk — 10 on Standard, 20 on Pro — each with its own name, username/password, speed limit, traffic cap, and site blocklist. Hand one to each customer, watch per-credential usage, and revoke any port without touching the rest.
Everything between your SIM and your customer
The hard parts of running mobile proxies — solved in the app and the gateway, not left as an exercise.
Real cellular egress — enforced
Traffic leaves through the SIM even when the phone sits on Wi-Fi. Every egress socket is bound to the cellular network at the OS level.
Wi-Fi split
The tunnel rides your home Wi-Fi while responses exit over mobile data — roughly halving mobile data use without touching the exit IP.
IP rotation
On demand, on a schedule, from the app, the dashboard, the API, or a rotation link you can paste into any tool.
Multiport
Up to 20 independent proxy ports per phone — each with its own name, credentials, speed limit, and traffic cap. Built for reselling.
Byte-accurate metering
Bytes up and down are counted at the gateway per credential and land in your dashboard within minutes.
SMS / OTP capture
One-time codes that land on your SIMs are forwarded to your dashboard — optional, and only on phones you own.
VPN add-on
For $4.99/device a month, export a WireGuard and an OpenVPN config per proxy and tunnel whole devices through your carrier IP — SafeVPN Plus included.
Filtered, legitimate egress
Private ranges and known-bad destinations are blocked at the gateway before they reach your phone. Your SIM stays clean.
Fleet management
Groups, statuses, alerts, and usage for every phone in one dashboard. One handset or two hundred — same workflow.
Health alerts
Stale-IP, duplicate-IP, and rotation-stuck alerts surface in the dashboard and API before your customers notice.
API for everything
Devices, proxies, rotation, usage — everything the dashboard does is one bearer-token REST API with a public OpenAPI spec.
Teams, roles & 2FA
Invite teammates with viewer→owner roles, delegate with scoped read-only API keys, and protect the account with TOTP 2FA.
API-first
Every proxy, scriptable
Pair phones, mint credentials, rotate IPs, and read usage over one bearer-token REST API — the same surface the dashboard uses. There's a public OpenAPI spec and a live console, so wiring it into your own storefront or scripts takes minutes.
$ curl -X POST \
https://mobileproxy.app/api/v1/subscriptions/sub_a41b/change-ip \
-H "Authorization: Bearer mpx_live_…"

Proxy farmers & resellers
Mint per-customer credentials with caps, watch usage, revoke instantly — and automate your storefront over the API.
Multi-account teams
A stable, residential-grade mobile IP per profile, straight from your own SIMs.
Social & ads managers
Run each account through its own carrier IP that no stranger has ever touched.
Scraping & research
Carrier CGNAT IPs that services treat gently — with rotation your scripts can trigger.
Ad verification
See placements exactly as a real mobile user in that carrier's network would.
Geo-testing & QA
Reach your own services from a genuine carrier IP in the country your phone sits in.
Owning beats renting
Rented mobile proxies commonly run $30–90 a month, usually on IPs shared with strangers. Your own phone does it better.
| Aspect | mobileproxy.app | Renting a proxy |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Flat per device — from $9 | Often $30–90, per-GB metered |
| The IP | Yours alone — a dedicated SIM | Usually shared with strangers |
| Traffic | Unlimited on your SIM plan | Capped or billed by the GB |

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to root my phone?
No. The app runs on stock Android 8 and newer. It uses regular Android network APIs — no root, no custom ROM, no ADB tricks.
Will it eat my mobile data plan?
Proxy traffic does exit through your SIM, so use a plan with enough data. Wi-Fi split cuts consumption roughly in half by carrying the tunnel leg over Wi-Fi, and you can watch usage per credential in the dashboard.
Why mobile IPs instead of residential or datacenter?
Carrier networks put thousands of real users behind one shared IP (CGNAT), so services treat those IPs gently — blocking one would block real customers. That makes mobile IPs the most trusted exit type available.
What protocols do I get?
Two: SOCKS5 and HTTP(S). Each proxy port speaks one of them — you pick it when creating the port; create one of each if a tool needs both. SOCKS5 ports also carry UDP (QUIC/HTTP3, DNS) via UDP ASSOCIATE, in clients that support it. Endpoints are handed to you as socks5://; use socks5h:// instead if you want DNS resolved on the carrier network.
Can I resell access to my proxies?
Yes — that's a first-class use case. Mint separate credentials per customer, set per-credential traffic caps and speed limits, watch usage, and revoke any of them instantly.
Where does the proxy's location come from?
From the phone itself — its carrier and physical location. To serve a country, place a phone with a local SIM there. IPv6 is supported end to end where the carrier provides it.
Is the app on Google Play?
During the beta we distribute the APK directly — remote-controlled proxy apps sit in a gray zone of Play policy, and we'd rather ship you the full feature set. A Play listing is planned.
What's forbidden?
Fraud, credential stuffing, attacks on networks or people, and anything else in the acceptable use policy. We filter abusive destinations at the gateway — it keeps your SIM and everyone's pool clean.
