How do I target Mobile in the proxy username?
You pick Mobile by adding city-mobile (and state-al) to the username you already use. No other endpoint, no extra fee.
USERNAME-country-us-state-al-city-mobile: rotating Mobile IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.USERNAME-country-us-state-al-city-mobile-zip-36605: narrows to ZIP 36605, one of 13 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.USERNAME-country-us-state-al-city-mobile-asn-7922: asks for an IP on Xfinity's network (AS7922) when one is online in Mobile.USERNAME-country-us-state-al-city-mobile-session-mobi01-ttl-30: keeps one Mobile IP for up to 30 minutes; it can change earlier if the home device goes offline.
City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. If a narrow request returns errors, drop the ZIP or ASN segment first, then the city. The full format is on the city targeting page.
Which internet providers serve homes in Mobile?
Mobile counts 101,245 residential units in the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 filing). Wired home internet there comes mainly from Xfinity (97%) and AT&T (90%), by share of units covered. Fiber is available to 62% of homes and cable to 99%; copper DSL lines still reach 66%. T-Mobile Home Internet (72%) and Verizon 5G Home (70%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).
These shares describe the market, not our pool. The network behind a given Mobile exit depends on which residential device is online, so check the IP's ASN (AS7922 is Xfinity) before you compare results between runs.
What local details matter when you test from Mobile?
With 201,367 residents in 2024, Mobile ranks 126 among the 181 US cities over 150,000 on this site; the population fell 2.7% since 2020. The city is part of the Mobile, AL metropolitan area; the metro had 412,339 residents in 2024.
For tests that read local details, expect area code 251, Central Time and ZIP codes such as 36605, 36693 and 36618. A proxy changes the IP only: set the time zone America/Chicago and the language in your browser or tool yourself. Sales tax in Alabama: 4% at state level, 9.46% on average with local rates (July 2026), added at checkout on most sites. Alabama had no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force in October 2026.

What else do people ask about Mobile proxies?
Which Mobile ZIP codes can I request?
Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 13 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Mobile, among them 36605, 36693, 36618 and 36606 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors.
Is a Mobile proxy server the same as a residential proxy?
Not always. "Mobile proxy server" means any proxy with a Mobile IP; public free lists mostly show shared data-center or open servers that change often. A residential proxy sends your request through a home connection in Mobile, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write country-us-state-al-city-mobile in the username; plans start at $1.50.
Can I get a Mobile IP from one internet provider?
Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-al-city-mobile-asn-7922 asks for Xfinity (AS7922). Per the FCC map, Xfinity serves 97% of Mobile homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.
Does a Mobile IP set the local time on my tool?
No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Mobile uses Central Time (UTC−6, UTC−5 in summer); set America/Chicago and an en-US locale in your browser or test runner if the page you check reads them.
How do I hold one Mobile IP during a session?
Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-al-city-mobile-session-mobi01-ttl-30 keeps one Mobile exit for up to 30 minutes. Sessions last up to 30 minutes; the IP can change earlier if the residential device goes offline. Use a new session ID to get a new Mobile IP.
Which area codes belong to Mobile?
Mobile numbers use area code 251 (NANPA, read 2026-10-18). A proxy does not give you a phone number: it only changes the IP address of your web requests.
