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](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/). ## 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. ## How much do Mobile residential proxies cost? There is no city surcharge for Mobile. As of October 2026 the 1 GB test plan is $1.50, 100 GB is $50, and the per-GB price falls to $0.50/GB. Traffic you do not use stays on the account. ### Which plan fits a Mobile test? | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Test | 1 GB | $1.50 | $1.50/GB | | Local | 10 GB | $5.94 | $0.59/GB | | National | 100 GB | $50 | $0.50/GB | | Terabyte | 1 TB | $500 | $0.50/GB | Pay in crypto only (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). The top-up is the price of the plan you choose, less any balance you already have, and at least $25; anything left stays on your balance. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Prices in USD. ## 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. ## Which other Alabama cities can I target? - [Huntsville, AL](https://metroproxies.com/cities/huntsville-al/) — 230,402 residents - [Birmingham, AL](https://metroproxies.com/cities/birmingham-al/) — 196,357 residents - [Montgomery, AL](https://metroproxies.com/cities/montgomery-al/) — 195,818 residents ## Which large South cities are close in size to Mobile? - [Amarillo, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/amarillo-tx/) — 203,729 residents - [Columbus, GA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/columbus-ga/) — 201,830 residents - [Augusta, GA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/augusta-ga/) — 201,737 residents - [Knoxville, TN](https://metroproxies.com/cities/knoxville-tn/) — 198,722 residents **Test Mobile with 1 GB** 1 GB for $1.50, city targeting included.
