You pick Phoenix by adding `city-phoenix` (and `state-az`) to the username you already use. No other endpoint, no extra fee. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-phoenix`: rotating Phoenix IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-phoenix-zip-85085`: narrows to ZIP 85085, one of 44 ZIP areas mostly inside the city. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-phoenix-asn-22773`: asks for an IP on Cox's network (AS22773) when one is online in Phoenix. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-phoenix-session-phoe01-ttl-10`: keeps one Phoenix IP for up to 10 minutes; it can change earlier if the home device goes offline. City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. When Phoenix has no matching IP online, widen to `state-az` and retry later. See [how city targeting works](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/). ## Which internet providers serve homes in Phoenix? Home internet in Phoenix is led by Cox, which the FCC map shows at 89% of 704,385 residential units, followed by CenturyLink (86%) (December 2025 data). Fiber is available to 27% of homes and cable to 74%; copper DSL lines still reach 74%. Fixed-wireless home internet is offered by T-Mobile Home Internet (70%) and AT&T Internet Air (56%). A residential IP in Phoenix is announced by the provider of the home it comes from. The FCC shares above tell you which networks to expect; the [ASN targeting page](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/asn/) shows how to pin one, for example AS22773 for Cox. ## What local details matter when you test from Phoenix? The Census Bureau counts 1,673,164 people in Phoenix for July 2024, up 4.0% from the April 2020 base. It anchors or belongs to the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ metro area (5.19 million people), which also includes [Mesa](https://metroproxies.com/cities/mesa-az/), [Gilbert](https://metroproxies.com/cities/gilbert-az/), [Chandler](https://metroproxies.com/cities/chandler-az/) and [Glendale](https://metroproxies.com/cities/glendale-az/). Phoenix uses Mountain Standard Time all year (America/Phoenix), the 480, 602 and 623 area codes and 44 ZIP areas. Match those in your test setup; the proxy only sets where the IP is. Prices shown to Arizona shoppers usually exclude sales tax: the state rate is 5.6%, and state plus average local rates come to 8.54% (Tax Foundation, July 2026). Arizona had no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force in October 2026. ## How much do Phoenix residential proxies cost? There is no city surcharge for Phoenix. 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 Phoenix 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).

Prices in USD. ## What else do people ask about Phoenix proxies? ### What is the difference between a free Phoenix proxy server and a residential proxy? A free Phoenix proxy server from a public list is usually a shared data-center or open machine, with no owner you can contact and no rules of use. A MetroProxies residential proxy routes through a home connection in Phoenix, AZ, with username and password, a public acceptable use policy and support by email. The Phoenix segment is `country-us-state-az-city-phoenix`. ### Can I keep the same Phoenix IP for several minutes? Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-phoenix-session-phoe01-ttl-10` keeps one Phoenix exit for up to 10 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 Phoenix IP. ### Can I target a ZIP code inside Phoenix? Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 44 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Phoenix, among them 85085, 85083, 85042 and 85043 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors. ### How do I target Cox in Phoenix? Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-phoenix-asn-22773` asks for Cox (AS22773). Per the FCC map, Cox serves 89% of Phoenix homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost. ### How many Phoenix IPs does MetroProxies have? MetroProxies does not publish IP counts per city. The number of residential devices online in Phoenix changes through the day. City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. Start with the 1 GB plan ($1.50) to test your own targets before you buy volume. ### Will a Phoenix proxy change my browser's time zone? No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Phoenix uses Mountain Standard Time all year (UTC−7); set `America/Phoenix` and an en-US locale in your browser or test runner if the page you check reads them. ## Which other Arizona cities can I target? - [Tucson, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/tucson-az/) — 554,013 residents - [Mesa, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/mesa-az/) — 517,151 residents - [Gilbert, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/gilbert-az/) — 288,790 residents - [Chandler, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/chandler-az/) — 281,231 residents - [Glendale, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/glendale-az/) — 258,143 residents - [Scottsdale, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/scottsdale-az/) — 246,170 residents - [Peoria, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/peoria-az/) — 199,924 residents - [Tempe, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/tempe-az/) — 190,114 residents ## Which large West cities are close in size to Phoenix? - [Los Angeles, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/los-angeles-ca/) — 3,878,704 residents - [San Diego, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/san-diego-ca/) — 1,404,452 residents - [San Jose, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/san-jose-ca/) — 997,368 residents - [San Francisco, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/san-francisco-ca/) — 827,526 residents **Test Phoenix with 1 GB** 1 GB for $1.50, city targeting included.
