Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-surprise-asn-22773` asks for Cox (AS22773). Per the FCC map, Cox serves 92% of Surprise homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost. ### What is the difference between a free Surprise proxy server and a residential proxy? A free Surprise 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 Surprise, AZ, with username and password, a public acceptable use policy and support by email. The Surprise segment is `country-us-state-az-city-surprise`. ### How many Surprise IPs does MetroProxies have? MetroProxies does not publish IP counts per city. The number of residential devices online in Surprise 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. ### Can I keep the same Surprise IP for several minutes? Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-surprise-session-surp01-ttl-20` keeps one Surprise exit for up to 20 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 Surprise IP. ### What phone area code should a Surprise test use? Surprise numbers use 480, 602 and 623; these codes overlay the same area, so any of them is local (NANPA, read 2026-10-18). A proxy does not give you a phone number: it only changes the IP address of your web requests. ### Can I target a ZIP code inside Surprise? Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 5 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Surprise, among them 85387, 85374, 85388 and 85379 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors. ## Which other Arizona cities can I target? - [Phoenix, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/phoenix-az/) — 1,673,164 residents - [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 ## Which large West cities are close in size to Surprise? - [Garden Grove, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/garden-grove-ca/) — 172,361 residents - [Oceanside, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/oceanside-ca/) — 170,941 residents - [Fort Collins, CO](https://metroproxies.com/cities/fort-collins-co/) — 170,924 residents - [Lancaster, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/lancaster-ca/) — 167,426 residents - [Roseville, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/roseville-ca/) — 163,304 residents - [Palmdale, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/palmdale-ca/) — 162,536 residents **Test Surprise with 1 GB** 1 GB for $1.50, city targeting included.
