Dedicated Mobile Proxies: A Modem That Carries Only Your Traffic

Dedicated mobile proxies, as we sell them, mean one physical modem holding one US carrier SIM, rented to one customer for the whole term, with nobody else's traffic passing through it before, during or alongside yours. That is a different product from the shared mobile pool most of the market sells under the same words, and the difference shows in the two places buyers care about most: the reputation of the address they work from, and the number of accounts they can safely run on it. This page explains what dedicated means on our racks, how it compares with a pool, what the carrier address looks like to a platform, how rotation and speed work, and what a modem costs by the hour, day, week and month.

Dedicated modem prices

The price buys the whole device for the whole term. Nobody else is on it, and data and rotation are unlimited on every plan.

What a shared pool sells, and what a dedicated modem sells

Most mobile proxy offers on the market are pools. The provider enrols thousands of phones through an app or an SDK, often without the owners paying much attention, and rents slices of those connections a few minutes at a time. You get an address, then another, then another, and you never learn whose handset you were on or what the previous renter was doing through it. The pool is cheap to build and easy to scale, which is why it is everywhere.

A dedicated modem is the other way of building the product. We buy the hardware, we buy the SIM from AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon, we rack the device in a US city, and we assign it to one customer for the term they paid for. While it is yours there is no second login on it, no queue behind you and no stranger who can change its address while you are halfway through a session. The address history on that device, for as long as you hold it, is only what you did.

Both products produce a carrier address, and both are honestly described as mobile proxies. They are not the same purchase. The pool suits work that wants many addresses briefly and does not care about any one of them. The modem suits work that wants one address for a long time, or one address per account, and cares a great deal about what that address has been used for.

IP reputation: what your address inherits and what it does not

A carrier address is shared by design. The carrier sits thousands of real subscribers behind one public address through network address translation, which is exactly why platforms are slow to block it: a block would cut off real customers in the same city. That part of the address's reputation is shared on a pool and on a dedicated modem alike, and it is the good part.

The part that differs is everything that happens on your side of the carrier. On a pool, the exit you are using right now may have been used an hour ago to hammer a platform, and platform fingerprinting is good at linking sessions that come from the same device in the same minute. On a dedicated modem there is no such neighbour. If an address gets a bad reaction, it is because of your own traffic, and you fix it by rotating, which pulls a fresh address from the same carrier gateway.

This is also why we do not reassign a modem between customers mid-term and why a device never carries two logins. The product is only worth paying more than a pool for if the isolation is real, and we would rather sell fewer modems than quietly blur that line.

How many accounts one dedicated line can carry

There is no number we can print that is true for every platform, so we will not invent one. What we can explain is how the arithmetic works. On a sticky address, a platform expects to see a small number of accounts, the way a household or a small office looks, and it grows suspicious when dozens of logins share one phone address in one day. Rotating between batches gives each batch a fresh address from the same carrier, which resets that count without changing city or carrier.

Agencies tend to use one modem per client, so no two clients ever share a line or an address history. Operations that need many addresses at once usually buy several modems rather than rotating one line constantly, because a modem that rotates every few minutes behaves less like a phone than one that holds an address for the day. Whichever pattern you choose, the modem is yours, so the ceiling is set by the platform's tolerance, not by a quota in our dashboard.

Rotation that only you can trigger

Left alone, a dedicated modem keeps its address for as long as the carrier keeps the session, which is normally hours and sometimes much longer. When you want a new one, you ask for it from the dashboard, through your personal rotation link, over the API or on a timer you set. There is no limit on the number of changes and no waiting period between them. The new address comes from the same carrier in the same metro.

On a pool, rotation happens to you. On a dedicated modem, rotation is something you do. That distinction matters most for long sessions, uploads and logins that cannot survive a mid-stream address change, which is a large part of why people buy dedicated hardware in the first place.

4G LTE or 5G on a dedicated modem

Both networks are available on every carrier and in every city, stock permitting. A 4G LTE modem typically runs 20 to 45 Mbps, which is more than enough for account work, browsing, form-heavy flows and steady collection. A 5G modem runs 50 Mbps and up and makes sense when you push video, large pages or many parallel sessions through one line. Data is unlimited on both.

The gap between them is one dollar a day on the daily plan, so the decision is about the work rather than the budget. If you are unsure, start on 4G by the hour and move to 5G if the job turns out to want it.

Three kinds of device, every one of them yours alone

At checkout you pick the hardware. The USB modem is the simplest form of a dedicated line and the most common. The 4G/5G cellular router holds one SIM for one customer and is built for long sessions and steady throughput over weeks. The Android phone is a real handset with one SIM, identical to an ordinary subscriber because it is one. Whichever you choose, the rule does not change: one device, one SIM, one customer, for the whole term.

Which to pick follows from the work. Account management and browsing are fine on the USB modem. A monitor, a seller account or anything that must stay up for a month without a restart leans toward the router. When the platform looks at the device as well as the address, the phone is the honest answer, because what it sees is a handset on a carrier network with one SIM. The carrier, the city and the price are identical across the three, so the choice costs nothing but a moment's thought.

Where the modems are, and how to move one

We rack in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Miami, Boston and North Carolina. Houston is the deepest shelf when you need several modems in one place; New York and Los Angeles are the coastal defaults; Chicago is the neutral middle. If a job moves, or you picked the wrong metro, you relocate the assignment yourself from the dashboard, free, and the remaining days come with it. There is no ticket and no second payment.

What a dedicated modem costs

A 4G modem is $5 a day, $28 for seven days and $69 for thirty days. A 5G modem is $6, $31 and $79 on the same terms. The hourly test is $2 for the first two hours on 4G and $3 on 5G, then the same amount for each extra hour up to four, never auto-renews, and counts toward the day if you keep the line. Unlimited data and unlimited rotation are included on every plan, and HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 with UDP are on every modem.

The thirty-day price is a little higher than a pool charges for the same period, and the reason is the whole point of the product: a pool spreads one modem's cost across many customers, and we do not. Pay by card, PayPal, crypto, Zelle or wire, the modem goes live the moment payment clears, and if your first order does not work for your target within 24 hours, we refund it.
