France 4G/5G mobile proxies

Which mobile networks can I use in France?

Mobile IPs in France come from SIM cards on Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom, Free Mobile. France has four mobile network operators: Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom and Free Mobile. Arcep counted 84.7 million SIM cards in service, excluding M2M, on 30 June 2026. A June 2026 agreement to sell SFR to its three rivals has not closed.

Well-known brands and MVNOs that run on these networks include Sosh (Orange), RED by SFR, B&You (Bouygues Telecom), La Poste Mobile, Lebara. A mobile IP from any of them belongs to the address ranges of its host network.

Why do websites trust mobile IPs?

Mobile networks share a small pool of public IPv4 addresses between many subscribers through carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT, RFC 6598). One mobile IP can therefore carry traffic from many real phones at once.

Websites know this, so they rarely block a mobile IP outright. This is a mechanism, not a guarantee: behaviour that breaks a site's rules still gets flagged. Learn how to check an exit IP in our ASN lookup guide.

What are France mobile proxies used for?

Teams use French IPs to check google.fr rankings, prices on Amazon.fr, Cdiscount and Fnac, Leboncoin listings, and ads on French news sites. Regional IPs in Paris, Lyon or Marseille show local results.

With a mobile IP in France, teams typically:

• test apps and mobile checkouts as customers on Orange, SFR see them;
• verify mobile ads and app-install campaigns shown in France;
• track mobile search results on google.fr;
• manage brand and client social media accounts from a stable local IP.

How do I change the IP of a France mobile port?

Each dedicated port has its own rotation link. Call it and the modem reconnects to the carrier, which usually assigns a new IP within seconds:

Replace {port} with your port number and API_KEY with your key from the client area. You can also set an automatic rotation timer. Connection details for HTTP and SOCKS5 are in the quickstart guide.

Is it legal to use mobile proxies in France?

Using a proxy is legal in France; what matters is what you do through it. For scraping, the GDPR and Loi Informatique et Libertés apply under CNIL supervision; Article 323-1 of the Code pénal penalises unauthorised system access.

PontProxy blocks online banking, government portals, payment processors and outgoing email (SMTP ports 25, 465 and 587), and every account follows our Acceptable Use Policy. Mobile ports are not for SMS verification, account farming or ban evasion.
