UK 4G/5G mobile proxies

Which UK mobile proxy lets me choose EE, Vodafone, O2 or Three?

PontProxy lets you choose EE, Vodafone, O2 or Three for every UK dedicated port, and the choice costs nothing extra. Pick the network at checkout or in the client area.

The UK now has three mobile operators but four network brands. Vodafone and Three merged into VodafoneThree on 31 May 2025. O2 belongs to Virgin Media O2, and EE belongs to BT Group. Each network still announces its own IP ranges, so an EE port and a Three port show different ASNs.

Subscriber figures below come from different quarters, so they show scale, not market share.

What changed in UK mobile after the VodafoneThree merger?

Vodafone UK and Three UK merged on 31 May 2025 to form VodafoneThree. Which? described it as the biggest UK mobile network, with around 27 million customers and an £11bn investment pledge over 10 years.

In May 2026 Vodafone agreed to buy CK Hutchison's 49% stake for £4.3bn. Vodafone's newsroom reported full ownership on 30 July 2026.

For proxy buyers, the practical point is simple. Vodafone and Three still run separate ASNs: AS25135 for Vodafone, and AS206067 and AS60339 for Three. At PontProxy you still pick Vodafone or Three as separate networks.

How big are EE and O2 in 2026?

EE and O2 are the other two UK network groups, and both are large. Recent operator figures:

• EE (BT Group). BT reported an EE 5G base of 14.5 million in the year to 31 March 2026. EE 5G+ population coverage rose from 43% to 73%. EE won 11 Opensignal awards in January 2026.
• Virgin Media O2. In Q2 2026 it reported 46.428 million total mobile connections, of which 24.5 million were contract connections. That total includes O2, giffgaff, O2 Business, IoT and MVNOs such as Sky Mobile and Tesco Mobile.

Opensignal gave O2 the Coverage Experience award and Three the fastest 5G speeds. These are network results, not proxy speeds. A proxy port's throughput also depends on the modem's location and your own route.

Which network are giffgaff, SMARTY, VOXI and other MVNOs on?

UK mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) rent capacity on one of the four networks, so their customers use the host network's IP ranges. A giffgaff phone, for example, gets an O2 address.

Which ASNs do UK mobile IPs belong to?

Each UK network announces its mobile IP ranges from one or two autonomous systems. Checking the ASN of your exit IP is the fastest way to confirm a genuine carrier address. Our ASN lookup guide shows how with RIPEstat or IPinfo.

One common error: EE's old AS12576 (EE Limited) is not announced. EE mobile ranges sit under BT's AS2856.

Why do websites trust UK mobile IPs?

UK mobile networks share public IPv4 addresses between many subscribers through carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT). EE's and Three's community forums both describe CGNAT on their mobile networks. RFC 6598 reserves 100.64.0.0/10 as the shared address space inside carrier NAT.

Because one mobile IP can carry many real phones at once, websites rarely block it outright. This is a mechanism, not a guarantee. Behaviour that breaks a site's rules still gets flagged, whatever the IP.

How much does a UK 4G proxy with a dedicated port cost?

At PontProxy, a dedicated UK port costs $4.50 for 1 day, $22 for 7 days or $72.75 for 30 days. The 30-day plan works out at $2.43/day, with unlimited traffic and carrier choice included.

That is 25% below Coronium's $97/month (UK), and the day plan is 25% below CyberYozh's $6/day (4G UK, unlimited), both checked 2026-10-05. Read the conditions too: a cheap day price can come with a traffic cap or a surcharge for picking the carrier.

Can I buy rotating UK mobile IPs per GB instead?

Yes. PontProxy also sells rotating 4G/5G mobile IPs from $1.50/GB, with country and carrier targeting. The traffic never expires, so this suits light or bursty jobs.

As of October 2026, DataImpulse charged $2.00/GB (mobile) and did not state carrier choice. Simply Proxies, a UK-only mobile provider, charged £2.00/GB, or £1.80/GB at 10 GB, with EE, O2, Vodafone and Three targeting.

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

Call your port's rotation link. The modem reconnects to EE, Vodafone, O2 or Three, and the network usually assigns a new IP within seconds. You can also set an automatic timer in the client area.

Replace {port} with your port number and API_KEY with the key from your client area. Connection examples are in the quickstart guide.

What are UK mobile proxies used for?

UK mobile proxies let teams see apps, sites and ads as UK phone users see them. Legitimate jobs include:

• App and mobile-site QA on a real EE, Vodafone, O2 or Three connection.
• Mobile ad verification for UK campaigns and app-install ads. See ad verification.
• Mobile SERP tracking on google.co.uk from a UK carrier IP.
• Social media management for brand and client accounts from a stable UK IP. See social media management.

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