This guide assumes you have already created your first Mobile Proxy. The process is very similar to using Residential proxies, but with additional targeting capabilities.

Your Connection Credentials

Navigate to your proxy’s settings page in the My Proxies dashboard to get your Host, Port, Username, and Password.

Example: Getting an IP from a Specific ISP

Let’s make a request through T-Mobile US. ISP targeting is a separate mode - it cannot be combined with geo parameters (country, state, city). Use the ISP numeric code in the -isp- parameter.
# Replace with your actual credentials
# -isp-310260 = T-Mobile US
USERNAME="PROXY_USERNAME-isp-310260"
PASSWORD="PROXY_PASSWORD"
HOST="proxy.catproxy.net:5555"

curl "https://api.ipify.org?format=json" \
  --proxy "http://${USERNAME}:${PASSWORD}@${HOST}"
The response will be a JSON object containing an IP address from the selected ISP’s network in the US.
You’ve now mastered the basics of mobile targeting! For a full list of parameters, check out our Geo-Targeting guide.
