Mobile cell phone gives different time zone than browser
 

I am thinking about using a dedicated cell phone with a new phone number, and tethering it to my Virtual Machine on my Windows 10 computer. Everything else (LLC, back account, bank debit card, address, phone number, etc) are all new and different. What I am concern about is that the connection IP on the cell phone company is different every time a connection is made and is in a different time zone than my browser and new physical address. And, the type of connection is not “residential” but is “cellular”.

Several members of this forum have stated that a new cell phone being tethered to your computer is an acceptable solution to the IP address issue. Is eBay/Amazon/Etsy OK with changing IP’s on cell phone connections? I am thinking that several “non-stealth” people must be using their iPad or cell phone on their accounts and they apparently don’t have issues.

So I just wanted to confirm that cell phone tethering is an acceptable solution that will work with stealth accounts, even though you get a different IP address depending on where the call pops out on the cell phone network.

Thanks

As long as the time zones are within the same country it really doesnt matter (from what I have tested). I havent made an account using mobile IPs in a while, but from what I hear from others who do, it no longer workers unless youre on a mobile device. So if youre using a PC or laptop, and use a mobile IP account will be suspended. You can always try for yourself and report back.

That's perfectly fine. I know a lot of people who just use mobile IPs and tether to their mobile device and it works fine.

I'm more of a paranoid perfectionist because if I lose an account because I'm cheap and not wanting to pay a couple bucks, I'd be mad.

So I go for the best solution for peace of mind and efficiency which is ipburger residential IP.

This way I can focus on other problems without worrying on the small things.
