Cricket ip Address won't change that much
 

Since I have been using cricket and pdanet off my phone to access my accounts my ip address barely changes for example it is:
167.564.8
167.564.43
167.564.65

Only the last numbers change on my ip address I remember when using sprint it would change all the time is any one else having this problem or should I buy one of those broadband cards from cricket?
Reason I ask is because I will sometimes get the same ip and it would link my accounts together.

Ok just an update when I connect to pdanet and tether my phone ipburger shows the above ip address off my laptop but when I go to ipburger off of my phone the ip address is totally different, does anyone know why this is or how I can fix it?

Give me an example of the numbers you're getting in this case.

I think cricket has its own, much smaller network than the other bigger providers which could explain your limited range of IP addresses.

The issue is with Crickets's network. So, the dongle will only yield the exact same results.

Well when I connect to pdanet and go to ipburger off of my laptop it will only show the limited ip addresses which will link my accounts its always arizona ips which is where im at, but as im connected and go to pdanet off of my phone the ip address shows a different number for some reason and says its in washington.

You're testing these results in the exact same location each time correct?

Good point, changing location could change cell towers and therefore IP's.

Guess I will go to starbucks and see if I can get more ip addresses but so far it looks like cricket only is giving local ip addresses, so if it does not work im going to switch back to sprint.

I do the same thing. I use my phone to tether to EB and PP using cricket. My ip address only changes the last two numbers. The strange part is that i live in NV but my ip address says AZ. So i make my stealth account's address in AZ.
I don't worry that much cuz the ip address change and i appear to have about 250 to 300 different ones.
The day when i run about of new ones i will hop over to metro pcs (yuk) or i another inexpensive phone provider. I am looking into simple mobile and their 4g service. I will try them out in 2 weeks when my $5k in paypal is pass 180 days.

It doesn't matter where your IP geolocates.
