IP Address from 'THREE'
 

Guys,
Just a question about IP.

I have a three mobile dongle that gives out random IP address everytime...even seconds later.

I also have a three mobile, but when i re-connect to the internet it keeps giving me the same'ish ip addresses. (im using mobile as my dongle has run out of bloody gig)

Like it will give out 3 or 4 and just rotate them for a few days.

Anyone know why? Was thinking of gettng a second dongle from another provider.

Each carrier only has a certain number of IPs per cellphone tower. You don't need to get a new one from a different carrier, just move to a different location and you'll get a whole different set of IPs. If that's too much work for you then getting another carrier's dongle will give you new IPs

Im stationary in the same location for a long time boss.

U nee to switch the phone to flight mode and back off again after 2 seconds and restart foxfi which i use or hotspot tethering and ip will change every time
but u will still br limited to about 255 ip addresses as the first number never change, i use this to run 2 stealth accounts
I have unlimited tethering on 3 but most networks don't allow this and can ban you after 30 mins

Hey mate,

Yeh i do the same thing.
Flight mode, restart foxfi, but still im getting a loop of about 5-10 ips...

very fustrating..

considering a 2nd dongle or some thing, for a new carrier.

I have 2 different models of 3 dongles and the ips are ALWAYS different. it has only been the same abut 5 items since i have had them.

I am the same as Bunneh and never seen a sim card on 3 network only dish out 5 ips

Re: IP Address from 'THREE'
 

Seriously the last few digits keep rotating about 15 times.

This is getting annoying now. 15 different IP addresses in about 150 connections

This is a PAYG sim

Maybe look up your dongle model and see if anyone else has problems with it?

I'm tethering it from a mobile phone. Its a basic sim

Re: IP Address from 'THREE'
 

Can you not put the sim from your phone into your dongle and see if you get different ip's?

Re: IP Address from 'THREE'
 

I don't think ip's go by the cellphone tower because I have driven 5 miles out of my area and still get the same ip range and 5 miles out defo has different celltower.

I also checked on the net as to where the cellphone towers are and drove to them and still same ip range.

I could be wrong but that is what happened to me.

Why are you worried?

If it is dynamic that's OK.

How many accounts involved?

:spy:

Re: IP Address from 'THREE'
 

about three or four accounts.

the last three digits of the IP rotate about 20 times and that is it, maybe less..
bit odd?

should i be worried?

Re: IP Address from 'THREE'
 

If its only 3 or 4 accounts, it should be ok beacause if you get a repeat ip you can always use it on the account it has repeated from - assuming you are logging your ip's and users etc.

Re: IP Address from 'THREE'
 

i went and bought another THREE mobile broadband sim, with pre loaded 1gb, it was £3.99 from PC WORLD/CURRYS and its giving me random IPs constantly , which is good. I just put it in my existing dongle.

I wonder my the sim with my dongle only has a few? Wierd... Ill keep that one on ice for a while. ITs a contract one, doh.
