Questions
Why are mobile addresses the most expensive here?
Carrier capacity is scarce and shared. 73 of the 545 plans priced here are mobile, read 5 Oct 2026, and they carry the highest per-gigabyte rates on the table.
Why are they so hard to block?
Because thousands of real subscribers sit behind each carrier address, so blocking one address blocks paying customers of that carrier. That is the whole of the value, and the reason for the price.
Do I actually need mobile?
Only if your target treats mobile traffic differently or has already blocked everything else. Test residential first inside a refund window; mobile is the expensive answer to a question residential often answers.
