Ip adress

Ava

Hi , my up address on my phone cellular without WiFi keeps changing. What causes that?

I haven’t went anywhere and it’s changed to 3 different places that are a fair distance away.

Anyone know?

  • We ran out of IPv4 addresses many years ago and don't have enough to go around.

    You are probably on CGNAT (which means you are sharing your IP address with many other users), but even if you are not on CGNAT, you will still be assigned one dynamically, which means it will change from time to time (especially if the device reconnects or moves between cells).

    If you want your own fixed IPv4 address on a cellular connection you will have to pay a lot of money for it.
