What's included
- One proxy connection, dedicated to you for the duration.
- All three protocols on it at once, so HTTP, SOCKS5 and OpenVPN are all live.
- IP rotation on demand, which is the thing most worth testing before you pay.
- No payment method on file, so nothing can start charging when it ends.
What isn't
- More than one connection. If you need to test several accounts in parallel, this won't do it.
- A choice of country or carrier. You get what's free in the pool at that moment.
- An extension. It's granted once per account, and verifying your email again does nothing.
- A rollover into a paid plan. Nothing converts automatically, you choose or you don't.
What 48 hours is enough for
Enough to answer one question, which is whether a carrier IP works on the target you care about. Point your real tooling at it on the first evening rather than the second. A trial spent reading documentation tells you nothing you couldn't have learned from the docs.
It isn't enough to judge stability. Two days won't show you how a proxy behaves across a carrier maintenance window or a week of drift, and anyone claiming their trial proves reliability is overselling what a trial can do. If reliability over time is your question, budget for a month and measure it properly. We sell these, so weigh that accordingly, but the shape of the answer doesn't change: short trials answer compatibility, not durability.
What other providers mean by "free trial"
Worth checking before you compare, because the phrase covers three different things in this market.
Providers who ask for a deposit
A common shape in this market is a trial that needs $1 to $11 on your balance before it starts. The money is usually yours to keep or spend, but it isn't a free trial, it's a small prepayment with a different name.
Providers who ask who you work for
The larger platforms often reserve the longer trials for verified company registrations, and give individuals something shorter or nothing. Worth knowing before you spend an afternoon on a signup form.
Providers who don't offer one
Several well-known mobile proxy sellers charge for the trial outright and say so on the page. That's more honest than a deposit dressed up as free, and it's the reason to check what a rival means by the word before comparing.
Who shouldn't bother
If you want to run one or two social accounts from your own phone, you don't need a proxy at all and the trial will just confirm that. Your phone is already on a carrier IP. If you need several connections working in parallel to test anything meaningful, one proxy won't represent your setup either, and you'd learn more from a month on a small plan than from 48 hours on a single port.
For the fuller version of that argument, including the cases where the answer is no, see are mobile proxies worth it, and is there a free mobile proxy plan answers the same question in one page.
Frequently asked questions
Is the mobile proxy trial really free?
Yes, in the sense that matters: no card, no deposit, no balance top-up. You create an account, verify your email, and the trial is granted at the moment of verification. There's no code to enter and nothing to request.
How long does the free trial last?
48 hours from the moment your email is verified. That's a deliberate choice rather than a limitation of the billing system. It's long enough to point real tooling at a real carrier IP and find out whether it works on your specific target, which is the only question a trial can answer.
What happens when the trial ends?
The connection stops answering and nothing is charged. There's no automatic conversion to a paid plan, because there's no payment method on file to convert. If you want to continue you pick a plan yourself.
Can you get a free mobile proxy without a trial?
Not one worth using. Free proxy lists are public by definition, which means the addresses are on the same blocklists every platform reads, and shared with everyone else who found the same list. A free mobile proxy that stays clean would cost the operator a SIM and a phone every month, and nobody funds that for strangers.
Do you need a credit card for the free trial?
No. There's no payment method collected at any point during the trial, which also means there's nothing on file that could be charged when it ends.
Verify your email, get 48 hours
No card, no deposit, no sales call. The trial starts the moment your email is verified and ends by itself.
