Hi Folks-
Thanks for all the helpful info in the forum. I’m thinking of maybe going down the path of creating my own mobile proxies, but due to the cost of data in the USA I am wondering if it is really a worthwhile endeavor? I have just done some preliminary research on my own and haven’t really gotten in too deep. I’m thinking about the amount of time I would need to invest to learn+ initial investment for materials + ongoing charges…I’m probably answering my own question but it doesn’t really seem worth it.
How many accounts are you running?
I have 50 accounts
Yeah im running 35 atm and slowly switching from paid mobile to my own, it my country data plans are kinda cheap but for the US it can get pricey, calculate how much you are willing to spend and how much that is going to cost you
You can pretty much run 5-10 accs per sim

I thought about this too but data here in the US is so expensive Im not sure if it would be worth it.
Also I thought about learning how to set this up, setting this up, and also maintaining it. I figured it would take too much time doing all this that I would need to be in the mobile proxy business rather than botting on instagram.

Yeah you’re spot on…haha I originally wanted to just make content for instagram and now I’m knee deep in botting…I’m not so interested in diving into proxies…I’m already pretty far from where I started!

HAHAH same here. I speak with other social people who mainly do content creation and theyre like wtf are you into right now lol but theyre also the ones asking how to grow faster since quality content can only do so much if you arent going viral!

I also thought about this and I noticed that (unlimited) data from cricket wireless is 20$ a month. you can probs get it cheaper if you buy more
that isnt bad. but do they throttle speed after a certain bandwidth? That’d be good for what 10-15 accounts? How would you automate rotating the IP?
Where did you see that plan?
I cant find it on their website…
Your data is dirt cheap compared to Canada on mobile 
Regardless if you ever want to consider this route wait for sale times. Back to School and close to christmas especially. You can usually find some really good plans if you shop around enough only available during those times.
That’s my goal for this year looking at bringing on mobile proxies in-house. Although not sure how feasible that will be here. Canada has a noose around its neck when it comes to telecommunication value so my hurdle will be finding more than one decent plan from multiple carriers

Do you have plans with unlimited social media in the US?
I believe it’s part of a family plan.
I don’t know about dirt cheap but I guess if I got a family plan and added 4 or 5 lines of unlimited data it would probably be $25-$40 per line. Not bad I guess if using multiple accounts per line.
Some of our great pricings:
1GB -$25/mth
10GB - $60-90/mth (one line)
15GB - $75-115/mth
And that’s on the carriers with crap coverage
For full coverage networks:
10-50GB (not unlimited) - $75-$150/mth …but that’s without having texting capabilities
But now we’re getting off topic…and I just wanted to vent

Damn that is pretty bad 
I don’t know how much data MP uses if you do things but if you want to go stupid cheap and restrict yourself to just API usage…but you could consider stacking up on Freedompop sims if you can get them cheap enough. They offer permanent free 200MB/mth data plans that never expire.
I don’t know if swapping sims out though could cause red flags to IG…but if not and you don’t mind swapping them out that’d be a free internet process for you.
It was something I was considering until I found out they can’t connect in Canada.

Are u kidding?
In Italy i ve unlimited social media for 9€ or 40gb for 15€
Thought it was expensive
No, we don’t have social media plans. T-Mobile did like 3 years ago but no longer. Most cap the “unlimited” data at around 20GB or less, so you’d be lucky to get 3-4 per line.

Canada has an unhealthy obsession with oligopolies. Both our telecommunications and our financial systems are handled by only a few major providers and legislation preventing new competition from emerging. We pay more for virtually everything here.
The only “competition” that arises are subsidies of those larger companies where they just have different names run by the same people. Hell for years the two tech box store giants were Best Buy and Future Shop. Two subsidies of the same company and I would watch people rant about issues at one store and brag about how they’ll boycott store A and go to store B.
