I am trying to understand mobile proxies payment.

If I pay for a 'pay as you go' package does that mean that i pay for ALL mobile proxies I use?

So for example, if I need 6 Mobile Proxies for my LinkedIn Accounts (x1 Mobile Proxy per account) then the GB data is a TOTAL of those accounts?

So, it's irrelevant if I have 2 SIM numbers or 200 SIM numbers, I pay for total usage?

Is that correct?

Thanks

yes exactly. if you buy a pay per gb package from a provider, that data pool is shared across all the ports or IPs you generate. so if you have 6 linkedin accounts running on 6 different proxy ports from that provider, they all just drain from the same total gb balance. you don't pay per sim or per port in that specific model, you just pay for the total traffic passing through them. just watch out because linkedin can actually eat data pretty fast if you are loading a lot of feeds and images.
 
I think if you buy a pay-as-you-go package, you’re paying for total data usage across the network. So if you’re running 6 mobile proxies and they all draw from the same GB pool then yes, the data usage is combined.

There are actually two different models. PAYG (Pay as you go) is usually for residential pools where you pay for GBs. But for sensitive platforms like LinkedIn, it's risky because those IPs are shared.

The second model is Dedicated Mobile Ports (SIM-based). You pay a monthly fee for the modem and you get unlimited data. For 6 accounts, you can actually use just 3 dedicated ports and rotate the IP via API link between sessions. It's much safer and usually cheaper in the long run. I'm a dev and I use this setup for my own automation projects, it works perfectly.
 
Shared GB pool across all ports.
For LinkedIn 6 accounts won't eat much data anyway, it's mostly text. Don't overthink it
 
Yeah man, you’re thinking about it the right way with pay-as-you-go mobile proxies, you’re basically just paying for the total data you use. Doesn’t really matter how many SIMs or proxies you’re running, it all just adds up into one usage.

but if he wants to be sure - just check with the seller
 
yes, you've got it right. the data is pooled across all your proxies with pay as you go. doesn't matter if you're running 6 or 60 - you pay for total GB used across all of them combined.

SIM count or number of ports won't change your bill. it's purely about how much data flows through. so if your 6 LinkedIn accounts use 2GB total in a month, that's what you pay for. not 2GB per proxy.

Yes, usually PAYG means shared data usage across all ports. You pay for total GB used, not per SIM or per port. Instead, setups using real devices and SIM cards from carriers give you one dedicated port per proxy. You can typically run 2 to 3 accounts per port, and just use an IP change link or automatic rotation.
