Static IP with home internet or business internet?
Is it possible for me to get one or more static IP addresses if i sign up for either T-Moble home internet or T-Mobile busness internet?
Ideally, I need 2 or 3 static IP addresses.
Also, if I move to a different location where T-Mobile home or business internet is offered, would I get to keep the same static IP addresses?
Thank you very much.
I was told by Tmobile tech support that in order to have a static up address, you need to ask Tmobile for an inseego or cradle point router. The gateway routers are not capable of using a static ip address. It was preventing our gateway routers from working.
It should be a say option for a user to request a Static IP. Not everyone would need it but also, why are there two streaming services that can't have another way in determining your location. YouTube TV does it. It's just Sling TV and Hulu TV require a static IP. If I was TMobile I would want to fix it in fear Xfinity starts using this failure in their advertisements.
Dedicated IP via VPN
After reading this thread, I didn’t bother reaching out to TMobile support, upgrading my home account to business, or any of that.
If you have a VPN service like NordVPN, you can purchase a dedicated IP. With Nord, you have to choose your desired location, typically the nearest major city. This may or may not solve the problem for those that need a dedicated IP for streaming services, but it should certainly solve those that need a dedicated IP for whitelisting for work.
