Do cell phones have IP addresses? - fatsnow349 - 04-28-2014 05:52 PM
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2. Say I'm using the internet without being connected to Wifi. Walking around, in the car, etc. Does it have an IP address? Does the IP address on the phone change often?
Say I log onto a forum that can view IPs. Will it be different each time, probably?

Yes it does have an IP address but i am not sure if it changes every time.

mobiles don't exactly have an IP address. but you're right, if it did have one it will change dependent on your current location.

Yes. Anything connecting to the internet, in any form, will have an IP address assigned to it. It would change depending on if you switch connections during that time. Say you switch from data to wifi for example.

Yes. Yoiu will have a LAN IP address, a 2g/3G address (some may be separate) and a 4G address if applicable.
