# Start using Mobile Proxies
Find out how to start using Oxylabs Mobile Proxies for block-free web scraping.
Start by registering an account on [Oxylabs Dashboard](https://dashboard.oxylabs.io/en/). Purchase a plan and create an instance.
### Make a cURL request
After creating an instance, you’ll be directed to a screen with a cURL that you can copy:
```
curl 'https://ip.oxylabs.io/location' -U 'customer-USERNAME:PASSWORD' -x 'pr.oxylabs.io:7777'
```
Replace the USERNAME and PASSWORD with the instance credentials you’ve just created, paste the code [into your terminal](https://oxylabs.io/resources/integrations/terminal) (or any other setup you're using), and run the command to make a basic request using a random cellular network IP address.
Check out this video guide for a quick reference:

The video was recorded using a previous version of the dashboard. An updated version is coming soon. Check our [documentation](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/mobile-proxies) for comprehensive information on setup, including location parameters, entry nodes, response codes, and more.

### Location and session parameters
If you want to connect to a Mobile Proxy located in a specific country or city, visit the [Location settings](/products/proxies/mobile-proxies/location-settings.md) page in our documentation. All of these geo-targeting options are free of charge:
* Continent
* Country
* City
* State
* Coordinates
* ASN Targeting
To extend your session time for a specific IP address, see this [Session Control](/products/proxies/mobile-proxies/session-control.md) page.
### Integration guides
In case you want to use a proxy manager or other third-party software, see this integrations page for step-by-step instructions. There, you’ll find integration guides for the most popular third-party applications.
### Endpoint generator
The Endpoint generator allows you to quickly create and receive a list of endpoints by choosing the parameters you need. You can find in-depth steps on how to use it on this [Endpoint Generator](/products/proxies/mobile-proxies/endpoint-generator.md) page.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://developers.oxylabs.io/help-center/getting-started/start-using-mobile-proxies.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
