# Start using Mobile Proxies

Start by registering an account on the [Oxylabs dashboard](https://dashboard.oxylabs.io/en/). Purchase a plan and create a proxy user.

### Make a cURL request <a href="#h_e4cfca4a7d" id="h_e4cfca4a7d"></a>

Once you have the proxy user set up, 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 proxy user 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.

### Location and session parameters <a href="#h_f775c22ebc" id="h_f775c22ebc"></a>

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 <a href="#h_9d7378e0cb" id="h_9d7378e0cb"></a>

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 <a href="#h_1eadd62e96" id="h_1eadd62e96"></a>

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.
