Is there anyway to have a public ip address (can be dynamic doesn't have to be static but must be public) to a data sim? I know from other posts this wasn't possible several years ago but surely it is now?

 

very grateful for any help

Is it reasonable to assume that you received no response to this query?

 

I am also looking for my data only sim to have a public ip.

We can certainly look into this for you @Kevinmac19 👀 As it's not something we'd be able to set up over a public forum such as our community, please pop us a private message through our social channels.

You already have a public IP address, otherwise you wouldnt be able to connect to internet at all.
A local IP cannot connect to the internet on its own.
You'll have two IP addresses.  A local one, and a public one.

Example of Local - 192.168._._
Example of Public - 148.___.___.___

Without these two you wouldnt have any internet.


So go to a browser, and search for 'My IP address'
You'll find, this is different to your Local IP address.

And why does everyone have to go a social media website, like Facebook, to resolve a problem?  What is wrong with resolving issues within your own forums?  I cant get my head around that.
What happens if people dont use Facebook?  They cant get their internet fixed?

Im confused.  No harm in asking.
