Public IP (IPv4/IPv6) with "O2 Free Pro Unlimited Max" SIM in a 5G Router for Server?

Hello O2 Community,

I am a business user (Selbständiger) and I am considering getting a second, dedicated "O2 Free Pro Unlimited Max Online" SIM card specifically for use in a 5G/LTE router (Zyxel FWA710) to provide the main internet connection for my office.

For my work, I run a small server, and it is essential that I can open specific ports (port forwarding) to allow incoming connections. Before I purchase this new SIM, I need to be 100% sure this is feasible.

To do this, I obviously need a publicly routable IPv4 address. I understand that by default, most mobile plans use CG-NAT, which blocks this.

My specific questions are:

  1. Is it possible to get a public IPv4 address on the "O2 Free Pro Unlimited Max Online" mobile tariff?

  2. If yes, what is the exact procedure to activate this? (e.g., Is it a specific APN, a "Zusatzoption" I need to book, or do I need to call the business support?)

  3. What are the monthly costs for this public IP add-on?

I am asking about this mobile solution because I am struggling with the fixed-line options at my address.

When I check the O2 website for fixed-line internet (O2 Home), the only option available is the "O2 HomeSpot (LTE/5G)" solution. This is very confusing because I know for a fact that a full FTTH (fiber optic) installation is physically present in the building (the previous tenant had a fiber connection).

So, my main goal is to get a speedy and stable connection with a public IP. Is my best path to add this feature to a new "Pro" mobile plan, or can someone from the O2 team please help me find the "hidden" FTTH option that the website is not showing for my address?

Thank you for any help or clarification you can provide.

Best regards,

Alberto

Hello ​@XAFETPO,

regarding the forward porting you need an open dynamic IPv4-Adress) in order to configure the ports, which we can activate for a one-time fee of 49,99 € for your number.

Regarding fiber at your contact address I checked this as well: As of now it is not available, which at first sounds indeed stranege when it is already in the house.

The reason for this is that we as o2 rent fiber as well as other broadband-technologies like DSL or cable via other providers who own the network.

In the case of you address we have no cooperation with the provider or not yet regarding your address.

This then leaves mobile or O2 HomeSpot (LTE/5G), which is a fixed address solution also using our own mobile network.

Best Regards,

Gerrit

Hello Gerrit,

Thank you very much for checking the availability at my address for the fiber.
This sounderd also very strange for me, and unfortunately I don’t know which was the previous provider that made the installation.

I’ll go with the 5G hotspot as you suggested since the signal with my other SIM card is good, and I’ll ask for the open dynamic IPv4 address once the SIM card will be active.

Thanks again and I wish you a nice weekend.
Alberto

Bitte beachten, dass die öffentliche IPv4 nur mit LTE/5G NSA funktioniert und nicht mit 5G SA.

Vielen Dank für die Information. Glücklicherweise ist mein Router sowohl mit Standalone- (SA) als auch mit Non-Standalone- (NSA) Implementierungen kompatibel.
