Use case

Udemy Proxies for Regional Pricing QA and Instructor Accounts

Udemy prices the same course differently depending on where the learner is and which promotion is running, and it shows different homepages, categories and deals by market. Instructors checking what their course costs to a US buyer, course businesses comparing their pricing against competitors, and teams managing an instructor account all need a US, mobile, trusted view that stays the same over time. SimProxies gives you one real carrier SIM in one modem in a US city, rented to you alone, so the view is a US learner on a phone and the account logs in from the same place all month.

What Udemy shows by place

Course prices are set per market, and promotions are targeted by country and sometimes by device. The homepage and the recommendations reflect the market too. An instructor outside the United States checking their own listing sees their own market's price, not the one a US learner in Houston pays. The site reads the connection address to decide which market you are in, and a hosting address tends to get a generic page or a verification step rather than the local one.

On the account side, an instructor dashboard that is opened from a different network every week looks different from one opened from the same carrier in the same city every day.

A US carrier SIM for pricing checks

Our lines are real AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon SIMs in physical 4G and 5G modems in eight US cities. The address is shared with real subscribers behind the carrier's network translation, so the site treats it as a learner, and the modem is dedicated, so the only pattern on the address is yours. Open a course page signed out through the SIM and you see the US mobile price and the US promotion, which is the number a US buyer actually pays.

Sticky for the instructor account, rotating for checks

An instructor account stays sticky: sign in through the SIM, manage courses, answer questions, read revenue, sign out, and leave the address alone in between. A monthly plan keeps the same SIM in the same modem for thirty days, and with the renewal on the account never wakes up on a different line.

Signed-out price checks across many courses can rotate between batches. Trigger a rotation, wait for the reconnect, confirm the address still resolves to a US carrier, continue. Repeated addresses are normal.

What a month of price checks shows

Udemy runs promotions constantly, and a course's effective US price moves with them. Checking the same set of courses daily from a US carrier SIM gives you the real curve: the list price, the promoted price, how long each promotion ran and what competitors charged at the same time. Instructors use that to set their own pricing with evidence rather than guesswork.

Keep the checks signed out, in a browser profile separate from the instructor account, and rotate between batches. The instructor account stays on its own sticky address for the whole month, so revenue reports, Q&A and course edits all come from one place. Data is unlimited, so previewing your own videos through the SIM to check the US playback experience costs nothing extra.

Keeping device and network aligned

The SIM fixes the network signal. The browser profile should agree with it: time zone set to the SIM's city, US English, no location sharing, WebRTC masked. With those in place, a pricing check from Los Angeles is what a learner in Los Angeles sees, and an instructor account looks like an instructor working from one place. Run only accounts you own or are authorized to run.

  • Signed-out price checks for the true US mobile price
  • Instructor account on one sticky address for the month

Udemy proxy questions

Why does the price differ from what I see at home?

Udemy prices per market and per promotion. A US carrier address shows the US price a learner on a phone pays.

Can I check prices and run the instructor account on one SIM?

Yes, if it is one instructor's business. Use separate browser profiles so the signed-out checks never touch the account session.

Is 4G enough for uploading course videos?

It works, and data is unlimited. Pick 5G if you upload large files often; the uplink is faster.
