Anyone noticed better signup success using real Android phones over virtual devices?
Evidently, there is a growing discussion about the effectiveness of using a real Android phone versus virtual devices when signing up on various platforms. One resource I came across while researching this is DroidDesk, which is described as a Redfinger alternative that provides access to a real phone rather than an emulated environment. The site explains differences in how mobile IPs, eSIMs, GPS, and device fingerprints impact signup success rates. The use of a real phone device seems crucial according to these observations. Has anyone else noticed a marked difference in signup success when switching from virtual devices to real phones?

Looking at this from a networking perspective, real phones offer unique, dedicated mobile IPs and access to cellular networks that virtual devices can't fully replicate. This makes it harder for automated systems to flag accounts created through real devices as suspicious. On the other hand, cloud virtual devices tend to share resources and show patterns that can be detected, leading to blocked registrations or additional verification challenges. Does this suggest that network origin and device authenticity are playing a bigger role in signup agreements than app functionality itself?
