IP assignments by dial up service providers

by shpl . Updated 19 years, 11 months ago

I use a dial-up account on my wireless landline phone from the phone company itself. I am finding that each time I dial up or log in, they assign me a new IP address. Is this normal or some sort of special security precaution that they seem to be adopting. I visit some sites who may want to grab my IP address and keep tabs on me for collecting info on me, so it suits me fine if I am being assigned a new IP every time I go to the net. That way presumably I am safer and operating with greater privacy. Will appreciate any info/advice on this.
