I use Orange in the UK. They use a proxy at 193.35.132.150, and it does look like it's just the one address. However, Google can and do whitelist proxies, and they *should* be using the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header, which returns a 172.x.x.x address -- presumably that's the internal Orange IP. There's also HTTP_X_ORANGE_HOST, which in my case is an address in the 212.24.x.x range; I've no idea what that is. HTTP_VIA contains "1.1 pg-proxy1 (NetCache NetApp/6.0.6P1)" To answer the specific questions, I haven't tested Static Maps on my phone, so I haven't come across the problem. But if the issue *is* with the proxy then I don't think there is any client-side solution. Unfortunately if the technical support provided by Orange France is anything like what I've experienced in the UK, I don't think you're going to get anywhere with them either.
