Hi,

This is because of "DHCP" - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and the fact that the world ran out of IP addresses a very long time ago. DHCP gives your phone/computer/table an IP address from a pool of temporary addresses. Therefore you only have the address for a short while and every now and again you get given another one. Now if someone else used the address to create spam or junk and then you get given the address, you are tarred with the same brush, Phones recover from this quite quickly as they get a different address as they roam around. At home you may need to power off your router for it to get a new address.
