Yes that's the case for any "normal" account. In Australia there
is/was at least one reseller offering mobile broadband accounts
with a fixed IPv4 address, on either the Telstra or Optus networks.
You paid for it of course, but it wasn't big $$$.

Odds are that the OP isn't in Australia, so I won't bother trying to
dig up the link. But I'm guessing that there would be similar
options in their country if they looked hard enough. Mobile
broadband is now used quite a bit in industry for this sort of
thing.
