It is quite possible that 10.183.185.90 is a DNS address supplied by your 3G provider.

10.x is the address that ISP assigned you for their internal network, while 123.61.154.88 is your real public ip.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network

10.x.x.x addresses, like the one you have, are usually used in large private networks (Like universities) .  Most small (home) networks use 192.x.x.x.  Many medium size business use 172.x.x.x.

10.x.x.x is finding increased use where an entire community are a private network which share a common gateway.  This is a bad trend in that no one in the entire community can run a rever that is available on the public internet.
