All of this in reply to a 3G network though. I've not yet seen any 3G provider actually provide a non-rfc1918 internal IP which is not NATed to the Internet.. Unless you actually pay for that function. Thereby rendering most of this thread moot :)
Every Optus 3G connection I’ve checked (personal mobile phone services) has a public IPv4 address attached (albeit dynamic). Really handy actually, as I do like to SSH into my mobile phone from time to time. Though this is probably already common knowledge by now, if you quote ‘GPTEXB3’ to Telstra, they will grant you access to the ‘telstra.extranet’ APN which gives you a public IPv4 address. (Only ever tried it on business connections, but haven’t heard a single failure story yet.)
