You can use 3G for communication to another device on 3G. You have only to know that the IP address on 3G is NAT'd. You have to make sure that you tell the other device how to deal with the NAT traversal. One way to solve this is having an external server which is able to translate the IP addresses correctly.
Traffic like Voip (over SIP/SDP/RTP) is a little bit more complicated to deal with then pure IP connectivity. -- Roman Baumgaertner Sr. SW Engineer-OSDC ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.
