Whoops.  Memory failure here.

They rolled it out *before* IPv6 day this year, as early as May 24 and
possibly before.[0]  At the time that they rolled it out, the only
phones that could use it were the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus S, though I
think all new phones coming out today support it.

Apparently, I should be able to go "IPv6-only" on the phone, as they
claim to have NAT64 and DNS64 running.  I just tested this, and it did
in fact work.  The funny thing?  I don't really think I care about NAT64
in this case... save for the first three months I had an Android
smartphone (when I accidentally somehow added "VPN support" to my
account, which is nothing more than a $5/mo charge for a public IPv4
address, instead of an RFC 1918 address) I've always been NAT'd on the
cell phone network.

More interesting, I just tried to ping my phone from my desktop, and I
got this:

mbt at aloe ~ $ ping6 -c4 <<ADDRESS>>
connect: Network is unreachable

So I went to my local router to try again:

mbt at spicerack:~$ ping6 -c4 <<ADDRESS>>
PING <<ADDRESS>>(<<ADDRESS>>) 56 data bytes
