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
