    So I called a contact I have at Verizon to inquire about IPv6 for you since I was curious what they do. He told me that Verizon has a somewhat complex layout. Anything 4G LTE or above is IPv6 only for media services (SMS, MMS, VoLTE, etc.). The other APNs are dual stacked with IPv4 behind CGN on an IPv6 core. Below non-CDMA 3G is completely dual stacked and connects to their IPv6 core using embedded addresses. Their CDMA network is IPv4 only but uses their same core network after some magic. Since you sounded like you had a late enough phone, he wondered if maybe you kept swapping SIM cards to new phones instead of upgrading cards as necessary. That or a bug in how their carrier settings interact with Android on Motorola might come into play. He said he'd pass it along for them to look into since it might explain some of what they've seen in their network traffic.

    Interesting. Thanks, from me, and from Verizon, I think.

    No, I got this SIM card new when I got the phone. I presume it's a new card, and not an old stock card, if that makes any difference at all. Ditto with my wife's phone, but she's not on Verizon.
