    Hi guys. I need help as I know what I want to do is possible in theory. Essentially I am building an application that needs to communicate between 2 phones. We want this communication to be done via 3g. We will have a group of phones. And I want phones to be able to send UDP packets to each other over 3g. This is trivial over wifi but with 3g I don't know how to get around the whole NAT thing. If all the phones are on the same network will I be allowed to send UDP packets over 3g?

    I'd use NodeJS for this. Do everything over either port 80 or port 443. Some operators block certain ports and it's a real headache to find out which ports are open on which networks.
