There is no femtocell. Just the user's cell phone making calls through
the WiFi interface.

Don't know exactly what it is, but it sounds like it is WiFi calling
through his cell phone. I think T-Mobile went this route instead of
selling femtocells to all their subscribers. Probably a smarter
solution than a femtocell in the long run anyway; at least it's simpler.
Yes, it's double-NAT, but we always put the subscriber's router on the
DMZ, so it's technically NAT without PAT. That configuration usually
solves the NAT traversal issues that we see.

Is this with the Personal CellSpot, or just WiFi calling?
I would speculate WiFi calling uses a VPN and there is a NAT
traversal issue. Is this double NAT (i.e. the customer has a NAT
router behind the SM)?

I can't speak to the femtocell issue (yet), but we just tried a
site with a T-mobile "WiFi calling" feature that still does not
work when the SM is in NAT mode (it does work in bridge mode).
Speculation was that T-mobile's WiFi calling was having the same
packet fragmentation issue that has always plagued femtocells, but
this is apparently not the case.
We only have one subscriber with T-mobile (they have lousy
coverage in this area, so they are not a common cell-phone choice).
What's the best way to figure out what the issue is?

Bill,
That fix was pulled into the PMP100 load line for 13.4.
Can you try it on your PMP100s and let us know if it is
working satisfactory?
Best,

What I'm talking about is the thing that breaks femtocells
when the SM is in NAT mode.
