What about the potential for a limitation here (for the original poster)
with regard to the network operators themselves? For example, T-Mobile is
supposed to be IPv6 ready throughout their entire network. However, does
such IPv6 readiness also generally apply to the APNs of their MVNOs
(subproviders, e.g., Net10, Ting, Simple Mobile)? 

If not, then even if the modem and the "parent" network owner supports IPv6,
using an APN for a MVNO might restrict the connection to IPv4 only.
