[Atma]

1. To configure the phone for IPv6, from the Android home screen:
   1. Touch the left most menu key in the bottom panel, tap Settings
   2. Select Wireless & networks
   3. Select Mobile networks
   4. Select Access Point Names
   5. Touch the left most menu key in the bottom panel, tap New APN
   6. Set the following fields
   • Name = v6
   • APN = epc.tmobile.com
   • APN protocol = IPv6
   • APN type = default
   • Touch the left most menu key in the bottom panel, tap save
   • Tap the "go back" arrow from the bottom keys, select the new "v6" APN as so that it has the blue ball
   • You may need to reboot your phone.
   • Here are some screenshots of how the mobile network APN should look
2. You can validate IPv6 access my going to ip6.me which will display your IPv6 address. There is a more detailed IPv6 test at Test your IPv6.
3. To remove these settings and go back to IPv4 default, from the Access Point Names menu, select the left most key, and tap Restore to default

I don't know what the "APN type = default" default is. I just chose internet + mms. Reboot your phone after setting it up and it should work.

I take it that it won't be an OTA update?

Not that I know of. At least not right now. IPv6 will eventually take over IPv4 but its still in transition. I assume one day our phones will come setup with IPv6.
