I observed similar problem with L2TP VPN and for me it looks that they are 
blocking incoming/returning UDP traffic in public APN.
On the server side I see both incoming and outgoing traffic but device 
complains that it's unable to connect. If I switch to local wireless network 
then everthing works fine. I suspect that's because they are selling 
special(money) APNs.
