I am a website designer, and most of my sites are hosted by a company named InMotionHosting. About 3 months ago, people attempting to access my sites using their phone and the cellular data plan found they were being blocked. If they use WIFI, or any other internet connection they access the sites just fine.
I have worked with my host and they see no issues on their servers. It also does not appear that Verizon is directly at fault. I ran a traceroute from my phone and it appears that some servers between Verizon and InMotionHosting are blocking Verizon cellular data access.
I need this fixed.
To repro this issue, do this.
1. Using your cell phone, connect to a good WIFI source and go to thetravelwriters.net. You should connect with no problems.
2. Turn off your WIFI, and try to connect using the celluar data (4G/3G) system. You will get no response from the server at all. It will eventually time out.
I called Verizon tech support and they won't even try to look at this. I need help. I can't afford to lose this many prospective readers.

We want your readers to access the site without an issue, NathanLake. I konw this is important for exposure and to market to others as well. After looking for the site on my phone I was able to access it using thetravelwriters.com site. This allowed me to access the site. Did you try using the .com address instead of the .net one?

If there is a site with the address thetravelwriters.com, it is not mine. I own thetravelwriters.net and it cannot be accessed via a Verizon cell phone unless connected to wifi.

You’re right, thetravelwriters.com is completely different!
http://www.thetravelwriters.net
Who We Are
Once we were just writers or photographers, but no more. Today we are photojournalists. We are multimedia storytellers. We are the modern day troubadours, bringing words, photos, and video to you from all the places we go and the people we meet. We tell our stories and their stories. We tell stories of adventures you might have had, or will someday have. We seek to inspire and excite. We bring the world to you in case you can’t go to the world.
We encourage you to stop, look, and listen. And as Vyasa said, "If you listen carefully, at the end you'll be someone else."
It works when using a VPN Client. It should work without such tactics.

Your provider is Godaddy, are you saying they’re denying this? Godaddy has the .net TLD listed as described and the .com TLD as domaincontrol.com and when the .com TLD is used your site comes up with the .com TLD. Or is this NOT your site?

The registrar is GoDaddy, but they are not the host. The sites are all hosted by InMotionHosting. I don't know for a fact, but I don't understand how GoDaddy would be involved.

Maybe so, but a trace (w/o VPN) doesn’t support Verizon as the cause.

I know this is old but how did you end up fixing it? No one knows how to help me and the same thing is happening to my website.
