However, I am also wondering if:
- Having the unrestricted APN does not cause battery depletion for example on phones? We know Chinese IPs love to scan random IP addresses all over the world, and that's obviously going to be some sort of 'wake-up' to the phone (whether it rejects the connection or not)
- I get charged for incoming traffic? In the above example, would I be footing the bill for the unsolicited Chinese port scans?
