I know the service/device uses VPN if you are using "wifi assist" to connect to an open WAP -- it automatically tunnels the traffic so it can't be read by nearby snoopers. Perhaps they employ a similar technology or are using something like PPP to take all of the traffic back to one (or many) "access servers" before sending it off to the Internet. I have no experience whatsoever in cellular network operations, but I know many providers employ similar methodologies to assist in meeting their CALEA requirements.

Accessing, or attempting to access?
Were you using a local SIM card, or roaming w/data? What about WiFi?
