Will Mlat work? Well that does depend on how your mobile provider allocates IP addresses. If you get a unique WAN IP address then you should be OK to do your own manual Mlats, but if you get a NAT generated IP address i.e shared with others over a single WAN, then your 3G dongle won't get the replies to your Mlat requests as the real "router" at your ISP has not been configured (you can't do that anyway as you can't access it) to handle incoming packets from your Mlat requests so it won't work.

There was some discussion about whether the mobile operators have all now changed to a shared system, as the main reason for me picking 3 was that they gave me a single WAN address that enabled me to use Mlat whilst mobile. Now that the PP system (in my area at least) is so robust and auto Mlat's appear, there isn't (for me anyway) the need to carry out manual Mlat's so I actually don't know if that would work with my 3 set-up. Maybe I need to check that tomorrow and report back.

As far as I am aware (happy to be corrected here) you don't need both a static IP address (WAN IP address) and use port forwarding. If your ISP gives you a WAN IP address then there is nothing to forward, as any data can only be sent to the one attached device. If however you don't get a WAN IP address you just get a LAN address on a shared WAN address, then you will need something that can port forward, e.g. the E585 mentioned above.
