Wanted to update this to say that on the same server a standard header redirect in PHP works fine over AT&T data, while the PayPal redirect from event organiser still doesn’t work when using AT&T data.
Has anyone run into this or even just a similar issue? At a loss for where to go from here. Thanks for any input.

The plugin uses wp_redirect() – itself just a wrapper function for a standard header, so I don’t see why this would happen (even less so why only on one service provider). Unfortunately I don’t have an AT&T account to test with, though it has been tested on a non-wifi connection.
Thanks for the reply. It’s definitely strange, and I’d guess it’s not really a “problem” with the event organiser plugin specifically. As I mentioned, we’ve had a similar issue with another plugin, but because it’s affecting public users on one of our sites with this plugin, it’s become an issue (multiple public users on AT&T data have reported back the same problem).
It seemed like something that may have come up for other users before with this plugin so I thought I’d try here. I also posted in the general wordpress support forum regarding the issue. For now we’re probably going to have to just add a mobile targeted message instructing AT&T users to connect to Wifi.
We determined that the issue here related to the WP All In One Security Plugin. Disabling the “Block Fake Googlebots” in “Firewall->Internet Bots” and the “Forbid Proxy Server Comments” setting in “Firewall->Additional Firewall Settings” in the All in One Security settings resolved this issue. Still a bit strange and I’ve updated a post on that plugin’s forum with all of this information. Must’ve been related to what AT&T sends in its header fields since it works fine elsewhere.
