She just can't access it using the external IP address if she is on her wifi. I've never seen anything like that before. On my own system I can use the external IP address from any browser regardless of connection.
I have some sense that it's probably some ridiculous Apple setting, but I tend to blame Apple for anything stupid by default, particularly if it's not user friendly and seems to want to keep you in the walled garden.

I agree with Chaley. Looping back on ones IP is not usually supported.
Testing WITH the dataplan is one good way if you don't have a neighbor/buddy with their own broadband
on needing to configure the router,
Many folk have just one device that uses the broadband, the computer.
This is becoming less common with many having Smartphones and other Network (WiFi and Wired) devices. When a
call comes in, you need to tell the router "who will handle the port 8080 calls". Each port can only have 1 target. Some routers allow you to also Map the port as well as the target IP . call for port 8083 gets mapped to computer3 port 8080 (the one you would use for internal use)
