Making the phone the default gateway would do it.  The problem is
I'm not sure if the 3G will let you do this.  A standard network, sure
you can often send packets with the "wrong" IP address as the source but
I'm not sure 3G ones will let you do this.

As far as the other network is concerned, you're spoofing the source
address and a lot of places filter that.
