Does anyone no the date when at&t acctually gets 4G I'm tired of waiting I have a 4G phone but don't get 4G what the heck
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
I doubt it 'cept the corporate AT&T people. They seem to be rolling them out 3-4 cities a year. So who knows. In OKC, it might be 3 months from now or 20 years from now.
The Thrill is not a LTE phone. The Thrill will never get LTE speeds. The 4G for the Thrill is HSPA+. The reason people call it faux G is that its not that much better than 3G. Check the coverage map online, you may already be getting 4G speed (according to att), and not know it. I saw an increase from my captivate to the Thrill, about 50% increase, but not enough to actually notice on a daily basis.
Att announced today their first LTE phones, skyrocket and vivid.

When you got the phone, did you just put the old sim card in from your old phone? That is what the at&t store did when I bought mine and I was not getting very good speeds. Went to the store around the corner from me and they replaced my old sim with one that said '4g' on it and the Rep said something about not getting hspa+ on the older Sims. Not sure about his reasoning, but I do get anywhere between 4-8mb down now. I can never seem to get over 1.08 up speeds though. It acts like there's a cap on it the way it is so consistent.

Just pulled it out and checked it. Plain AT&T sim. The one initially put in here was from my LG eXpo and came from my Incite from 2009. The Rep said that it needed a '4g' sim to actually get the speed. So he put a new one in. Can't complain as it worked.

I think I have the same one, lol. Was just mashing sure it didn't say 4g because they told me it was a 4g chip.

I am unsure as to what this means?
that was one of the things that drew me to this phone over the charge and thunderbolt, it supported VoLTE out of the box
here's a link to engadget: http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/20/verizons-reportedly-trials-volte-services-in-two-cities-eyes-n/
recognize that phone in the picture?
here's one from last Feb: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/09/verizon-successfully-completes-first-volte-call-in-the-world-pl/
Hot dang. I have no clue what that all means, but I am glad it's on meh phone.
Edit: So does this mean that we can soon use tablets to call with bluetooth? That we don't need a radio to call? Hmm? That would seem interesting, and would make Verizon the leader of LTE indeed.
I heard it from my Verizon store.... anyone know when its sposed to happen
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
all verizon has said is that it's supposed to launch nationwide in 2013, was supposed to launch this year. they've been testing it with the Revolution since last February.
It is the first phone you can actually Talk and surf the web at the same time.
VoLTE (Voice over LTE). You have to have 4G and you have to wait till next year. I love Verizon...
Like Kane it was one of the features that drew me to this phone but since Verizon has yet to put 4G in my area, I forgot about this feature. I bought this 4G phone because Verizon said it would be available in my area in October 2011... Here we are almost February 2012... No 4G. Now I am just shooting for before the end of the world in December...
That can't be true because... the revolution is current using 3g voice and text

All the 4g phones on Verizon are able to talk and text. I believe they are talking about making it so your phone calls and text messages will be carried over 4g compared to how Verizon transfers your calls and texts currently. It'll probably lead to your phone calls being much clearer in the future since it will be carried over a better network than it is currently.

Not everyone lives in a 4G area... I live just north of LA and there is no 4G here which is odd as I can toss a rock and hit LA.
I can talk on the phone and tether at the same time, also text and all. For those of you that think VoLTE will be coming to the Revo, remember this phone has reached it's END OF LIFE. Whoever posted those articles the 2nd one was from last February. There are no more updates coming to this phone, there is no ICS until we get cm9. Someone would have to come up with a hack most likely to enable VoLTE on the Revo.

If Big Red is crappy don't go to another CDMA carrier - it is even crappier. Sprint has no coverage in some parts whatsoever.
I had T-Mobile last year and it was way better.

Ymmv with any carrier. I live in Jersey City, NJ. T-Mobile's coverage where I live rivals that of Verizon. (I should know, I have accounts, with both companies and a Rezound in my house) I also have a multi line account with T-Mobile. As far as I'm concerned, the only reason I even haz Verizon is Sparky wanted a Rezound.

I can't say much about the east coast, I live in Hawaii, on a rock in the middle of a huge pond. Service here is varied but all carriers here have equal amounts of coverage, but varies in different places based on who got priority on that tower location. Also, no HSPA+ or LTE here for anyone
TMobile.

How unfortunate
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
this come out a few months back, was the only reason I switched to the Amaze when my mT4G died instead of going somewhere else.
Their investing in bringing LTE and the 1900 AWS band to the network, the 1900 band should be here by the end of the year, therefore encouraging iphone users and other 1900 band compatible devices, such as just about every international device out there and LTE, well that is pretty obvious why.
I logged in online yesterday and a pop up about this came up. So retarded.

Maybe some people didn't know. You know, the ones that don't listen to the news, read any newspapers, blogs, anything.. I know t-mobile subs use more data than every other carrier in the states but apparently its cause we're watching netflix and hulu on our smartphones. lmao
It's new because they're trying to reassure customers that they're working on getting they're service to it's peak, better signal, faster data speeds and also by implementing the 1900 band enabling customers who want the iPhone to be able to use it and get 3G/HSPA speeds with data, after all they lost a lot of customers when they slacked off during the merger period. They're trying to win those back and insure that they keep all others that are currently still with them.

Na, think they're building new towers for that, adding LTE infrastructure to the current network as well, that new band is to enable other devices such as international and devices from networks like AT&T to work on their 3G/HSPA and soon LTE network, hence no more 2G only on iPhones anymore.

Headline is grossly misleading. It's not the 2M subscriber drop-off that caused the costs-- many of them were on the old iDEN network and essentially marginal anyway. It's the cost of safely shutting down and dismantling iDEN that was essentially one of many large, one-time costs Sprint is incurring as it modernizes its network.

I feel your sentiments and now that all carriers are pretty much getting the same devices, there is really no advantage to sticking to one carrier. And also not to mention the the promos for new subscribers are really good.
