This morning I got this text from AT&T about needing a 4G data plan. I came from an iPhone 4 and bought an Inspire 4G on ebay and just used the same SIM. Does anyone have any suggestions what I should do? I have an unlimited data plan so I don't wanna lose it.

You need to get a 4G sim card from the AT&T store
Sim card doesn't matter
Sent via the power of a unicorn's horn.
@poetofsound,
All you have to do is call AT&T and tell them to switch your plan to a 4G plan. It's the same price as 3G ($15 for 200MB, $25 for 2GB). If you've currently got the iPhone unlimited plan, then you will be grandfathered into the unlimited 4G plan.
is it possible to do that without changing my plan up and would I still be able to switch between iphone and inspire?

Yes, you can just keep the same plan you have now. It's the same plan data-wise and speed-wise; AT&T merely has separate 3G/4G plans in their system, and they've detected that you're using the Inspire instead of an iPhone. No need to change sims or anything, it's merely a technicality in their system.
Alright thanks for the info! I live right down the street from the AT&T store so I'll just go there.
I had a similar problem with ATT that they told me my unlimited plan would not work with the Inspire 4G. I called on the phone and spoke with a manager and she said it would be okay. So, if they keep telling you that you can't do it, just keep at them and they will eventually give in.
I just got a new inspire from ATT.
When I activated the phone, it gave me the 3g plan. I had to call to get it switched to 4g. Is there really any difference in sim card and/or plans other than semantics?

The plans which ATT claim are 4G are capped plans. You need the Smartphones Personal plan. If you had it on 3G you can get grandfathered in. I'm using a 3G sim in a rural area with just one 3G tower and getting 5mbps down with 1mbps up. The salesman at the shack had to call ATT because the plan is not listed, but I was able to keep it. As long as you are within 30 days of signing the contract you have the right to make them give you your unlimited data back.
Sent from my Inspire using the dark side.
The only reason they tell you that you have to be on the '4G' plan is so they can track usage, and the only reason for the '4G' sim is because that sim is LTE ready- so whenever ATT launches LTE, some phones will be good to go.
The '4G' plan is a load. Currently, ATT's '4G' networks is HSPA+... which is just the true potential of 3G, but not quite real 4G... REAL 4G will not be available on ATT till ATT launches LTE sometime next year...
I read the title to this thread
and had hope that they chose you to text that there really is an LTE chipset in the Inspire....oh never mind

Haha! Nice! Sorry for the confusion If I do I'll contact you first
When I switched from an iphone to inspire, they also need to change your voicemail configuration. apparently it wasn't all part of a single process for the conversion. what ended up happening was they did not change my voicemail over and I was unable to access the voicemail system from my inspire.
Have you check out Youview. Great voicemail for Inspire!
AT&T is a bunch of shady bastids when it comes to data plans, they want to charge you for using their under-performing network so they can not upgrade it some more. But if you keep after them they'll switch you to an unlimited 4G plan, grandfathering crosses over.

I, like many other switched my i777 to Skyrocket. During that process, I kept the SIM card that came with my i777. But I'm reading somewhere that to get on the LTE network I will need a LTE SIM? Can someone, that got a new SIM while purchasing the Skyrocket, or someone already using the LTE network pop open the back cover, and compare it to the picture below? I want to be ready as soon as the LTE comes alive in my area, Los Angeles.

Edit:
I found a article online that confirms that this design is the LTE SIM card.
http://gadgetsteria.com/2010/10/21/lte-sim-cards-coming-to-att/
I have a different SIM card than the one you have in the picture. It's the same basic graphic, but mine is green and had LTE written on the outside surrounding area before they snapped off the sim card.
I'd also call AT&T to get an LTE data plan, they are the same price. I think by getting the LTE data plan you also get access to visual voicemail on the phone.
While I don't have an LTE plan just yet, I did get an LTE Sim as suggested if I plan on getting it her in Canada

It's not so much the SIM as it is the location of the customer data. Read up on LTE Subscriber Profile....
As I and others have confirmed...your old sim will connect to lte currently. Recently a few reps have claimed that as of 11-18 that will not be the case. Any LTe phone with an old sim will not connect at all.

Hi all, what is the final verdict as I have a vivid that is LTE capable but a sim that is unlimited but is from my old galaxy s2 so it is not officially a LTE sim...will the old sim pick up the LTE service?

The first thing that you have to do, is contact your carrier & tell them to change your data to LTE! If you don't.. You could have ALL the LTE hardware on the planet... You still won't have LTE!

Thanks very much for the reply...now since I am already paying for an unlimited data plan I hope they just swap the sim card for me as I have a corp account so I cannot increase the cost, but I assume the carrier wants to offload as many users to the LTE system to take pressure off the HSPA+ system and I am already on the highest cost unlimited plan....
The cost for rogers lte vs non lte is the same.. Don't know about your plan, but I imagine that it would be the same.

I'm confused about how I access the LTE network.
I'm on Rogers in North Vancouver. I'm using Sky ICS 6.75 stock. I haven't installed any special radios/modems.
I should have an LTE plan (was to take effect 15Apr). I have my Network Mode set to GSM/HSPA/LTE (auto mode). And I have my Access Point set to ltemobile.apn. I've gone in to *#2263# and set LTE Band preference to "LTE ALL" then back to Automatic.
After all that, how do I tell if I'm on LTE? The network graphic shows 4G but it did before I moved to LTE as well.
When I do speedtests, I don't get any better speeds than when I'm not on LTE.

Seems like you're in an area that doesn't yet have LTE..
Get speedtest from play store.

You should see an lte icon beside the 4g.

Ah, I see now what my mistake was. It was in believing the agent in late March who said she moved me to an LTE plan. I called back today, I wasn't on an LTE plan, but the agent did some magic and now, apparently, I am. We'll see in a bit.
They shouldn't have to change your plan.... You already have the hardware, it's just a matter of being in an LTE area to receive the signal.
before u go any further, please tell me u already have an LTE sim card with rogers, released in the last 6 months. Without that LTE won't work no matter what
Just got my phone less than 2 hours ago. LTE worked right out of the box.
They had to give me a new LTE SIM card though. I'm guessing you didn't get one?
They didn't have to change anything with my plan though, idk why they would tell you that.

Well .. that turned out to be my second problem. I was sure I had an LTE SIM card when I first got the phone 5 months ago. I remember discussing it with the agent. Turns out I didn't. I have it now and I get LTE - sometimes. It seems to come and go but at least I know it's out there now.

Wow - is that right? And they tried to sell me the LTE version of my plan for $15 more a month! They eventually found the same plan for the same price. I wonder what they're doing.

They try to get you to buy a plan with more gb's to get more money out of you. You don't need to do that though.
Going to sprint I's the worst move i ever made ,but TMobile forced me to. TMobile 2g is atleast three times faster than sprint 3g speeds. I sold my sensation and miss it dearly as well as the fast internet i took for granted. Just wanted to share my experience with you all if you had thoughts of going to sprint. Its unlimited plan is the only one for a reason. I been throttled by TMobile and its faster than sprint 3g . Here's some speed test i did i called customer service factory reset phone .I did this test several times before i factory reset it still the same slowness. Htc evo 4g lte is the phone i have.

How far is your local Sprint store? If you can test out the phones there and see how fast the phones are there and then test the speed on your phone while in the store and compare if you get the same connection. If not, you can tell at that point that it's the phone and not the service. However, if the phone connects at the same speeds, then its the service.
his area is probably not covered

I agree sprint does suck, and I made the same mistake a while back before buying my sensation. I had the Epic 4g on sprint when it first came out, their 4g and 3g was wicked fast compared to T-Mobile(at least to me in my location.) I quickly started getting tired of their service and over billing shenanigans. Long story I came back crawling to T-Mobile! and I suggest you do too. Now a word of advise. Look up the user qbking77 on these forums, he has tons of videos that might help you out(he's a sprint guy also.) Good guy btw.
Aaron from PhoneDog actually has the same issues and he's in Charlotte. He's also said that he's spoken with people in other cities all across the nation and many suffer the same issue.

FYI if you are going to take this advice ake sure to turn the WiFi off on the in store device. The working display models are usually using WiFi for data. It is yet another one of those sort of underhanded sales tactics. I mean most people just see the device pulling up websitse and videos on youtube fast and say"look how fast the internet is" with out ever noticing that the WiFi is on. Especially first time smartphone costumers.
Afaik, sprint use a wimax technology and tmobile use hspa... I read somewhere that hspa is better than wimax... This is the heirarchy looks like from what i read: first is lte, second is hspa, and last is wimax... I might be wrong though... I can try to google it...
Edit: or it might just be the coverage... Ever wonder why sprint dont advertise base on their coverage ... They simply rely on their unlimited campaign ads...

Those suck. Here are my sprint speeds on my evo 3d. These are a mix of 4g WiMAX and 3g. When lte gets rolled out here it will even out. I'm in Austin,tx and san Antonio is seeing 17-20 MPs download on lte

I live in Rockford illinois no wimax or lte just 3g i checked my friend epic 4g my girlfriend epic touch , another friend evo shift and we all get slow speeds. Maybe it's my area but when i had TMobile i made fun of all my friend sprint network speeds so i guess this is karma. The sprint store is in the strip mall behind my house and there's a tower by my house i get full bars but its just slow. Factory resetted my phone . Played with all settings from cdma only to cdma hdr to cdma / lte same speeds i wouldn't complain but i got friends that got prepaid phones from cricket that run faster on 3g im talking about low end Android phones smh . I just wanna watch one minute YouTube videos without having to wait 10 minutes. Download games like angry birds in less than 15 minutes im not always around wifi. Don't leave TMobile if i can work something out with them i will return and get another sensation. I love the evo 4g lte alot but what's the point of having a Corvette with no engine i can go no where.

So,
I've read with android v4.1.2, this phone is factory unlocked. If I cancel my contract with verizon, can i switch directly over to Straight Talk (on AT&T network)? Is there something more I need to do besides maybe a factory restore? I would appreciate any help or if this topic has been shared already and i have over-looked it, please point me in the right direction.
Thank you.
You'll have to have it flashed to ST. PM Viper32. I'm gonna get him to do mine when this month is up.

As far as I've heard, the data connection is EDGE only without 3G or 4G. Is this correct?

My honest opinion? With these speeds, you'd be hard pressed to use that much data. I can't speak on ST policy or know why they'd boot you. Seems a bit ridiculous. Unless you go over your plan?

I used to be a Straight Talk customer with my HTC One X. I left them due to the terrible service, and not having the same reception and priority as AT&T, even though I had an AT&T SIM in it. You be warned and dropped if you use over 2Gb of data. You can be warned and dropped, if you use streaming video (youtube etc...)
Their plans simply arent designed for that. And you cant blame them.... as youre only paying $45/month here in the U.S. If you want more data. If you want more data without limits on how you use it (streaming video etc...) then you need a bigger plan from a different carrier. You cant expect it all, for $45/month.
Also, I dont think any company like straight talk, will give you 4G. They are piggybacking off of the towers of big carriers.... those carriers dont want you clogging up their 4G network through Straight Talk (or any other) for only $45/month

I have an unlocked Motorola Atrix HD (AT&T) Ive been using on ST for close to a year. At first, I only had "fake 4g" aka hspa+ which isnt terrible. My speeds were between 4-6 mbps.
The day I heard att was allowing lte on st I bought a new lte compatible sim from st for $7. I threw it in my phone, updated my apns and have been running lte ever since. Speeds are between 8 - 16 mbps now.
Only issue is sometimes ppl dont get my texts. Its really random so it hasnt been enough of an issue for me to change anything. I probably just need to tweak my apn but its fine for now.
As for streaming, I stream music quite a bit, youtube any time I want, and even netflix a time or two. Never had an issue. Now I also use less than 2gigs a month. For whatever all thats worth
I currently have a Nexus 5 bought from the Google Play Store. I am using it on the Sprint Network (Which I do not have LTE in my area) and I am tired of waiting. My contract is up in Jan. I am wondering how the service is through straight talk? Both T-Mo and AT&T have LTE in my area so I guess it doesn't matter what SIM card I use from Straight Talk. (I am leaning more towards AT&T) speed tests have shown it to be the faster of the 2. Is Straight a nation wide coverage, or will I have roaming when I leave my city while traveling? The $45 for Unlimited price is why I am asking.
I am currently using my nexus 5 on Straighttalk (ATT sim). I absolutely love it. For my area, it has almost as good of coverage as verizon, and the LTE is on average 4x-7x as fast. My average on verizon was about 4mbps. I am averaging 18-30mbps on ATTs network. I don't know if it was my old phone making verizon so slow here or what. it was an OG droid razr maxx.
Talk, sms, mms, LTE, etc all work great. Just remember, data isn't *really* unlimited on straight talk. I guess actually it is, but after you use 2.5gb, they throttle you way down. Super slow. I am going to used it for a few months, if i end up going over the 2.5gbs much, i am considering trying T mobiles 70 dollar truly unlimited data plan.
Good luck and enjoy your nexus :good:
PS, here is a speed test done on LTE about 5 minutes ago.

How is the Coverage (Not Data) any Dropped Calls? I travel a lot so will I be "roaming" if I leave my "home" city?
Straight talk works a little different than other carriers, it never shows you as "roaming", however you can "roam" in some areas, but not as many as if you had went with ATT or tmobile directly.
But hey, that's the beauty of non contract, if the coverage doesn't work for you, you are not bound by a contract.
For my area, i have experienced 0 dropped calls, i did have 1 spot, 1 time, 1 day that a call *almost* dropped, but it recovered. I have not experienced that again, even in the same spot that the first one almost dropped. Call quality has been as good, or better than verizon(that is compared to my old phone, so that's not apples to apples).
I switched from sprint after 10 years and I have no regrets. My service is superb. You can always buy a sim card and try it out with a random phone number. Just be aware that if you decide to port your sprint number later you will need a new sim.
I'm using an AT&T sim btw.

I too switched from Sprint to Straight talk, I honestly could not be happier. I ALWAYS have 4g whether it be HSPA+ from 2-8mbps or LTE from 13-30mbps. 0 dropped calls and no issues with anything else. Sometimes MMS takes awhile to get working but I've gotten good APN settings so it takes care of that.
