4g is great around Chicago. Oak Brook should be covered without an issue. 3g speeds are hit or miss depending on congestion. Signal is great but speeds can lag.

if you didn't catch there is also a complain topic in this forum about the Skyrocket

The lines we have been complaining about are not present on the original sgs 2 or the infuse. I have only found them on the 4.5" variants though I have not checked the phones you have listed.
This reminds me tho...I need to upload the pics LOL
as requested

I think it works on LTE 1700 also but not HSPA+ 1700, am I right? I tried putting in a T-Mobile SIM card it (unlocked) won't even auto search for the signal. Had to manually search, found T-Mobile, and it was put on EDGE...

Just unlocked my phone

I just unlocked my phone for Verizon, bought a Verizon Sim card fir $5 on Ebay and used it to unlock my phone

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA

for a long time i kept hearing people say you cant use the same phone on verizon and att networks, because verizon uses cdma and att uses gsm, well i just exactly that, the only thing stopping me for being able to use verizons network is the fact i dont have a plan with them, other than that i receive signal and everything

More info plz

The Infuse will not work on verizon network!!! You may have bars but if that sim was activated the phone will not work.

Yeah, but only for LTE because that technology uses gsm. The infuse will not work on verizon no matter how you attempt to unlock it or which SIM you put in it. Walk into your nearest verizon retailer and they will laugh you out the door.
All verizon phones must support cdma, even the LTE phones that have a SIM still have cdma support. The infuse has neither LTE or cdma.

It doesn't matter if it is new. It still will never work.

Thats just lte sim; even if your phone lte, and if frequencys wore the same and if you got verizon to take imie, lte is data only so it be a waste of your time

not completely, i had already planned that if i got it work and everything i'd use wifi calling and texting anyways, though it may seem pointless, this is just me trying to make something work that i've been told wouldnt my whole life, so yes it all is pretty pointless to everyone but myself

So even with an unlocked phone if I went to the USA on vacation what type of sim card should i get going to NH in July for NASCAR

No 4g in Omaha NE...

Does anyone know when there will be 4g towers for Verizon in Omaha? Super tired of buying 4g devices and scooting along at what seems like a snails pace nowadays on 3g.

There is 4G LTE all over Omaha. I was using it just the other day. Look at the coverage map on Verizon's site.

Theoretically there's supposed to be 4g coverage wherever Verizon has 3g currently by the end of 2013. Dunno if that was just the rep spring his mouth off or if its true. I'm not holding my breath tho.

Well that's terribly annoying. Waiting another year+ before I get to actually use my devices to full potential... Awesome!

What??
I was in Omaha all summer and I had it almost everywhere.
Great speeds at my work too
Edit: almost everywhere I went at least...

XLTE Experience?

Has anybody been able to experience the "double the speed" of Verizon's new network strategy?

,,,,,They can't even get 1X and 3G right here on Staten Island............
That being said, I've felt some improvement in some area's throughout this whole AWS buildout
But it's not NEARLY enough.....
God help them if this is how VoLTE is gonna go

I am sure that is the new XLTE. It's been in parts of Chicago, New York and LA on the Droids since the November OTA update, when the AWS bands were activated with a radio firmware update. 50/25 is much better than most people see on the old 700 Mhz LTE.

anyone know when upstate SC is gonna get xLTE? as a side-note when Seneca/Clemson got 4G LTE, (literally the day of) I was getting 24-28 mps down according to speed test. Now It is half of that (traffic). It was literally ridiculous how blazing fast it was.
