Used to be you couldn't use voice and data at the same time on VZW unless you were connected to WiFi. Someone told me that with 4G you can do both now. Fact or fiction?

Most 4g android phones if not all can. IPhone 5 cannot due to apple not taking extra effort to do the antenna right. Galaxy s3 and some HTC phones can also do simultaneous voice and data while on 3g too

Yea u can surf the internet and talk on the phone at the same time with 4g lte....all 4g android phones through vzw can do it #fact
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
the old iphone I thought used to be able to? Now they cant hahaha jokes on them. But than again with the iphone almost everyone with one has data caps so thats why you see all apple users on wifi all the time. Not meeeee unlimited 4g wooot.
Definitely can. Do it all the time on my GS3.
*sent from a Galaxy not so far away...*
Not trying to sound like a jerk. But I see in you SIG that you have the S3. Why didn't you just try it out?
I know when I go to get new phones I try to test that feature out before anything else. Feathering to my tablet so that I can stream music and being able to receive a phone call is very convenient. And a must have. Any way, to answer your question like others have. 3G and 4G. Fact.

Nope you don't have to unlock. Simple Mobile uses Tmobile's network.

Yup. I believe if yu bring it to a simple mobile retailer they'll set everything up for yu...Apn mms and data. All dat good stuff.

Nope...once you go to SM you are free of T-Mo. However, if you use Wifi calling or other T-Mo branded items you will not be able to use them on SM.
I did have a data loss last week with Simple here in Sacramento. They had tower issues. But nothing else of consequence.
One issue that I have had. On virtually every ROM is editing the APN. YOu can usually edit it once, but when you go back in often the APN's do not show up. Food for thought.
Lol. Hmm thank God. I'm going to get sm tomorrow. Thank you very much.

Actually you can and do get 4g depending on where you are located. I am in Sacramento and get 4g speeds on SM.
Your plan also has to do with speeds. If yo are on the $40.00 plan yes, you are restricted to 3g. If you pay $60.00 then you get 4G.
And no you do not have to unlock for SM.
They do offer a $60/month plan that has 4G. As usual the giant word plastered all over their website and retailers is "unlimited" - which, as we all know, is a load of crap. Yes it's "unlimited internet" - however you get 1gig at 4G - then the rest of the month you're throttled to a whopping 56k (so useless you can't even stream a song with it).
As for the disappearing APN problem - if you run the CM7 ROM, and you're APN's are not in there - all you have to do is pull the battery out, restart the phone, and the APN's are back in. Also as pointed out the specialized apps for t-mobile like the wifi calling app won't work.
Anyway - all that being said - I've been on Simple with my G2X for 3 months and it works quite well for me. Only wish they offered more data in the plans - so I try to stay connected to a wifi hotspot as much as possible.
I thought there flyer says 2gigs of data hahaha on the 60 dollar
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Yes you do have to be unlocked on simple mobile. You cannot use a simple mobile sim in a locked phone. You also get 2gigs of data on the $60 plan and 4g if available in your area.

I have an infuse on a family plan. one of the person on my line can do upgrade right now but they have an iPhone4. i was wondering can they do their upgrade and once they get the phone can i just switch my Sim over to that phone and use it or would that be a problem?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
I don't see a problem in doing so. As long as you have the correct plan to use the phone. I always switch phones all the time.

Oh ok because i don't want them to deactivate that person sim card because i did the upgrade already to an galaxy s2.

O dear they are going to change the NAME of the data feature you are on, that's right the name, not the feature, price, or your contract, JUST THE NAME!!! I would call and cancel if I were you....

When I first got my infuse about 3 months ago they sent me the same message and have continued to send them once or twice a month. I just ignore them and continue to pull down 6-10mbps here in Chicago

They make adapters.
EDIT: People moving from iPhone 4s(plural, not 4S.) usually keep them.and either are given or buy an adapter.

Thanks guys...I talked to a local Rep who said if I didn't change then some of my features wouldn't work. I haven't experienced that using my iphone sim card but if they change my plan to 4g would that affect my iphone the other way? I mean features not working.
I know there is no price change im just concerned about everything working right
I have to say I was having real trouble getting good speeds till I switched. I don't know if I was imagining it or if it was just coincidence, but i switched from an iphone, could only pull 1mb down and 250kb up. Got that text, switched it(its only 5 dollars more I believe) and started pulling down 5-6 mb.

My fiance pays 45 bucks a month for family talk through her walmart employer discount. My question is since it is tmobile can I use my g2x on it? And if so can I use my 4g? Would I have to unlock it? I just don't like how my tmobile prepaid only gets 100mb of data in my price range.
I do. I have the 5g plan. My wife has the 2g plan. We got seperate plans cause I wireless tether. We use the G2x. So yeah, you can.

I think I'm going with simple mobile, they use hspa, and so doesn't the g2x, but it days I can only get 2g and 3g with my phone??
The G2x does too. I'm on it now. The G2x doesn't do 3g. It has g,2g or 4g. But 4g is really 3.5

You can change you settings to only use hspa.

Unless you change the setting under wireless networks...mobile network...network mode... You can change it there. I always change mine to auto when I travel. That way it will chose the strongest signal.

This is an lg g2x using either family talk or simple mobile, and able to use a 4g signal?
Yes but to use Simple mobile, you have to be network unlocked. Which you would get that from TMO customer care. They will e-mail it to you.

If you have 4g in your area, you can get it. Go under the settings I posted and swith to only wcdma. If you have 4g near you, it will display it on status bar at top.

The G2x will not display a 3G status signal. It will show a 4G, 2G, G.
Good luck with your droid. I'm on the $70 plan...5g data, unlimited talk and txt. So I know it will work.

Strange thing is its displaying 4g now, but its slow as hell. But I can take it as is now on my Tmobile service and switch the box to wcdma only? And that'll work?
Yes if there is 4G. That setting will stay on that signal til you change it.

Hi, I flashed my mom's galaxy s3 to page plus but only 1x data. I have my own galaxy s3 on contact and I was wondering can I use it as the donor and still use it as my phone. Or would it be illegal cloning. I'd like to know as fast as possible. Both phones are verizon.

Ok, I don't think you would be able to. I would get another device to do it. I used the i500.
From what I understand the secret keys are very specific to the device and not general
