authentic said:
I have installed iOS 6 on my iPhone 4S, it is really awesome due to 3D maps, and passbook. I'm gonna use them everyday. Too bad I am not able to speak, that means siri is useless to me. :D

Is there anyone plan to get i5 on Sept 21st?

I upgraded to iOS 6.0 for my iphone 4. Nice. I doubt I have Siri cuz it applies to 4s and 5.

I will upgrade to iphone 5 later on this year.

I went to Verizon store and asked them to change from mobile share to data/text only plan so they couldn't change until I get iPhone 5 in my hand. They will glad to change to data/text only.

Verizon has data/text only plan for $54.99 per month and the data capped at 2 GB.

iPhone 4S - incorrect, it is actually iPhone 4 and the video was year ago.

The call representative made mistake and Verizon already allow data only plan for all smartphones, even iPhone too. There are other deaf people called them with different representative so they said that they can have data only plan for iPhone. They commented one guy with Hollister about representative was made mistake but he deleted any comments. I know that he rather to believe someone who lying or make mistake. I already asked manager at Verizon store last week and they do have data only plan for iPhone.

Ugh... my area does not have LTE yet. I emailed to Sprint customer service and asked them if iPhone 5 can work with 4G WiMAX. And they said "iPhone can't work with 4G WiMAX." Why bother buying iPhone 5 when there's no LTE in my area and stuck with 3G for a while? :roll:

It has been rumored for months, but now this column hears it directly from Sprint: 4G LTE is coming to Los Angeles in the next couple of months. It is also coming to Boston, Charlotte, Indianapolis, Memphis, Miami, Nashville, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia and Washington D.C.

You know what that means? Testing should begin any day now and if you have a 4G LTE capable phone (hello, Samsung Galaxy S3), you can turn on your 4G radio and let it shine. Remember, the testing phase is different from the initial launch, so don't get angry at Sprint for inconsistent speeds, lack of coverage, etc. We will let you know when the official 4G LTE launch date is when we find out.

Sprint's 4G LTE network differs from that of other networks in that they allow unlimited data. That means you can watch all your favorite episodes of Family Guy and Desperate Housewives on Hulu Plus in HD quality and not get charged extra for running over a certain data limit. You can also send unlimited multimedia messages to all your family and friends.

This column is wondering how Sprint is doing this without losing money. But hey, this is a consumer victory. Please remember to email this column when you first discover a 4G LTE signal in Los Angeles.

JMH, here's answer.

Since the iPhone 5 will have 4G LTE coverage and I don't currently have it in my area (Los Angeles, CA 90020 or 90066) will the phone still provide 4G WiMax signal or switch to a 3G signal?

No the iphone5 does not support wimax network (signal) so you will be using the 3g network until 4g lte network arrives in your area.

Sprint Community: iPhone 5 4G LTE Coverage
 
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I wanted iPhone 5 plan with Premium (which cost $10 extra for 4G) and I would be stuck with 3G till LTE start to service. I'm not going to pay $10 per month for that.

So, I guess I will have to wait till March where my contract ends. Then I will see.

Same happened back to 2008 year, since World's first HTC Evo 4G device released due to 4G network towers launched late.
 
I will remain with AT&T due to GSM and because it works well with PR coverage, there is no Verizon converge in PR. I visit PR from time to time.

He weren't aware of it until I point at the website on his website few years ago (I think a year ago).

It's unfortunately, he was so behind when I ALREADY post in summer 2009 on my weblog. (look at the bottom for source on deaf plan)

It mean, you would have more than 8 hours of battery on 3G than rather have 4G (LTE). Why complain? Unless you want to be slut videophone person, I understand.

Don't matter. ONE CALL didn't mean call service was right. I already explained to Samuel that he should visit to Verizon dealer. We got iPhone from Verizon with Deaf Plan without a problem as iPhone 4 first release on Verizon networking. Plus I showed the link to him.

Verizon still have Deaf Plan for around five years. Never will take it down so far.


Same idea Sprint dealer from the store never heard of Deaf Plan in the past so you have go to Sprint Relay for Deaf plan. There is no perfect.
