The call goes to VM. It's just like Edge network on ATT back in the days with original iPhone.
So ... the fact that I usually have some app up & running means I'll miss most calls?
Or, worse, my wife will be using hers and won't answer when I call? well, not by choice?
I'm trying to justify staying with Verizon, and am not seeing much reason to. $850 for the upgrade (halfway thru a 2-year upgrade cycle, and the "free" phone literally went up in smoke) + $370 for upgrading hers, can't get calls if running an app (I can tolerate not making calls from an app, but...not even a "hey, someone's calling you, pause the app" popup? WTF?
), the "share everything" 4GB plan is $150/mo, and having Skype in-hand solves the international calling problem ... vs. tolerable early termination fee, $350x2 for a pair of refurb 5s, and data & voice together ... harumph.
aside from the new markets refarmed for 3g access, aren't the bulk of the t-mobile iphones using edge, which can't do simultaneous voice/data?
They can, but T-Mobile doesn't officially offer the iPhone. So the lawsuit would probably hang on a technicality.
Yes but the commercial says its the only network that you can talk and surf at at the same time on the iphone. It doesnt mention anything about being the only one that offers the iphone that can talk and surf. So technically its a lie because of how it is worded.
I was just curious thats all.
i am sure with the money ATT has they can afford lawyers that can get them off like you said
I haven't used it because I can't haha. But I think that if I did have it, I would never use it.
On second thought, that MIGHT be the only time I would use it while I'm on the phone.
Verizion can now do this but Apple is to blame for the CDMA iPhone not being able to do this. Andriod phones have been about to do this this for the last year or longer. Also LTE iPhone should be able to do this also but for some reason Verizon and Sprint iPhone can't...
I use it a lot.
Subjective matter. Why does it matter to you if a feature that you don't find important is important to others? Use what works for you and let others use what works for them.
If a VZW shopper is easily swayed by preferences that aren't relevant to that shopper then that person gets what that person deserves. It's each person's responsibility to ensure that they're shopping for whatever suits their particular needs/wants best -- not yours or anyone else's.
Be careful with "you" and "I". I don't need this and I'm on Verizon but there are certainly those that do use simultaneous voice and data. It really shouldn't be so difficult for any person to imagine that others have differing needs/wants/priorities/etc.
