Gsm and simultaneous voice and data for the win!
My Verizon phone does just fine browsing the web and talking at the same time? Also has a GSM radio in it when I travel out of the country. What's the big deal?

Try to use your xlte indoors and see what happens
Can't talk and browse at the same time using a Verizon iPhone when not on WiFi (and using regular cellular calling and not some VoIP/Skype type of calling).My Verizon phone does just fine browsing the web and talking at the same time?

The whole Bay Area is on the list as I recall.that PDF is currently being "not found" for me, but I hope this includes Berkeley/the east Bay Area because I have been getting abysmal speeds - although I think it has something to do with the specific location of where I live, which is a dense neighborhood just south of the UC campus
WOAH MY AREAS GOT IT?!?! Wow nice job Verizon. Now if I had a phone of Verizon that would do something for me . But Verizon actually something for us. That surprised me a lot. Anyway I think they should have this on a map so you could see exactly what area has it. City names are just one dot on a map. I want to see the whole area that has XLTE. Now Verizon let's get fios up on my street some time sooner then the 2020 plan you have going right now...
Does it not support LTE on the AWS band? I know it likely doesn't support HSPA on AWS.
AT&T is really getting left in the dust.
Don't hold your breath on Verizon FIOS. From what I have been told, the rollout of FIOS ceased with the installation of the current CEO. There are no timetables anymore for the expansion of FIOS.
FWIW, this can be a multi-step project.I hope this includes Berkeley/the east Bay Area because I have been getting abysmal speeds
Does anybody know is this will allow us IPhone users to talk and use internet at the same time?
Data and voice finally?
The VoLTE I thought would give this to verizon customers?

I wonder if voice-over LTE will eat into your data?

I'm sorry, but that is incorrect. I just tested it on my LG G2. I turned WiFi completely off, called my other phone and then proceeded to browse the internet during the call on 4G. If you'd like I can take a video for you.
That's why he said verizon iphone. It's a known limitation with verizon and the iphone.
Yes, that's what it's about, the iPhones. None of them can do talk and surf at the same time on cellular. A lot of other smartphones phones for at least a little while now essentially have extra radios built into them that would allow for that.I'm sorry, but that is incorrect.

Edit: After doing some research, it appears that this is a limitation on the iPhone and not on the Verizon network. The newer phones on both Verizon and Sprint can do calls + data at the same time.
Yeah, pretty much. I think they are mostly waiting for voice to become available over LTE which should pretty much take care of it without Apple needing to do something extra like put in another radio or something like that.Yeah I just re-read what he posted and updated my post. Looks like Apple needs to play catch up in that department.
My understanding is ATT paid a premium to be the only one that does call and data at same time. I remember reading this afew years ago, but not quickly finding an article on it..Edit: After doing some research, it appears that this is a limitation on the iPhone and not on the Verizon network.

It's somewhat both essentially. When using an iPhone on Verizon you won't have this ability, as you mentioned. Verizon as a carrier lacked this ability until SVDO became available and supported by some phones and then when LTE became available and phones had separate radios for LTE and CDMA. The iPhone doesn't have that so it doesn't support that, even though there's a way to do it with Verizon these days as various Android phones can do. So, it's a bit of both, Verizon's network and iPhone, although at this point a phone can do it on Verizon's network if it has the radios to do it.AT&T iPhones have been able to do simultaneous voice + cellular data beginning (IIRC) with the 3GS. AT&T used to run an iPhone 4 commercial mocking Verizon over this.
And, as I pointed out above, with an AT&T SIM card in a Verizon iPhone 5S, I also get simultaneous voice + cellular data, but not with a Verizon SIM card.
FWIW, the Sprint iPhone 5S models would have the same problem, except they don't come from the factory GSM-unlocked like the Verizon models do. That tells me it's something to do with the CDMA radio Apple is using, not that its specific to a particular wireless provider.
Will this apply to the original iPhone 5? Isn't the 5c just a repackaged 5?
