    AT&T Next 11/17-11/24

    So having spent sometime in the "Have any 11/17-11/24 shipments been bumps?" thread, it has come to my attention that AT&T next customers are widely and frequently being left outside of the pool of 'bumps' that most customers under other payment arrangements are receiving.

    AW3, do you have to enable the LTE?

    I've got a grandfathered AT&T plan, and hear they are refusing to activate the AW3 on those plans. Do I have to activate the LTE? Can I just not use that function, and have the same basic functionality as the AW0 that I currently have, ie: cell phone calls over Bluetooth, notifications, etc...
