5S Do Voice and Data Verizon question ?

[ROLLTIDE1]

I have yet to see this posted anywhere but will the new 5S do voice and data at the same time on Verizon ?

Probably not unfortunately

Nope. Would need an extra antenna now and no word on VoLTE mentioned.. Gonna have to wait and see on the iPhone 6. VZ voLTE will roll out mid next year. voLTE phones are due by the end of the year tho on VZ.

Most likely not

We'll have to wait for the real tech specs but its not looking that way unfortunately.

Well that's very sad news if indeed correct

That is always the one thing about the iPhone and VZW that confused me. My neighbor's android phone does voice and data over VZW's network, so why not the iPhone?

As expected it does not.
Just like the i5.
Only on GSM carriers you will be able to talk and use data.
Maybe it will happen next year with the iPhone 6.

Really? Can you explain in what way? And, are you sure the WiFi wasn't on?

Some android devices use 2 antennas to connect to both CDMA for voice and LTE for data at the same time.
Takes more space and uses up more battery.

No wifi and positive. It works the way you'd expect.
