Can Verizon Do Data & Voice at the same time like AT&T?

[lordofthereef]

I had an original iphone and TBH I don't remember if it did or not cause edge was so damn slow id get tired of talking before my search came back, but all of this is a moot point because the OP is asking about iphones on Verizon and the original iphone was only on AT & T

I think you may have misunderstood what I was saying here...

A bunch of folks are responsding with "you can have data and voice at the same time if on wifi"

That has always been the case. ALWAYS. CLEARLY the OP is NOT asking about wifi here... which is qhy I point out how silly it is for people to even be mentioning it.

EDGE does not support voice+data simultaneously, for what it's worth.

Yep, I see where I misinterpreted your post...my appologies

Note 3 - talk & data with LTE only, no go on 3G
IPhone 5s - doesn't work even on LTE

If you had read the entire thread you'd see why there was absolutely no need in you posting this...

Wow, a bit snarky aren't we.

Yes the phone chipset has to support it and it has to have the applicable antenna. In the iPhone's case for the last few models the chipset supports it but they didn't hook up the applicable antenna for it to work. It probably slows them down to make a model specifically to support verizon's setup. VoLTE should fix this problem as long as you have a LTE signal.

Haven't seen this mentioned yet, but if you're talking to somebody else on an iPhone then, actually you can!!!! (Just use FaceTime audio to talk). Or, if they have a non-iPhone, use Google Voice. Since neither of those activate voice, & are in essence VOIP apps, they do not block you from using data.

Google voice is not VOIP, it still uses your phones minutes and cell service.
Google talk I think does what you mentioned as a voip setup.
