Data & Voice at The Same on iP5 Verizon with AT&T Nano Sim Card Works

[apierrec]

since it's using the GSM chip / technology (not the CDMA)?

Calling someone while surfing on safari or multi-tasking on any apps or reading emails ...

What am I missing here? It won't let me if I have a Verizon nano Sim card on it?

You won't have LTE. I'd just go get an AT&T iPhone.

Because you're using AT&T's HSPA+ network to do that. Verizon doesn't have one of those. Their CDMA/EDVO based network cannot do that with the iPhone 5.

DUH! Of course, lol.

Am rich, lol. If I want an LTE, I'll put my Verizon nano sim card - if there's no LTE, and I want voice & data on fast faux 4G, AT&T nano is going in.

So liberating ... No contracts plus I could travel roam-free around the world with E, 3G or 3.5 (and even no signal) hehe.

You're the one who seems ecstatic to be using an AT&T SIM in a Verizon iPhone.

Yeah, I noticed this, too. It's pretty cool, been using my Verizon phone on AT&T for a few days now.

Only problem I've found so far is that my family gets a busy signal when trying to call my AT&T number from their Verizon phones, even while I'm not on a call or phone is on sleep. Can't figure it out

If you're that "rich" then why not just have both models if you need both carriers. No SIM swapping then....

Cheers!

I was told it will likely not work. But got to find it out until somebody called me and I continue do what am doing then I was like ... Wait!

I am not rich and crazy (am not an iSheep or fanboy too, lol) ... I'll buy another phone on different platform later ... Non-tacky / non-plastics made Droid or Lumia 920 but ugh it's Wiindows but let's see ...
