Maybe for a few evdo towers, but who else besides AT&T and verizon have LTE towers up and running? Who's this mysterious '3rd party' that's putting up LTE towers using the same frequencies as Verizon that Verizon LTE devices will only be able to roam on post paid accounts?! I call BS on this. A cell phone company salesman, mattress salesman, and car salesman all use the same bs tactics lol!
Not talking about roaming on LTE, that obviously can't and likely won't ever happen for prepaid OR postpaid. We're talking about prepaid vs postpaid roaming in general on "normal" 3G/3.5G. This is a known fact, just look at the coverage maps. The iPads don't ONLY use LTE in fact for probably more than 90% of the country they can't use it at all.
 
Slightly off topic, but still relates to the PUSHY Best Buy & Verizon rep when I bought the iPad3 for my husband. They went so far as to tell me that if I elected to go with the post-paid plan (and pay the $35.00 activation) that the service would be better than if I elect Prepaid thru the device. They said we would have "Access to more towers" than people who are on the Prepaid plans??????????????? this made no sense to me!!!!!!!!!!!!! I told them NO!


Was anyone else told this??

I was told this exact thing (better service, more towers including use of Sprint towers if i bought a post-pay plan from them) today Dec 4 at a VZW corporate store in Columbus Ohio. They also said the post-pay allowed the iPad to be a hot-spot while pre-pay didn't.
