Will Sprint iPhone 4S Support Simultaneous Voice and Data?

[gr8gatzby]

Have searched wide and far on the interwebs and even called Sprint customer service, but no one seems to know the answer. Will the Sprint iPhone 4S support simultaneous voice and data? Thanks.

No. For simultaneous voice and data, you must be connected to a WiFi network.

It only works on Sprint on 4G and the iPhone isn't 4G, otherwise you need wifi as was already stated.

No. For simultaneous voice and data, you must be connected to a WiFi network.

or AT&T

It's CDMA so no.

 

[irDigital0l]

No for CDMA yes for GSM.

To be more specific, if you want to be able to have simultaneous voice and data on Sprint, you need WiMax (4G) capable phone (like HTC EVO).

I really wish more manufacturers would implement SVDO in their devices...

I'm on ATT right now and find myself rarely trying to do both at the same time. I rarely actually talk on my phone anyway.

Sadly, the chips are a bit more expensive, power hungry, and the cellular network needs to be upgraded to support them.

I laughed out loud when I read this. Reminded me of this video...

Nope AT&Ts network allows you to do that in the network. You can do it on Sprint only if you are connected to wifi but not while on Sprints network.

No network upgrade is needed for SVDO.

A lot of confused reporters got SVDO mixed up with 1x Advanced, which does.

A small software upgrade is needed for the towers. Otherwise, the towers would still only allow one connection per number. But the upgrade is so minimal, it can be remotely deployed over the entire network within a few days.
