LTE isn't yet in my area (central alabama, in the middle between Birmingham and Montgomery) and not sure when it might roll-out to this area...but here's my question...
Verizon has a tower just up the road (actually, they lease space from AT&T and use their tower), but at any rate, when I leave the range of my Airave at home, I'm roaming now with 5 full bars and 3G...on my SGS3.
So I'm just curious, if Verizon brings 4G to this area, which is REALLY likely before Sprint gets Network Vision installed here, will my phone do 4G when I hit Verizon and begin roaming?
If it does, I may just unplug my Airave 3G and use the roaming 4G from time-to-time when I want to play with faster speeds.
I'm just not sure if they are based on the same technology or not...I picked up my SGS3 Thursday, and since I know for a fact that 4G isn't anywhere around here, I've turned off the LTE and put mine to hit CDMA only for data...I figure it might help with battery life if it's not trying to connect to 4G (or searching for it)...when I know it's here, I'll turn it back on.
