I have an original 3g Droid with the unlimited plan. My existing contract ended in April.
After 26 years being a loyal VZW customer, I'm tired of all their crap and would rather buy my own devices now and keep my options open. So I do not want to sign another long term contract because at some point I may decide to try another carrier.
My existing Droid is doing weird stuff (not responding to some touches and swipes,) and doesn't work well with all the summer humidity. I'd like to buy a another device to replace it, but keep the 3g unlimited plan I have. According to VZW I can buy a used Droid and simply activate it no charge but I'd like to know my other options.
If I buy an unlocked SGIII quad band or any other 4G capable device, will it work with the 3g plan in 3g mode?
I don't need or want 4G, nor a change to my existing plan. Will the device I buy force a mandatory change? Meaning do I have to buy a used or refurbished 3g device?
Thanks in advance for any input, ideas and guidance.
