4G Hotspot and Calling

[tastybento]

Does the TB drop the hotspot or suspend data if a call comes in when in 4G mode? Specifically, I want to have the hotspot up and running and a couple of laptops using it, but will their data connection drop or freeze if someone calls me?

I'm thinking about getting a Thunderbolt and I'm in good 4G coverage.

Thanks!

I don't think so. I know that even on 3G this bad boy supports simultaneous voice and data.

No, because voice comes in over 3G as long as the phone doesn't drop to 3G while you are using hotspot. And as the previous poster said it is SVDO, but it's not as good as LTE and 3G.

No. It doesn't just confirmed it. Ironically, I was calling to cancel my ISP after I got the number through mobile hotspot.
