There won't be any LTE towers in Central Illinois until sometime next year.

Your phone automatically switches to 3G if there isn't an LTE signal. You will see the "3G" icon in your status bar. I spend a lot of time in Central Illinois and almost always have a very strong 3G signal, but your distance from the tower and terrain affect that.

As for call quality, that has nothing to do with 3G/4G signal - data and voice are two separate signals.

Please completely disregard my above post. I missed that you said "HTC Design 4G", you are posting in the wrong forum. This forum is for the HTC EVO 4G LTE.
