I know that, but the way to get around it was a cheap fix at the handset level by installing an extra radio. Verizons network is a ways ahead of Sprint but I can do it on Sprints network with my new phone and I do not have LTE any where around me. It also works on the femtocell that I have from sprint where it previously "didnt" work with my Samsung Epic and the Femtocell only has EVDO.
