The other carriers would advertise too. In fact, I could see AT&T now.. "The LARGEST Voice over LTE Network in the U.S.**"

 | | ! It's a step in the right direction for them considering the limited spectrum they have. Now they must incorporate the following capability in all their handsets by the end of the year to see a better migration towards 4G services. | |

| voice over EVDO ? said by karl : While companies like AT&T and Verizon may be offering LTE data services, voice services are still running over their older HSPA and EVDO networks. As we noted yesterday, both telcos are expected launch HD voice over LTE services, with the higher-definition services going mainstream in 2013.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but that should say 'voice services are still running over older GSM/HSPA and 1x networks'. EVDO does not handle voice services. | |
|
 |  | | Re: voice over EVDO ? The phones that can talk and surf at the same time are using SV-DO which is still 1x voice so you are correct. | |
|
 | | irrelevant.. since their prices went higher-- for phones & service, they've become irrelevant to the market. | |
|
 |  | | Re: irrelevant.. So its irrelevant like all the "news" about Sprint fighting against the SpectrumCo / CellCo deal? Since the only way it harms them is they won't lower their prices- just like their cried with TMO-USA / at&t Mobility deal. And after that failed- Sprint went out and RAISED their prices. | |

But that's not VoLTE, it's 1x advanced with a higher bitrate and has nothing to do with what Metro is doing. Yep most people don't understand how low the bitrates for standard mobile voice is. The fact is 10,000 minutes uses up less than 1 GB of data. This is why Verizon and at&T can offer unlimited minutes on their new Share plans. Also shows how much ungodly profit these companies have been making on voice calls for years now. | |

 | | The Problem with MetroPCS Is that Metro tends to get the old models,but most of the issues those phones got corrected were never fix. My old indulge fried 3 times and after that i got mad and I left Metro . Lets just hope they fix the LTE chips before they keep frying your phone. | |
