Can I disable 4G data access if I go to a rural area that does not have 4G? Can I also disable 3G if reception is spotty and use 2G edge? Thanks.

The LG L70 automatically selects the best available MetroPcs network. I often manually select 2G because it works fine for email and doubles battery life compared with 4G. Then I switch to 4G if I am watching videos. But, the auto switching works fine.

Unless it specifically mentions it works for 4G it will not. Ot will work with 3G and 1X though. That being said, I travel for a living and am more often than not in rural areas for extended timeframes and it works very well. In Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota I have service at least 90% of the time.

I live in a rural area and my reception went from 4G 1 bar to 4G 3 bars. I hope that helps.

All versions of the Xperia tablet sold in the United States are Wi-Fi only. They do not have a SIM card slot. Sony does sell a version that supports 3G in some countries but will likely never do so here because of a workaround I'm about to describe next.... There is a simple and cost-effective workaround to this "problem." That is, if you also have a recent model 4G phone (from any carrier)--and most people do--you can simply enable the "Mobile Hotspot" feature to turn your phone into a 4G gateway. Then, you can simply connect by Wi-Fi from your tablet to your phone. You don't need two data plans this way (one for the phone, one for the tablet); you just piggyback on your phone plan. I hope that makes sense. This works really well with my Verizon Motorola Razr MAXX HD phone on both 4G (available almost everywhere now) and 3G (in more rural areas). In fact, I can actually get faster throughput from my phone than from my 4Mbit DSL service in my own home. Because I have an unlimited data plan with Verizon, I don't worry about extra charges. That's the whole reason why the carriers want to sell 3G/4G tablets anyway....to get you to buy more data. But, lately they've found that the cellular tablets are a harder sell when they have to explain that there is a separate data plan. So, the carriers now offer the "hotspot" feature because the whole purpose is to get you to pay for data somehow. If you're not using it on your phone, maybe you'll use it on your tablet via your phone. I hope this helps you. Good luck.

I have downloaded several small apps over WiFi, but turned 3G data off before I activated the phone so can't tell you how well this feature works.

HSDPA is enabled and works right out of the box. You can tell because the icon will show "3G" and "H" for HSDPA. If by some chance it does not. There is an "HSDPA Switch" icon in your Start/Settings/Connection menu to enable it. If unfilled, check the box and restart and you are fine. If after all this and you just see "E" then you are in an area that does not yet have HSDPA connectivity and you have defaulted down to the slower EDGE network speeds. It changes back and forth seemlessly as you travel so you don't have anything to configure once HSDPA is enabled. Cheers.

I think it means that you can access a wireless plan through AT&T.; This is usually a monthly few and will allow you to use your iPad without being connected to wi-fi. However, you can turn off your 4g and only use wi-fi at no extra fee. I hope that makes sense and helps!

Since you are using voice only, no data, why does it need to be on the 4g network? 2G would be more than adequate.

I have simple mobile and when I had this phone the 3g did not work. It is not capable of 4g at all. I do not recommend this phone. It broke within a year of use.

I can't use mine you have to have 4g in the area and I don't ,go on freedom pop site and activate, and check their map to make sure you can use it in your area.

As long as you have a signal you wlll not be using any GB. Your GB are used up when you are only on 3g.

You can purchase AT&T; 3G or 4G without any contract - just as needed. If you have wi-fi available, you can shut off the cellular data. I switch back and forth at my convenience.

This was a response that came from the company "First of all I would like to thank you for your interest in Wilson Products. The unit that you were recommended is a great unit and it will cover voice and data up to 3G. I understand your concern regarding 4G and offer a little more clarification regarding this topic. 4G is usually* Data network therefore even after that network becomes available through AT&T in your area there will always be Voice, SMS and 3G Data. The amplifier that you were recommended covers two ranges of frequencies, 800 MHz and 1900 MHz which covers all your typical US domestic carriers for both Voice and 3G Data but whereas 4G is transmitted on a different frequency it would require a different amplifier for that range specifically." No distinction was made in conversations with the company rep regarding operating systems, android vs apple.

It does, but they cannot guarantee 4G. I do not have any issues with not having 4G...it is a tiny bit slower, but I don't have an issue with it.

it means that if you decided to get a data network (3g/4g). you dont have any restriction. you can choose either at&t;, tmobile, sprint or verizon.

this is a 4g device. that means that it contains the necessary hardware to get, at best, 4g signal. if you are not in a 4g area you will get 3g. if you are not in a 3g area you will get 2g(yes that exists, but i am unsure if 1g exists). if you are not in a 2g area....... you probably dont need a smart phone. in any case, this device will get 4g data if it is available. verison has great 4g coverage, but not perfect so the mention of 3g was probably to cover all the bases and tell you exactly what you are buying.
