There is actually a wide world of difference between 3G phones and 4G.

In case you folks would like some education on the evolution of cell phone technology all the way from 1G to the present 4G, you can listen to this professorial guy expound on the differences and nuances of the technology.

First, since it is RF and it is using the same cell towers; there will be dead zone areas.
Second, They have a device called UBS G+, this allows to autoswitch from 4G to 3G for wider coverage when you get weak 4G signal. This will work in rural areas and small towns if you travel and stay in them.


I've considered Clear, but in my investigations found that coverage was spotty. You'd either have full bars or none, without much in-between. Is that still the case? It would suck if I got great coverage along 183, but none at my house or work. Originally Posted by Howler
