4G Services
4G is a service that must be included in your service plan and available within your area. 4G
coverage is currently available in only certain markets. For more details on 4G availability go to:
See the coverage map
link from the bottom of the page.
Note:
If 4G service is not included in your service plan, the 4G icon will not appear in the
Notifications area.
Note:
4G is up to 10x faster than 3G (based on download speed comparison of 3G's ~600 kbps vs.
4G's ~ 6 Mbps). (Actual speeds may vary.)
Note:
Not all services are available on 4G and coverage may default to 3G/separate network where
4G unavailable.
Important!
4G service must be added to your account before attempting a connection to the 4G
network.
Depending on which icons appear within the Notifications area, your services and features will
change. The following table indicates what functions and features are available when combinations
