In Verizon's case, you can go to 3G when 4G is not available. Both come out of the same data plan. > I'm actually looking at Clear, they have good coverage where I am, Philly, > NYC, DC, Baltimore, and 3g is also included(via Sprint 3g). 4g is > unlimited, and you get 5 gigs of 3g, if you're not covered by 4g.

So, this is actually common where they have built various "4G" networks (in this case, WiMAX, which will in likelihood give way to LTE soon). My guess on why they do this is because the 3G is very thin and overused, so they need to encourage people to get off of it or else they jeopardize other important services, like people making simple phone calls. (e.g. one YouTube video on 3G takes approximately 70 voice calls, I've been told by someone at AT&T) > Admittedly true about international coverage, but I just buy sim cards > overseas, and tether a GSM phone I have for that. I'm currently looking for one card that I can take to just about every country (and just add money to online), but I haven't yet found one. If you know of any, do share.... -- Also on LinkedIn?
