iphone 4... *one* way AT&T is better

Verizon ws experimenting with simultaneous voice and data over the EVDO network. I believe they were calling it SVDO.

As others have stated, reps and ad's weren't advertising it because the reliability was unknown.

 

It's supported on the chipset.

I formally apologize for mentioning simultaneous voice/data. I have derailed the thread.

So, any other conflicting ideas on the limited number of participants in a conference call? Or is "the network" the final answer?

 

So theoretically they could push an OTA that would allow IP4 to have simultaneous voice & data?

 

No. The chipset has to support that feature.

 

After poking around on the VZW site a bit, I don't see the actual term 'conferencing'. I only see 3-way calling.

I don't know why I even care, I'll never use it, it just seemed odd, that's all.

 

I think Verizon can do voice and data on 3g all this time. I don't believe their pre 4g network had any limitation. I thought I read somewhere Verizon decided to not allow it to keep from dropping calls like att. Vzw is all about having a better network or at least doing what they can to get there. I just figured they were protecting people by not allowing both.

If I was vzw and I knew that allowing data and voice was possible but might make as many or more dropped calls then att then I wouldn't add it in either. Again I'm not sure this is the exact case
