- ecspike 15y agoProbably not as well. Sprint has a crapload of MVNOs.
- cleverjake 15y agoYou are incorrect. They support GSM, since their 4g rollouts. The HTC thunderbolt was the first phone on verizon whose gsm features were supported. That being said, I copied the list from (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_wireless_communications_service_providers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_wireless_...), a line wrapped on TracFone Wireless's MVNO explanation and it included those by mistake. Sorry for the misinformation.
- ConstantineXVI 15y agoLTE != GSM. LTE is the official "4G" upgrade path for GSMA[1]; but LTE does not automatically give you a GSM and UMTS network to go with it (neither VZ or Sprint have deployed one). This Galaxy Nexus doesn't support LTE; so this model still isn't supported on them. [1] The industry assoc.; not to be confused with GSM, the 2G tech they supported. Often when people say "GSM", they actually mean "GSM+UMTS(+LTE as rollouts happen)"
- ConstantineXVI 15y agoI know several of those listed are T-Mobile MVNOs; likely most of this list is either them or AT&T. Cincy Bell is the only one I recognize that I know for sure isn't using either.
