Help Data and Voice not working simultaneously on Non Verizon Sim on my Droid Turbo?

[Atif Usmani]

Hi there

I am using Verizon's Droid Turbo in Pakistan where I am obviously using a Non Verizon AND 3G network. Just want to ask whether I will be able to GET simultaneous data and calling here ?? or if not what should I do to enable that?as I always had it on previous sets

I heard lot about it and I hope simultaneous data and calling feature is not locked to Verizon 4G Lte enabled only..... otherwise this phone is of no use to me.... or for anyone with Non Verizon 3G OR 4G network....

If the network is GSM, yes. GSM radios have always had enough bandwidth to do voice and data. Cdma, the voice network used by Verizon, does not allow this, so Verizon has had to use special phones that can have two radio connections, one to cdma and one to LTE, at the same time.

So, your only issue will be in your network is cdma rather than GSM.

Although, I should point out that the turbo was designed and meant to be used specifically on Verizon's network. It's not a generic phone. I might suggest purchasing a phone meant specifically to be used on GSM networks.

Yes my network is GSM and rather 3G HSDPA and not CDMA
