Something I'm wondering about the Nexus/4G phones

[ToastPwnz]

If this should go in the Android Lounge, mods/guides please move it, I was on the fence about where it should go.

My Eris is finally starting to show its age, so come Friday I'll be picking up the Galaxy Nexus. I figure if I'm going to get a new phone I might as well pick up one that will last for quite a while.
However, one thing that might prevent me from getting it is the fact that its a 4G phone. I'm wondering if I buy a 4G capable phone if I have to get a 4G data plan with it, or if I can just use it on 3G. My town has horrible 4G signal since the nearest tower is about an hour and a half away from where I live, and I would also like to be able to keep my unlimited data. If you guys can answer this question, I would appreciate it quite a bit.

When you get a 4G phone you're automatically have the 4g unlimited data plan if you already have the 3G unlimited data plan. Verizon dont charge separate for their 4G on their phones.

For the sake of organization, I've moved this thread to the Android Lounge for you.

Ah, well I did not know that. Thank ye.

Sadly that doesn't fix the bad signal problem. Do you by chance know if I can get the phone without a 4G plan, just for the sake of ease, or is that not an option?

@B2L, thanks for moving it.

You can under mobile settings turn off the LTE radio to cdma. And the 4G will be off. The 4G plan is free of charge beings you have unlimited data plan
