Hey I was wondering if the lg esteem is Volute supported
Will we be able to talk and browse the net at the same time not that it matters just wondering thanks for input
 
this phone probaly has what it takes to handle such function but i know was of now metro does not provide us with such service ,i might be wrong dont quote me but i dont know for now if cdma phones can do talk and data at same time i mean the reason i say that is beacause at&t have always rubbed that against verizon's face even though verizon is has the fastest network and the most coverage but they have yet to have establish that service so im assuming those cell phone companies that deal with gsm phones or aka sim card phone have the ability to do such things. but i also just read in the forum about 5g and how researchers have been able to broad cast high speed broadband with phone signal on normal spectrum so who knows metro might take a poke at it as well.
 
The reason I ask is because they are updating there network to volute by the end of the first quarter but you can never get an answer from there customer service they are retreated when it comes to there company they work for
 
Do you mean like be on the phone with someone and at the same time browse the internet? if so then yes because i've done it. In fact i was just on the phone with my cousin the other day when he asked me something i didn't know much to and so i put him on speaker and googled.
 
YES, the LG Esteem is VoLTE ready. When MetroPCS implements it, it will do it.

Other older LTE phones by Metro (Samsung Indulge, Samsung Craft) are not VoLTE ready.

Metro is supposed to be moving to VoLTE first part of 2012, which of course means mid-year. :)

Right now with LTE, it's only data. There is no voice on LTE, on the carrier's spectrum. Yes, you can use Google Voice on LTE, accessing the internet, but that's a workaround.

With LTE phones -- ALL LTE phones, even Verizon -- for voice you use the carrier's other technology. In the case of Verizon and MetroPCS, that would be CDMA. So, you are talking on CDMA and browsing/downloading email/facebooking on LTE. Thus, you are using two radios at the same time, and battery usage sucks.

Or when you were on the phone with your cousin, might have even been on wi-fi rather than LTE.

It's just with CDMA-only phones like the Optimus, you can't talk and browse the same time while using CDMA. If you are on a wi-fi network, with a phone like the Optimus you can talk on CDMA and be on the internet at the same time.

But with VoLTE, you will be able to talk and browse on LTE at the same time -- thus using only one radio and your battery life will be so much better.

I stand corrected then because you're right, i was connected via wi-fi.
 
Thank you for all the input I thought it was but I could never get a straight answer from MetroPCS thank again
 
yeah. i cant just wait!!!! I going to fully be able to use my dear 4g without having to disable data off to save battery...
 
Its true on the howardforum there was a topic about it i was a lil skeptic but the thread starter took a pic of him on a call with the 4g icon still showing up top on his status bar.

credits to williedyno from the howardforums and for this pic he posted of him using his attain in a call and having 4g still.
