It's CDMA but it's **NOT** Global (this is the reason why.)
Touch Pro2 is a global phone, that's why it has a SIM slot and you can unlock it to use on other GSM networks.
4G replaces the need of SIM card on their global phones. Read up on how 4G works, you will quickly understand why. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G "4G may allow roaming with wireless local area networks"

I looked at my atrix's sim card and it says 3g on there, what do you guys have? Do you think this could be a reason for my un impressive dl speeds?

att is handing out new ones that are for 4g when it comes out but you can get them now at a nearby store

Wait what? i ordered my atrix last week and it also came with a 3g sim card but what your saying is theres a 4g sim card?? do you have a pic of one?
Your sim card should have no effect on data speeds. All they do is give the phone the carrier information they need to identify with a cell tower under your phone number, and store contacts. The difference between 3G and 4G cards are purely cosmetic.
i think not. cuz i had questioned about the 4G sim card a while back and she told me that they will eventually roll out for compatible phones.
Lol AT&T '4g' is just 3g only a little faster. It uses the same bands and APNs that 3g uses. Any 3g sim will work on a 4g network in a 4g phone at 4g speeds.

As far as I'm aware we don't use cdma in the uk the cdma option translates to us as 2g
And does it say wcdma?

Hello Everyone.. Need an Help. I want to know is their any way to use an CDMA sim in Galaxy 3 ?
I don't think you will be able to use cdma sim as frequencies used in our phone and the sim are different (a lot).
This is why the same phone is released twice (once gsm and other cdma) in some countries where cdma is used more
T mobile 3g frequency in america is about 100 Mhz more than what most of phones over there can operate at. That is why it lost popularity.
If there was a way why would phones have a limit to their frequecies

Do CDMA phones even use Sims? I'm pretty sure the network is built in to the phone.

Nahi re rahul...you can not do that. its GSM phone.
I can not get the nvm folder unlocked on the 9k port. I do need it unlocked to be able to write the data settings and have them stick, correct? Also to change the MEID? I have CDMA WS 2.7, QPST 366, DFS 4.0.0.4. Can anyone help?
I am trying to flash this phone to cricket-
I do have 1x data with a AT&T sim installed. Text and calls work.
I also have 1x data with no sim card installed, but I can't make calls.
Yes I am trying to unlock and edit the 9k port with the vzw sim in the phone.
Edit: 'open sesame door' DOES NOT WORK
The radio itself ia the problem. It doesnt work at the frequencies that at&t operates on. Yes it does have a sim but it isnt the same as a sim that is in an at&t phone.

Yup.
Good luck. The thunderbolt doesnt operate on the same frequencies as at&t. The radios are not capable of it.

CDMA doesn't use sim card. Sim card is gsm by default. The one on the tbolt is not a "sim" as we know it. Im pretty sure it I for 4g LTE only. Everything else should work, yes 3g cdma, without it present. I think it is a UIM card. I have heard Verizon is using it for CDMA authentication as well, but I am not sure on that one. CDMA does not need a "sim" card, but a carrier could choose to use a UIM or any hardware key if they desired. If you aren't on Verizon's network, it should be 100%. If you are(even through a third party carrier that uses Verizon for their cdma service) you will need a new card. Once they are issued, they get tied to the account and phone number and cannot be changed for security reasons.

Do tell how. It is a cdma evdo phone. It will work in countries with cdma technology but without a gsm antenna it can't function properly as a world phone.

So you are saying the data fields on the 9k port are irrelevant to my data issue. All the NV items on 9k port still have Verizon information, so the UM and AN User ID and so forth are all the old Verizon information. I can NOT write to these fields, from what I understand this might be the reason I am not getting 3G.
So if those settings are not needed, is it my Radio? Like I said all my calls, texts, MMS even all WORK. My only issue is 1x Data, I can't seem to get 3g.
ALSO WHEN THE VERIZON UIM/SIM CARD (WHICH EVER IT IS) IS IN THE PHONE, I HAVE NO DATA AT ALL, I ONLY GET DATA WHEN I USE A SIM CARD FROM ANOTHER PROVIDER.
THE DATA WORKS WITH NO UIM/SIM IN THE PHONE, BUT WHEN THERE IS NO UIM/SIM I CAN NOT MAKE CALLS.
Have you seen this article? You are correct with your approach, this may help you.

Maybe you need a 4G sim? If i remember correctly when 3g came around for orange i had a 3g phone but my sim wasn't 3g so therefore i had to buy a 3g sim card in order for the 3g capabilities on my phone, Unless you ring up 3network and explain to them your having trouble getting 4g on your device,
They'll probably tell you you'll need a new sim or something
According to the site it's a software upgrade from three that's needed
Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk
There's just not much reliable coverage yet, there's no need for a software update on an android phone, if it's capable it will get it. I often get an lte connection when I'm out and I did no such update

According to site like I said
How can I get 4G?
To get 4G when it comes to your area you need to make sure you’ve downloaded all the latest software updates on your 4G device. Your 4G update is not labelled as 4G, so we recommend you download all software to ensure you have access to 4G when it comes to your area.
