That app uses IP networks. It’s irrelevant; I can use VoIP software over my 3G connection just as well (10Mbps down and 4Mbps up is perfectly enough for VoIP).

Sure, using a smartphone on a data-only plan with some VoIP service might seem a good idea… until you get to the shady area called “roaming”. Roaming data costs much more than roaming voice.

That is exactly not what I’m saying. Just saying there are apps out there that use the LTE data network and make calls. As far as quality, never had an issue, dropped a call, or had anyone question the clarity.

Are you sure that Groove IP you are talking about is provided by the carrier, and not some third party?

Because I was perfectly sure we were discussing voice call service provided by the carrier over their cellular network, not some common third party VoIP software that can be used anywhere with IP connectivity.

As for regular VoIP, you cannot guarantee quality over non-prioritised data channels.

Groove IP is actually 100% done over data. You can use it on a not activated phone that uses only wifi.

The only reason for that is that VZW uses CDMA, and not GSM, and needs to implement gateways between their GSM cell stations (that which run LTE) and CDMA.

Seeing as how it is not in operation, it would most certainly be an added ability to consumers when it goes live.

THE ONLY 2 PHONES THAT LET YOU SURF THE WEB WHILE ON A PHONE CALL WHILE ONLY ON 3G WAS THE THUNDERBOLT AND THE REZOUND.. THE SNAPDRAGON PROCESSORS CAN USE MULTIPLE SIGNALS AT ONCE… I WISH ALL CDMA PHONES USE THE SNAPDRAGON SO WE CAN HAVE THE SAME SIMULTANEOUS TALK AND WEB WHEN NOT IN A 4G AREA…

Does that mean if LTE goes down we can’t make phone calls? I hope LTE is more stable by then!

Every single 3G GSM carrier transfers voice calls over WCDMA data channels.
Not a single 3G GSM carrier charges customers for data used by voice calls.
They are separate. Voice traffic is not accounted. At all.

NOT. IN. ANY. WAY.

It is not accounted for.

Mobile data and voice calls go over DIFFERENT sub-channels. Period.

Yeah. Because they need to, like, just enable it. That’s all. The LTE towers support it out of the box.

P.S. Well, okay, they need to join LTE towers’ voice data flow with their 2G CDMA network’s flow, which probably requires a lot of processing to translate the protocols into each other.
