ATT and verizon should be compatible (same technology for 4G) Both will be using VoIP for voice traffic
They could be compatible, but the main problem is in the frequency bands. There are a lot of freqencies for now (I think 7 bands in the US right now, and more being talked about), and I suspect it will be a while before they have phones that can do all the frequencies to make a truly world LTE phone.
Agreed!guess i'll stick with 3g, should get faster as people leave it
$30 for unlimited ftw

Lots of criticism of the plan pricing.
When more competition gets involved I bet we see something closer to 30-50GB for $50, which is really about all you could do if you tried to use unlimited on a 3G plan in a month.

You are correct. I had around here somewhere the allotment channels and Verizon and AT&T were awarded about equal allotments in that auction but all different bands in the 700 Mhz spectrum. If they use a synthesized tuner for the transceiver, the phones could be tuned for the appropriate band, therefore compatible. But the bands used by AT&T and Verizon are different.
Droid Life reports that its possible to burn through the 5GB threshold in little more than half-hour using torrents.

I'll stick with unlimited 3G. For a phone or tablet, its fine.

Yeah I agree! Until 4G gets more used and becomes more of a standard no real big reason to pay more right now when 3G really does most things fine.
Maybe in the future but I think Verizon devices are CDMA like Sprint and AT&T's are GSM like T-Mobile.
VZ and ATT will be doing LTE data only for a while. Eventually they will put voice on LTE. They should be compatible, but the frequencies will be different.

But the LTE networks will be aside from the CDMA and GSM networks to begin with if I am not mistaken.
I was wondering about it when they get it all rolled out. It would be great if they would, for a customer and coverage anyway.
i don't ever invest in brand new technology..its a good way to lose a bunch of money. stick with your 3G until they pretty much boot you off of it. the difference is not worth the money.
