How so??
I would like to hear your view points on this.....
EVDO doesn't allow simultaneous voice and data, but text messages work on the voice side of things, so in theory, it should work. You can still compose then it will send after hanging up.... Texts go right thru...Last edited by yester18; 01-02-09 at 01:44 PM.

I called tech support with verizon 4 times and have had 2 people tell me yes and 2 no. the 2 people that said yes couldn't tell me why i am not able to. Can you use your data service while on a voice call with the iphone?01-02-09 01:46 PMLike 0

It's just how it works. To do simultaneous voice & data you need to be on a service like HSPA or wait for LTE01-02-09 01:57 PMLike 0 - How so??

1 for voice
1 for data.
EVDO phones have one radio in them, and thus cannot be used simultaneously.
Text is on the voice side of things.01-02-09 02:00 PMLike 0 - EVDO is CDMA's version of 3G/3.5G. 3G only refers to the speed, it's competitive with GSM's HSPA/HSPA+. However, EVDO does not have support for simultaneous voice and data so while on a phone call, all you can do is make other phone calls and send text messages (SMS doesn't use data, it uses a special space in the voice "pipe" used for sending control messages between the handset and the tower).
Regarding the difference between 1x, 1X, 1xev, and 1XEV, I don't know. I think 1x refers to voice-only, 1X is data but not at EVDO speed, and 1XEV is data at EVDO speed, but I'm not sure what 1xev is.01-02-09 02:03 PMLike 0 - I understand that the 3G won't be displayed on the phone. I am trying to get confirmation or information on if or when you can use data services while on a call. Can you with AT&T? Is the Storm capable of this? Is it Verizon's network that doesn't allow it?01-02-09 02:03 PMLike 0

However, EVDO does not support simultaneous voice & data, so you will not be able to send/receive email, browse the web, or do anything else that uses data while on a voice call.

Thanks for the responses....
I always compose then let it send when I hang up.....01-02-09 02:09 PMLike 0 - Pete6Retired ModeratorUmmmm. 3G is a GSM protocol whilst EVDO is CDMA. They are more or less equivalent but not the same thing.
3G gets its name from the evolution of European mobile phones.
1G(eneration) was the old Analog network
2G is the current GSM network that we all know and love
3G is the 3rd Generation of GSM transmission protocol.
EVDO is part of CDMA which came into being as a single entity.
At least that is the way I understand it. Neither protocol can feed hi-speed data and voice to the same phone at the same time.01-02-09 02:20 PMLike 0 - Crucial_XtremeRetired ModeratorUmmmm. 3G is a GSM protocol whilst EVDO is CDMA. They are more or less equivalent but not the same thing.
